Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Formal

Its clean, fresh and subtle nature makes it excellent for casual wear, office use, and even sport where it won't offend. However, its modest projection and traditional scent profile make it less ideal for a dynamic date or a grand formal event.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Agua Fresca bursts open with sunny bergamot and mandarin, sharpened by a touch of green petitgrain and aromatic marjoram. The heart unfolds into a clean, spicy blend of lavender and peppery coriander, underscored by herbal juniper and rosemary. It settles into a comfortable, earthy base of vetiver, sandalwood, and pine, given a classic barbershop musk and oakmoss finish. It's a fresh, woody aromatic that evokes Mediterranean landscapes.
