Green and white giant
At the beginning of the nineties there was once a TV commercial for a well-known detergent, in which at the end there was a mile-long clothesline with bright white laundry on a huge green meadow. Exactly this association I had after the first short alcoholic-medical citrus opening was gone.
On a spring morning, I walk along the clothesline with the freshly washed clothes on this still dewy meadow, take a deep breath and smell the scent of the damp meadow herbs and the freshness of the clean laundry. I feel fresh, clean, full of energy and feel like a walk through woods and meadows on this wonderful day.
To me it's a clean, slightly green lavender scent. A little soapy, a little old-school but not old-fashioned. The herbs and woods probably provide the naturalness and the "green" in this round composition.
It is difficult for me to smell out individual components. In the beginning lemon and bergamot - yes. Later lavender, herbs and moss - ok. But spices should be in there too? Cinnamon and cardamom? And woods? Patchouli, sandalwood, cedar? I don't think so.
What I perceive is a fresh, elegant and yet somehow nature-loving, reserved but still very interesting masculine scent.
At the beginning (after the "citrus kick") and only when smelling directly on the wrist I could still perceive something slightly medical, or let's say "naturopathic". Camomile tea, herbal tea mixture, fennel or something along those lines. Maybe it's artemisia.
I also thought at first that the scent had little projection. But it's not. It's rather one of those candidates that is relatively unobtrusive directly on the skin, but creates a light, somehow ethereal scent taura around the wearer. One gets such a pleasantly complex, but hardly tangible "breeze" into the nose for a short time, wants more immediately, rushes with his olfactory organ onto the sprayed body part, but does not get what this "breeze" promised. One could actually call such scents 3D scents. They only reach their full potential in the spatial spread, in the aura or, depending on the dosage, possibly also cloud, around the carrier.
Here I also do not know exactly whether such a thing is intended and high perfumer's art, or rather coincidence, or whether it has to do with the quality of the ingredients used.
I, for one, find this effect ingenious and the scent anyway. This is an absolute perennial - except perhaps in winter - but it doesn't seem boring or even cheap, and that as a blind purchase on the net at an almost embarrassingly low price.
I'm happy.

Grandpa's shaving soap or barbershop?
Shaving soap? Barbershop one could also say to this note.
I find the scent clean and soapy and a bit woody and tart. Kind of oldscool, but also kind of good.
I have tested all four fragrances of the series, this one is by far the best, because it is synthetic and stands out completely from the drugstore fragrance. He really has zero sweetness. Silage's like this, bark's okay, four, five hours in. In the end only a diffuse synthetic wood base remains. Until then, however, I found him amazingly good.
Most noses of the target audience will him
but probably dismiss it as opaduft and let it go

Aquatic remains aquatic remains aquatic remains aquatic
At first I thought it resembled some drugstore smell I got as a gift (believe something from David Beckham or something). But after a while, his class shows. First of all in the fact that after a few hours it is still there at all, and in addition well perceptible. And that I can hardly sniff out anything synthetic here. Really well done. One is surrounded by a very transparent and restrained fresh lavender-mint aura. And if you (almost) want to smell like a fresh shower all day long, you are sure to make a good choice and finally also a good value for money.
But Aquat remains Aquat. As with most of these fragrances, I lack a certain depth here, something interesting that animates to smell again. In my opinion, these fragrances are not suitable at all to underline one's own individuality. So according to the motto: I want to smell good, but I don't want to attract attention, let alone be addressed for my fragrance. The only exception I have come across here so far is Aqva Amara from Bvlgari. He's really great and he's got this certain "let me smell something again" thing. But that is another topic, also fragrance-technically, because that is for me already no more pure Aquate.
So: This is a really well made, natural, very fresh and long-lasting but inconspicuous clean scent, which is already very cheap to have online at the moment. Don't growl. Don't bite. Doesn't even want to play...
