What does Wackelwasser Dark smell like?

Both longevity and sillage are moderate, so it neither fills a room nor fades quickly. Most voters suggest spring, fall and summer, with winter chosen less often. It leans towards leisure, daily wear and the office, and reads slightly more masculine than feminine.

The top notes are ginger, lemon, bergamot and cardamom, giving a bright, spicy and slightly green start. In the heart, black orchid and jasmine add a soft floral touch. The base turns sweet with malt and caramel, while cedarwood and musk give it a woody footing. A synthetic edge runs through the accords. Le Labo Citron 28 and Tom Daxon Sicilian Wood have a close profile.
