The Water Brand · 2021

Floral · Fruity · Sweet

The Water Brand Tropica is a floral, fruity unisex scent that sets grapefruit, peach and pineapple against coconut and jasmine sambac.

The base of vanilla, sandalwood, musk and amber sweetens and rounds it off, leaving a sweet, gourmand impression overall. Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters place it in leisure and daily wear, with office and evening use also mentioned. It reads as easygoing and suits anyone. M.

Bossa Wood

7.5

The Water Brand · 2021

Floral · Fruity · Sweet

The Water Brand Bossa Wood is a unisex scent that sets a sweet, gourmand and woody warmth beneath a floral, spicy heart. It opens with plum, peach, clove, cinnamon and cardamom, pairing fruity sweetness with spice. In the heart, Turkish rose, carrot seed and ylang-ylang bring a soft floral note. It dries down to cedar, sandalwood, patchouli and white musk, leaving a woody, powdery, creamy base. Longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though few voters have rated it, so treat that loosely. Its sweet, oriental build suits those who like perfume in cooler weather. It reads neither masculine nor feminine, sitting somewhere between.
