Montale Herbal Aquatica in plain words

What it smells like, how it wears and who it suits.

What it smells like

Green and cool from the first spray, with sage and mint sharpening the opening. The heart is airy and watery, like sea air over tea leaves, and the base warms up with soft, creamy wood.

How it wears

The perfume community reports long-lasting wear, though some find it moderate, and most find the projection moderate, so it stays fairly close.

When to wear it

Wearers pick it for summer days, with spring also working. It is listed for work, where its clean, green feel is easy to live with.

Who it suits

Suits anyone, man or woman, who likes herbal, marine freshness with a woody base rather than a sweet one. It is calm and clean, so it will not overwhelm an office.
