Then, the freshness becomes more aromatic with the presence of sage, coriander and geranium. The water lily, for its part, reinforces the aquatic aspect of the composition. The base is woody, vigorous and deep with accords of Indian sandalwood, cypress wood, vetiver, white musks… An unexpected aquatic woody note,
