Agua Fresca Deodorant Spray 150ml
Nobody buys Adolfo Domínguez Agua Fresca Deodorant Spray 150ml for the perfumery, but the fact that it carries a serious composition rather than a generic scent is what makes it worth choosing. This is a deodorant. It should keep you dry and it should not clash with what you are wearing, and those are the only fair tests of it. The scent it holds is the Agua Fresca accord, the house composition rather than something run up for the grooming shelf. Lavender and rosemary give it a clean herbal character, juniper berry a cool resinous bite, coriander a dry spiced edge, petitgrain and clary sage a green bitterness, and mandarin orange with bergamot the citrus over the top of them. Beneath all that sit oakmoss, pine, sandalwood, vetiver, patchouli and musk, which give it the slightly bitter, resinous character people recognise even when they cannot name it.
In a spray deodorant all of that is scaled right back. You notice the citrus and herbs for a few minutes and then it becomes a quiet background that supports the eau de toilette instead of competing with it. A short burst per underarm on clean dry skin is the whole technique, and the can will last a long time at that rate. Skip it straight after shaving, as alcohol based sprays sting broken skin. Otherwise it is a sensible and cheap addition for anybody who is already committed to the fragrance itself.
The maker is a Spanish fashion house, trading since 1976 and descended from a family tailoring firm that opened in Ourense in 1950. A scent bearing the founder's name appeared in 1990, the first such thing in Spain, and Agua Fresca is the range the company considers its lasting contribution to how Spain smells.
