What does Aqua Oriens smell like?
It wears at a moderate level for both longevity and sillage, so it stays fairly close. Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily wear, leisure and the office come up most often. It reads mostly feminine, with some voters calling it modern.
It opens with pear and lime, fruity and bright. The heart of honeysuckle and orange blossom adds a gentle floral note, and it dries down to a sweet, warm base of amber and musk.
