Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.

Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.

Complexity and depth
The complexity of a fragrance is the number and variety of notes that create a unique composition. A complex fragrance contains many different notes that reveal themselves on the skin. The depth of a fragrance is the richness and intensity of the fragrance.

Cucumber aquatic - it's just a nightmare. The smell is too sharp and damp, clearly more suitable for men. There's no femininity in it, just cold moisture. I don't understand how anyone can wear this
3/5

This lotion reminds me of cucumbers, but not in a good way. The scent is completely ordinary, evokes no emotions, just boredom 😔
4/5

This scent has now become one of my wardrobe favorites! You can spray it on yourself from head to toe. The smell of fresh lemon, as if straight from the fridge, fills you with joy. It brings so many positive emotions, like never before! 🍋

Cucumber-scented lotion. I completely agree with this opinion. The fragrance is too sharp, watery, and green. It didn't impress me at all, feeling like something banal and angular. Plus, the longevity leaves much to be desired
3/5

Lemonade with cucumber, lime, and a bit of rosemary with mint. A fresh scent, but with a slight bitterness that adds interest. An alcoholic nuance is perceptible, but it's not at all intrusive. Overall, a pleasant and unobtrusive scent for summertime )

I don't get how this One Summer differs from the 2009 version? It feels like it's all the same: cucumbers, saltiness with sweet apple, and the citruses are too sharp. For me, it's not very pleasant. Maybe some damp wood appeared. Overall, a fresh scent with watery notes. Don't buy it without testing!
3/5

The fragrance isn't bad, of course, but I usually steer clear of luxury brands. I decided to take a risk and try it, and I must admit, the bottle is really attractive. But the scent itself... it's light, yes, but there's still some chemical note in it, though not too intrusive. The citruses are bright, intense, but the refreshment isn't all that impressive. Overall, I expected more ))
