The story goes that these fresh waters popular among both men and women were invented by the Italian Giovanni Paolo Feminis in Cologne.
These refreshingly fragrant alcoholic lotions, made from herbs and citrus fruits such as lemon, bergamot and mandarin, were more of a medicine than a refined fragrance at the time. This miraculous water was used for its tonic effects.
Today, they are faceted with woody and musky notes to give us more depth, contrast and hold.
What does juniper berry smell like?
Juniper berries smell like a gin tonic! No wonder, as this spirit drink is flavoured with these berries. Here, it gives the creation a woody, fresh, resinous vibe and a floral touch. The perfumer used an overdose of juniper berries to offer a “Gin” facet to this fresh citrus cocktail.
What does mandarin bring?
We all know that juicy, sweet, tangy smell when peeling a mandarin! It brings a lot of freshness and a sparkling facet. In 004, it allows to revisit the structure of the historical cologne. Here the bergamot is replaced by a zest of mandarin. A modern twist!
What type of musk is used?
In 004, the perfumer uses white musks that bring roundness and body to the composition, a cocooning touch. Not to be confused with “tonkin musks”, which smell like fur but are no longer used. These new types of musks, called “white musks” offer clean sheets and cotton scents—nothing to do with the animal facet of their Tonkinese cousin.
