With this Acqua Colonia, it really was love at first spray for me.
When spraying on eau de cologne, the first 10 seconds are usually very alcoholic, and you also have to go through that with Lychee & White Mint. But then the cooling mint scent is there immediately. Especially great in midsummer. It's simply wonderfully refreshing. It is quickly joined by a fruity, slightly tart lychee. But without taking the place of the mint. The actual freshness kick lasts about 10 minutes. Then, in combination, the mint and lychee remain fresh for quite a long time for a cologne. Close to the body, but really very pleasant. For me personally, the fragrance lasts up to four hours in the body phase. The perfume is also great for cooling down after a shower before you have to somehow survive the night in the heat on tropical nights. The very sophisticated alliance of the two fragrances makes me feel very comfortable with it.
It's a good thing that the Lychee & White Mint is not a limited edition. There's a chance that it will stay with me for longer. I still miss the Acqua Colonia Cotton & Almond for spring and fall.

I've been using this fragrance for 3 years now, whenever it's hot and humid. Which is often the case here on the Upper Rhine in summer.
The Fresh Splash starts off alcoholic. You have to wait about 30 seconds for a fruity, sweet aroma to take over from the alcohol.
In the top note, I find that it smells very similar to L'Imperatrice. In a weaker form, but clearly recognizable. (Perhaps due to the melon in the top note)
Then it goes in a different direction.
After 5 - 10 minutes, the fruits fade and the fragrance becomes aquatic, slightly floral and retains its clear watery note until the end. The ooze in this fragrance is not powdery, but clear, invigorating and delicately creamy. The musk and woods in the base carry the wateriness and clarity through this EDT for about 4 hours. Then it is barely perceptible. For a summer EDT, that's absolutely fine. I also like to spray it on when it's hot. I think it's great that the fragrance is not only briefly refreshing, but that the fresh feeling lasts for 2-4 hours. For me, this is one of the really good drugstore fragrances.

I have the MOY once in the old bottle and once in the new plain container. Since then, the fragrance seems more modern. But the content is still exactly the same.
Aquatic notes are usually a problem on my skin. I was lucky with this fragrance. For me, it starts fresh, minimally fruity and then has a refreshingly watery note. This lasts throughout the entire fragrance. About 20 minutes after spraying it on, cedar and sandalwood slowly join in. I mainly notice the cedar here. The fragrance itself is very mature. Despite the aquatic notes and the cedar, which I don't like in every fragrance, MOY is very wearable. Unobtrusively refreshing, it accompanies you through everyday life. Especially in summer, I find this perfume very soothing due to its persistent watery note. It lasts a good 5 hours thanks to the woods in the base. I don't know of any perfume in the drugstore sector that is similar to this one. For me personally, the subtle incense note even gives it something noble. It definitely smells more expensive than it is. 50 ml was always available for under €10. Unfortunately, I haven't seen a bottle of it in the drugstores this year. I really hope that this understated fragrance is still being produced.

I don't even know how to describe it now, but the Clean Skin reminds me of glass cleaner at first. I don't mean that in a negative way. I use a certain glass cleaner for mirrors and glass surfaces that smells almost exactly like the start of Skin to me. I think this is due to the flowers in combination with a really strong alcoholic start. After 10 to 15 minutes, this scent is only slightly perceptible on the skin and the fragrance transforms over the course of an hour into the fresh, body-like skin scent described by many here.
On the test strip, the skin still smells like the cleanser to me. But luckily I wear perfume on my skin and not on the test strip.
Here on the wrist, you get a fresh, somewhat aquatic, slightly sweet scent with a little floral note.
It then becomes sweeter and creamier in the base. However, it still remains clean. It lasts for 6 hours on me and keeps sending out subtle scents of freshly washed and creamed skin. Pleasant to wear. Certainly doesn't bother anyone. Personally, the skin is too unspectacular for me. But it's certainly worth a sniff for delicate and sensitive noses.

As I am more of a friend of delicate and/or fresh fragrances, the bottle of Tender White immediately appealed to me. It is reminiscent of an ice cube and seems as if the fragrance would help to cool you down in summer. When I spray it on, I briefly notice fruity notes. Then it goes very quickly in a clean - clean direction. Creamy and with a peppery undertone. A slightly tart fragrance note joins in. I also assume that it comes from hawthorn. That makes it more interesting than many other creamy drugstore fragrances. It lasts about 4 hours on me with a rather pale sillage close to the body. I have to spray a lot. Towards the end, the perfume is just nice and creamy and fresh. Fortunately, the vanilla does not pull the fragrance in a sweet direction. Musk and iris counteract this well.
I find Tender White very suitable for spring and summer.
