Water Excel - 1961

I haven’t sampled the original, so can not comment on it’s similarity. I purchased the oil which is clear in colour. I get a gentle smell of white flowers on application, similar to walking past a florist. Its very subtle, so I recommend application to clothes as well as skin. The projection is moderate to low and longevity with application to neck and clothes is half a day for me. It may last longer, but I cannot smell it as the wearer. This one is soft, subtle and pleasant. Fine for the office, and flexible. I’m ok wearing it as a man, but it does lean feminine. If you like something with a bit more punch give this a pass. I will let the oil sit and retry again few months later, and see how it goes.

Fresh and clean, and a very long-lasting fragrance.

Love it...unisex.. fresh and complex at the same time.very close to original. Tried the oil

This is a very fresh lemon scent with floral however for me it is more feminine and so i gave it to my mother... She loves it and will use it for the summer.

This is an excellent scent. Light and airy, but last forever. This is completely unisex and so well-done. I will be getting another bottle soon!

Great scent on its own. Citrus has been toned down a bit and a bit more sharp compared to original. About an 85% match. Still recommended though. Mass appealing with great wearability.

My girlfriend loves this one – very seducing – not very masculine

Beautifully blended citrus and floral notes create a slightly aquatic accord that I could unreservedly recommend to absolutely everyone, for all seasons, all occasions and any time of day. Stunning.
