What does Aqua Rush Gold smell like?

It opens bright with lime, bergamot and pink grapefruit, while apple and green mandarin orange pull it towards a fruity, green side. In the heart, marine notes and water lily keep the aquatic thread going, nutmeg and pink pepper add a light spice, and jasmine and violet root bring a soft floral touch. The base rests on vetiver, cedarwood, Australian sandalwood and musk, with amber leaving a little sweetness. The result is fresh, slightly synthetic and gently sweet. Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue (Eau de Toilette) and Zara Classic 12.0 have a close profile.
