What does L'Eau de Corse smell like?

Citrus leads: mandarin orange, lemon and bitter orange give it a bright, slightly bitter, fruity freshness. Petitgrain and mint pull it towards green, myrtle and cistus add a spicy edge, and oakmoss leaves a woody depth underneath.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters recommend summer and spring, and it suits leisure, work and daily wear. Slightly more voters call it masculine, though many also see it as classic. Yves Rocher Comme une Evidence Homme Green and Caudalie Zeste de Vigne have a close profile.
