What does Sacred Water smell like?

It opens bright and lightly spicy with citron, mandarin orange and ginger. The heart turns to magnolia, laminaria and orange blossom, a soft, green-tinged floral, with the aquatic and fruity accords coming forward. Cedar, ambergris and amyris settle underneath as a woody base, while the sweetness stays in the background.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily, leisure and business wear lead the occasions. It reads more feminine than masculine to voters, though a fair share call it masculine or modern. French Avenue Pinnace Oryn and Escada Joyful have a close profile.
