WATER (감)

A fresh, bright, distinct citrusy blast. There's much more going on with the fragrance as a whole than what the notes alone listed would convey. The initial notes have more depth than just the initial punch of citrus, something about it is anchored in the middle notes and base, probably the ylang-ylang and mandarin orange, and the hint of cedar. The Pocheon Jasmine, Water's signature Korean ingredient, does cut differently than your average jasmine note in a mainstream fragrance. It is more pungent, like a fresh cut stem blended with the vibrant bergamot and neroli at the opener. The Pocheon Jasmine comes on strong and settles into a beautifully long-lasting, weighty punch of floral freshness with gentle but bitter sourness in the middle notes. The cedar and musk never overtake their place in the background, and to me the middle notes remain prominent hours later. Even some of the top notes seem to stick around late into the day on my skin. It never settles into being just a subtle skin scent, though the sillage is not supposed to be very powerful. I can still smell the strength of the freshness in the middle notes and base well into 6-8 hours of wear on me. Personally I love spraying this on during hot days and enjoy it for hours even in humid summer weather. It is so pleasant and intensively refreshing, like a cool drink. I adore it. Absolutely my favorite entry from Elorea so far. I would recommend this if you like a strong fresh scent with a unique citrus punch. Wonderful as a genderless fragrance, I can recommend it to anyone who thoroughly enjoys the listed notes but wants something all its own.

Oooooh, this is so pretty!! I love this new perfume house! I bought their discovery box via IG and so far, I have tried Fire and Water. Water is wonderfully bright, soft and gentle. It smells feminine to me, personally. Though it can definitely be worn by either gender. I love the burst of freshness at the beginning, it is quite invigorating. But as the scent settles, it transforms into a very gentle aquatic/floral. It isn’t sweet but it has such a tender feeling to it, I absolutely love it!! Maybe it is the Pocheon Jasmin? It’s a Jasmin plant/flower native to South Korea, I believe. It is very very nicely done and I am going to get a full bottle of Water 💦😆😆 Pun intended 💦🌊💧 Personally, I do not detect anything sea-like. This is very fresh, aquatic, gentle, floral and almost-but-not-quite-sweet. Small addendum: This is long lasting! I have now been wearing for several hours and it is still there and very beautiful. At first, I couldn’t remember what this reminded me of but I figured it out!! It reminds me of Water Lily Sun by Aerin! This is no dupe by any means but both of these scents have an aquatic/dewy quality to it that makes them vibe together. I used to own Water Lily Sun a looooong time ago...it’s a beautiful fragrance...it takes me back to my youth 😆💚💚

Opening is like a refreshing yuzu drink, then turns into sweet yuzu candy, dries down very musky and a bit spicy --- kind of reminds me of the smell of wet soil, but in a good way. I like how it's a bit cologne-y, and very unisex. The smell retains an air of "coolness" that is reminiscent of aquatic notes but not quite the same. This is my everyday scent at the moment.

This is a lovely fresh scent with bursting citrus top notes. dries down smooth and soft with a bit of white floral musk. very pretty but also gender-neutral. I share it with my husband and I like it both on myself and on my husband.

This is light, lovely. I much prefer it to Alfred Sung's Shi. It is more complex and elegant. It lasts longer on me by 2 hours.
