What does Almost Transparent Blue smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both moderate. Most voters recommend summer and spring, and leisure, daily wear and the office are the most named occasions. Most call it masculine, with some finding it modern.

It opens with a bright, fresh citrus from lime and yuzu. In the heart, aldehydes and thyme blossom push it towards a green, lightly spicy and aquatic line. The base settles on hinoki cypress, cedarwood and musk, giving a clean woody floor. A fruity, synthetic edge runs through it. Zirh Zirh and Kappa Blue have a close profile.
