What does Acqua Essenziale (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

It leans towards summer and spring, the two seasons most voters pick. It suits daily wear, leisure time and the office. Longevity and sillage are moderate, and voters mostly read it as masculine and modern.

The top opens cool with mint, lemon leaf, mandarin orange and grapefruit. In the heart, rosemary, lavender and geranium add a green, floral touch. The base settles on patchouli, cistus and vetiver, a woody footing beside the aquatic, lightly sweet character. Cristiano Ronaldo Origins and Karl Lagerfeld Bois de Vétiver have a close profile.
