Aqua Velva Classic Ice Blue Williams 1935

Just looking at the bottle and feeling the material it's made of, one might believe it's some horrifically sharp mouthwash, where you'd want to shout "Fire!!" when swirling a sip around your tongue, mouth, and palate.
But that's a big misconception about the CONTENT!
This is actually a very friendly companion, a lovely fragrance. Although it's an "After Shave," that doesn't matter at all!
It smells like a good Eau de Toilette. Very fresh accents at the beginning, cheerful green mint, not like "Wrigley's Spearmint" gum. But like the leaves of the aromatic and medicinal plant when you lightly rub them between your fingers. Numerous citrus notes accompany and support the friendly freshness. A hint of lavender is also present. A bright green-blue, if the fragrance's opening had a color. A slight floral touch later accompanies the fresh-herbaceous blend, without being overbearing or trying to be "fussy." Harmony in light, like a sunny day with a blue sky and pleasant warmth on a large meadow, with a lake nearby.
Slowly, woody aromas begin to creep in, the air gradually becoming a bit more humid, coming from the lake, and these accents become noticeable in the fragrance as well. A forest now unfolds before me, whose slightly darker, very pleasant scents mix with the fresh-moist turquoise-green fragrances. Ferns grow at the edge of the lake near the forest. And a hint of cool and light slightly smoky scents now wafts over from the place. Like fine incense sticks. And they blend with those of the "Forest by the Lake"!
