What does Primal Waters - ADH: Aroma de Hormiguero smell like?
Voters rate its longevity as good and its sillage as moderate. Spring, summer and autumn draw almost equal votes, while winter trails behind. Leisure, daily wear and the office are the most named settings. On character, masculine leads slightly, though a fair share call it feminine.
Oakmoss, fir balsam, galbanum and vetiver lead the scent, while mastic adds a resinous touch and mushrooms and geosmin an earthy one. Petitgrain and artemisia bring a citrusy, spicy freshness, and patchouli deepens the woody base. Algae and formic acid give it an unusual, damp-greenery feel.
