SpicyWhat does Essence Pure Ice pour Homme smell like?
It opens on three citrus notes: mandarin orange, grapefruit and lime. In the heart, bamboo leaf, marine notes and juniper push it towards green and watery. In the base, woody notes, white musk and amber soften that coolness, leaving a touch of sweetness and spice. The overall impression is clean and fruity, with a floral edge. Acqua di Portofino Faro and Gritti Pomelo Assoluto have a close profile.
