Now Intense

Rave

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Rave Now Intense is a men's fragrance that opens with citrus and aquatic freshness and settles onto a woody, lightly resinous base.

The base of cedar, sandalwood and leather pulls the scent towards wood, while the synthetic and floral accords stay behind the freshness.

Lush · 2024

Fresh · Citrus · Aquatic

Lush The Dew on Their Hems is a unisex fragrance with a fresh, green and aquatic character, built around the feel of dew and damp earth.

Poesie Perfume Oyster! and Psychotic Frozen Liquid have a close profile.

Pool

8.0

Tsu Lange Yor · 2023

Fresh · Floral · Aquatic

Tsu Lange Yor Pool is a fresh, green and aquatic unisex fragrance, its fruity sweetness kept soft and light. It opens with Italian bergamot, lychee, raspberry and cucumber, cool and juicy at once. The heart of blackcurrant, coriander, tomato leaf and lily of the valley adds a green, slightly earthy touch. The base of musk, ginger and bell pepper brings a spicy warmth. Voters rate its longevity as good and its sillage as moderate, so it stays close rather than filling a room. The number of votes is small, so these ratings are only a rough guide. Being unisex, it suits men and women alike.

Zara · 2020

Fresh · Citrus · Green

Zara 8.0 Summer is a fresh, citrusy men's scent, with green and fruity touches that give it a light, warm-weather character.

L'Essence des Notes

Fresh · Aquatic · Green
