What does Cu smell like?

It opens with leaves, grapefruit and bergamot, a crisp and slightly bitter start. The heart brings aquatic notes, jasmine and pepper: the floral side stays soft while the pepper adds a spicy edge. The base of cedarwood, patchouli and musk settles it onto a woody, faintly earthy footing.

Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin rather than filling a room. It suits easy daytime wear, though the number of ratings is small, so these impressions are tentative. Nishane Hacivat and Nicolaï Eau Turquoise have a close profile.
