Lemon, lemon, and even more lemon - I almost wondered if that was it and if I really wanted to smell like a walking lemon squeezer. After the first few minutes, the sweeter, fruity notes emerged which proved me wrong, and finally settled to a slightly sugared, iced green tea with a hint of grapefruit peel.
At this point I am fully aware that, apart from green tea, none of the notes I mention are officially part of the composition. Therefore, I am merely describing my impression of this fragrance.
A great summer scent indeed, for its fresh startf and a better projection than the usual eau de cologne. With a more generous application, one could be wrapped in a citrus cloud.
If there was one thing to criticise, it would be the colour of the bottle.
Apparently, each bottle was designed to fit the theme of underwater worlds, and Eau Pure was dedicated to the Arctic Ocean. In my eyes, the concept was successfully implemented in terms of the visual part. The aquamarine blue in combination with the metallic parts reminds of cold cleanness with an even antiseptic touch. While 'clean' certainly resonates with the 'pure' in the name, I would have preferred a less icy representation of the scent itself with its sparkling citrus without any sharpness - more of a friendly, mild yellow-green.
Logically, it should be equally obvious: squeeze a bright lemon into the iced water bottle and you have the result. It'S just a pity that the desired colour is already occupied by Eau Soleil which was released 8 years later. Nevertheless, enjoy your summer with the freshness of sweet green tea from the depth of the arctic waters.
