Scent Profile

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:
Summer

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office

Its fresh and light profile makes it suitable for casual wear and sports, while its weak longevity prevents it from being a good choice for formal events. The moderate sillage allows it to work in an office setting without being overwhelming.

About

Exotic Waters opens with a splash of juicy mandarin, ripe pear, and a medley of bright, unnamed fruity notes that instantly evoke sunshine. As it settles, a clean floral heart of jasmine, gardenia, and a hint of rose emerges, softened by the aquatic sweetness of melon. The overall impression is light, fresh, and undeniably summery.
