Fresh Water Lili Bermuda for women and men

This one is more masculine than feminine. It evokes the images of a glass of cold lemonade .) I do smell petit grain with the light tinge of incense. The musk is very much on the background not coming on the front. The Bergamot and Grapefruit fight Mandarin and Orange here, and the first “couple” wins. So, for me it’s much more of a Grapefruit than an Orange. It’s even smells like a Lemon.

Fresh Water starts out with a bright, sharp, zesty, bitter orange & bergamot blast. The petit grain seems to enhance the top notes like no other! The beginning bitter "green" fragrance reminds me a lot of Dior Escale a Portofino, but when it dries down, it dries softer, without that harsh cleaning solution scent that you get from Dior. I'm not sure what this perfume would be like coming out of the spray bottle, but within ten minutes of dabbing this on my wrist, it disappears. =(

If this lasts longer in spray form, I think this would be great during those scorching summer months. Sprayed on skin, hair, & clothes....you would certainly feel "refreshed" by the "true" orange it dries down to whenever there's a soft breeze. Just don't expect that sweet & juicy-fruit-type-orange that you get from other fragrances. You definitely WON'T find that here. This dries down to a crisp true orange---one that I've been trying to find for some time now. I hope they come up with a fragrance that smells like the dry-down of this throughout the ENTIRE wearing...because Lili Bermuda hit it right on the nail with the orange at the end. (BTW, I didn't get any incense or orange blossom here.) Definitely give this a try. Dior Escale a Portofino and even Rochas Eau de Rochas didn't agree with me throughout the sample-trial, but this one certainly did (after it calmed a bit). This is a mature-citrus for mature-minded audiences. =) HTH!
