The opening reminds me of the tangy nose of a cut-fruit laden white Rioja Sangria (served in an icy cold blue-glass pitcher) that I enjoyed at a fine Spanish restaurant. Woodsy, herbal notes back up the fruit but they don't overwhelm it. The laid back middle notes and drydown keep the fruit alive and both phases hold quietly close to the skin but are definitely not hard to notice and enjoy, particularly as the modest sillage drifts past the wearers nose on a warm, sultry summer evening.

I find Aguq Fresca to be a soapy, tart citrus scent. It isn't bad, but I am rather ambivalent toward it.

Thumbs up with caution. You can get an idea of how great this is by looking at how every other reviewer is waxing poetic, however...

This doesn't seem to have great longevity and therefore could require some over-application to get the job done. The good news is that over-application won't offend anyone.

A pleasant woodsy and citrus fragrance. There is a hint of a medicinal aspect to its notes, but agreeable, nonetheless. It reminds me of herbs set out to dry. Unique and unusual. However, like all of Adolfo Dominguez' fragrances, the longevity is not very good.

Classic fresh Cologne, timeless and refined! Bought it in Sevilla one year ago by the advise in El Corte Inglés: I was searching for 1 MORE Lavanda besides one of my favourites: "Lavanda de Sevilla" and the woman came up with this one - I'm happy I followed her advise. Citrused, can't realy find the Lavender (?), but, hélas, smelling such a masterpiece who realy cares about the "déficit" in Lavender...!!!

fresh blast of citrus and fruits with a tinge of herbs and green notes...something like lime flavored soaps...it does have tht out of shower feel/soapy feel to it. by midnotes the woody notes unveal itself with a touch of cardboard smell and lavender on a base of vetiver and amber...none of the notes are too prominent...every accord is blended to perfection.

Agua Fresca is great. It's delicate, fresh, green and woody on the drydown, but all the while subtle, like a butterfly settling on a cactus flower somewhere in Andalucia during Spring. Resembles Paco Rabanne XS but is actually much nicer; can be bought blind and it won't offend.

Your zephyr carries memories
Of sparkling meadows caressed,
Clear streams traversed.
Sweet Lavender muse,
Now whispering joy unto my Northern heart.

This scent is everything a great summer fresh scent for men must be like: masculine yet misty fresh, soft dry woods and some wild little flowers, like a real spanish countryside, sun and rustic “old world” feel that has an amazing, darker (but not too much) side that dries down in an elegant, old-bookstore-style way that even has an intelligent effect that may be lost on other scents that are on the same category. Pine needles, sand, woods, lights and shadows and early moring and late afternoon sun, come together here. Surprinsingly longlasting and decent - not too great- sillage, this is a winner and I will buy it again. I got the 4oz. box that has a great, simple and heavy sprayer glass bottle that has a very nice wooden top, very rustic and very nice.
