(untitled) l'eau Maison Margiela 2011

So I didn't get along at all with the "normal" untitled, too harsh, too angular, too herbal. L'Eau improves on every point...more beautiful! L'Eau is also a green-fresh, slightly bitter fragrance, but somehow more flattering, easier to wear than the big brother!
It refreshes me more than the brother, is zestier and at the same time has a hint of minimal sweetness.
For me, this is the ideal interplay. In its beauty, it can be compared to Panorama, but without having the dominating fig sweetness. L'Eau has no nerve factor, even though Panorama didn't really annoy me. L'Eau also has a nice creaminess, a soft side that I searched for in the original in vain.
For me, L'Eau is a super successful all-rounder in warm temperatures, but still has enough depth not to be labeled as a purely one-dimensional fresh scent. It is simply significantly more accessible than its brother, without really being a lightweight! The mix of citrus fruits, mint, and incense I find very successful and is perfectly suitable for both genders, even though it gradually shifts more towards the green-bitter side over a wear time of 2-3 hours, which by the way fits perfectly with the just starting rain and its long-awaited cooling.
The longevity is very good, and here L'Eau can score against Panorama, 5-6 hours go by easily, even if after 2 hours it becomes a bit more than skin-close. But the affordable price allows for regular reapplication very well!
Clear recommendation for fans of this fragrance direction, regardless of (high) summer!
