FastorStebenSInce the quest for
Elements Aqua Eau de Toilette is a pickle, I'll try to go for it the other way around.
WHat fragrances would you suggest that has
- fresh/minty/fruity/slightly aquatic opening top
- aromatic/green/flowery heart
- fougere/coumarine/subtle vanilla base
My first thought was ...
Cool Water Eau de Toilette
^ It gives you the mint, green and aquatic notes you are searching for. However, it is missing the base notes of coumarine / vanilla. Of course, classic fougere fragrances contain coumarine, but with the lavender and oakmoss in Cool Water, I'd classify it as an aromatic fougere.
Yes, I have Cool Water. Great classic. But it is nowhere near that drydown with its strict masculine soapy green moss. It has a very prominent rosemary note too which does not match with elements aqua.
never tried directly mixing oils on a Cool water base though. Might do that. Coumarine, clove and geranium for example.
