How does it perform?
From 45 community ratings, all out of 10.
Holds up through the day and fades gently toward evening.
Leaves a light trail and stays polite in a crowd.
Sits nicely on a shelf.
The price makes you think, so a small size is a smart start.

CreamyWhat does Guiding Water smell like?
Most voters pick spring and summer, and it is mostly worn for daily use, leisure and the office. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. In character votes, feminine leads, with modern and masculine readings also present.
It opens with ozonic notes, aquatic notes and watermelon for a cool start. In the heart, cyclamen, lotus and jasmine add a soft floral layer. In the base, white musk, lily and pink pepper settle it into a creamy, clean finish. Kenzo L'Eau par Kenzo pour Femme and Issey Miyake L'Eau d'Issey Lotus have a close profile.
