Eau Papaguena
by Elisire
Eau Papaguena is a bright, clean, and refreshing green citrus fragrance that strikes a delicate balance between herbal freshness and warm floral nuances. The top notes of bergamot, basil, tarragon, and spicy mint give it a vibrant, aromatic edge that feels both lively and grounded. It unfolds into a radiant white floral heart, enhanced by a crisp, almost soapy orange blossom that avoids sweetness in favor of a dry, citrus-kissed elegance. The base features dry, earthy vetiver and cypress, creating a subtle, woody warmth that lingers without overwhelming. This scent has moderate sillage and excellent longevity, with many noting it stays present for hours even on first spray, making it ideal for warm weather and daytime wear. Its fresh, unisex character makes it accessible and appealing across genders, with strong summer appeal.
