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.
Persistence

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.
Sillage

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 smell is quite fresh and watery. Mostly bamboo and water lily are felt, but there's also a slight powderiness and bright floral notes. Overall, the scent leaves a pleasant impression, though not without its flaws

This scent is just watery and green, like I'm stuck in a swamp. The water lilies here, for me, are too much - it feels like I've landed in some dilapidated backwater. Even the green bamboo doesn't save the situation, it only makes it worse. Honestly, I don't understand how anyone can wear this

My mom had this scent in the early 2000s. It gave a feeling of freshness, like morning rain on green grass. Definitely worth trying again. It's a shame it was discontinued, I'm sure it would still be in demand today. It's much more interesting than Arden's usual green tea

The scent is really light and fresh, you can clearly smell bamboo, sandalwood, and water lily. It's so green, juicy, and with a slight herbal tint. Although it's not entirely my cup of tea, it still deserves attention!!!

I never perceived this perfume as aquatic. Although there's indeed freshness in it, perhaps thanks to green bamboo or lotus - I don't remember exactly. For me, it's more herbaceous and green, rather than aquatic. There was no sweetness in it either, not even a hint. I only sensed washed green leaves and young grass. I used to really like it, and I decided to buy it again to refresh my memories. But, unfortunately, I found out it's been discontinued. I have a drop left in the bottle, and now I'm saving it, too bad I'll have to finish it soon

How could they do that? Discontinue such a beauty! Now, with this unbearable heat, I miss this scent with longing every day. Finding a decent replacement for it is simply impossible. I can't find anything that matches both in price and quality. It was true freshness! Oh, Yves Rocher… (((

This perfume evokes strange feelings in me. On the one hand, it's genuinely fresh, like freshly mown grass by a lake. But in stuffy cities, when you close your eyes and inhale it, there's a feeling that all the noise and hustle disappear somewhere. A summer scent that seems to bring peace and a connection to nature, but at the same time, I can't quite figure out if I like it or not 🤔
