Fragrance Notes
The first impression, and usually the lightest part of the fragrance. These notes evaporate first, which is how a fragrance is built to open.

Product Details
TL;DR
- Fresh aquatic-green, bergamot and water notes opening
- Longevity: long lasting (small sample)
- Sillage: moderate
- Similar to: Cool Water by Davidoff
- Best for: daytime, spring and summer wear
Waterfall opens with bergamot, water notes and crisp green apple, moving through lavender, orange blossom and geranium, then settling into cedar, ambergris and musk. Waterfall wears as a clean, daytime fragrance, with over half of voters calling its longevity long lasting.
What Does Waterfall Smell Like?
Waterfall opens on a clean, aquatic accord: bergamot and water notes sit alongside clary sage and a crisp green apple, giving a fresh, slightly tart start rather than a sweet or spiced one. The green apple in particular keeps the top from reading as a straightforward marine scent, giving it a slightly fruited edge instead. The middle brings lavender, nutmeg, orange blossom and geranium, softening the freshness with a light floral-herbal warmth without losing the aquatic thread. The base settles into cedar, ambergris, musk and moss, a soft, slightly salted woody-musk finish that keeps the fragrance grounded rather than letting the freshness fade into nothing. Across the three stages it reads as a modern fresh fragrance built around water and green apple rather than citrus alone.
How Does It Develop Through the Day?
The first stretch is dominated by bergamot and green apple, sharp and slightly tart, with the water notes giving an airy, almost damp quality underneath. Within the first hour, lavender and orange blossom move in, rounding the sharper top into a softer, more floral-herbal phase, with geranium adding a touch of green back in. The moss and light musk combination reads as understated rather than heavy, sitting close to skin through most of the later stages of wear. By the drydown, cedar, ambergris and musk take over, and the moss adds a faint earthy note that keeps the finish from reading as purely clean or soapy.
How Long Does It Last, and How Strong Is It?
On a modest voting sample, longevity leans clearly toward long lasting, with a further group calling it moderate — between them accounting for most responses, so most wearers can expect the fragrance to hold for several hours rather than fade quickly. Sillage voting settles mainly on moderate, with a smaller strong-projection group, putting Waterfall closer to a fragrance that stays present at close range than one built to fill a room.
What Season Is It For?
Season voting favours the warmer months, with summer and spring together accounting for most responses and winter and autumn well behind. The aquatic-green opening and light floral heart suit heat and daylight rather than the deep cold, making it a natural warm-weather pick.
Is It for Men or Women?
Waterfall is treated here as a unisex fragrance, in line with both its catalogue listing and its Fragrantica classification. Gender voting on Fragrantica leans toward male wear, but the underlying marketing and classification are unisex, so it is presented as suited to any wearer drawn to fresh, aquatic-green fragrances.
What Is It Similar To?
Waterfall is grouped by Fragrantica's community with Cool Water by Davidoff, one of the reference points for the modern aquatic fragrance category. The comparison sits in the shared water-and-green structure rather than an identical note list, since Waterfall's orange blossom and moss give it a slightly softer, earthier finish.
Who It's For
Waterfall suits anyone who wants a clean, aquatic-green fragrance with real staying power — bergamot and green apple opening onto lavender and orange blossom before a soft cedar-and-musk finish. Its warm-weather lean and long-lasting profile make it well suited to spring and summer daywear, worn as a unisex fragrance.
