What does Cucumber smell like?

Most voters pick summer and spring for it, and it leans towards daily wear, leisure and the office. Its longevity and sillage are moderate, so it leaves a light trail without filling the room. Voters see it as more feminine than masculine, though a fair share call it masculine.

It opens with bamboo, cucumber and lotus leaf, a clean, watery greenness. Linden blossom, freesia and lily of the valley then add a soft, slightly sweet floral note. The base of musk and white woods closes it in a plain, synthetic-clean way. Bon Parfumeur 802 Pivoine Lotus Bambou and Neil Morris Fragrances Rainflower have a close profile.
