What does La Piscine smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated strong, though those ratings rest on few votes. Most voters pick summer and spring, and leisure, evenings and nights out lead the occasions. Votes split evenly between masculine and feminine, so it sits between the two.

Aquatic notes, aldehydes and chlorine give the opening a cool, synthetic cleanness. In the heart, tuberose, jasmine and coconut add a soft floral side, while geosmin and violet leaf leave an earthy trace. The base of marine notes, cashmeran, moss and ambroxan dries down woody, with a faintly animal and leathery edge.
