It's meant to be an olfactory journey that combines visual, tactile, and aromatic sensations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFragrance Family and Notes:\u003c\/b\u003e This fragrance is typically classified as a \u003cb\u003eFruity Woody\u003c\/b\u003e or \u003cb\u003eFloral Aquatic\u003c\/b\u003e with a distinct green character.
