Water

Water from the French house Elementals, released in 2018, is a spicy green scent with a salty, herbal character. Spicy and green impressions are shared by everyone who describes it, and about half also find it fresh, floral, aromatic or amber-like.

Black pepper gives the opening a sharp, dry bite, cut through with lavender and clary sage, which bring a clean, slightly camphorous herbal freshness. Wormwood and angelica add a bitter, green, almost medicinal edge that makes the scent feel bracing rather than soft. Seaweed and ambergris run underneath, giving a salty, mineral, sea-air quality, and violet adds a quiet, powdery floral touch that softens the whole.

Water is worn by anyone. Its bitter-green freshness suits daytime wear and warmer months, and it is a natural fit for someone who likes aromatic, coastal scents and finds most fresh fragrances too sweet or too simple.
