Green Water (1993)

7.4

Jacques Fath · 1993

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Jacques Fath Green Water is a fresh, citrusy fragrance for men built on bergamot, mandarin and lemon with green notes; it has been discontinued. It opens with citrus and green notes, while caraway and basil add a light spiciness to the freshness. The heart brings ginger, jasmine and lily of the valley for a soft floral touch. The base of amber, oakmoss and musk settles into a calm, dry finish. Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin. Most voters pick summer and spring, and it suits daily wear, leisure and the office. Most see it as masculine and classic. Penhaligon's Quercus and Berdoues 1902 - Cédrat have a close profile.
