Who Wears It
The story behind the bottle.
Marc Jacobs Cucumber Splash 2016, crafted by perfumer Mathieu Nardin, is an embodiment of freshness and lightness. The fragrance opens with a crisp cucumber note, which is balanced by the green vibrancy of bamboo and lotus leaf. This aquatic and ozonic opening gives way to a heart of cactus flower and linden blossom, adding a touch of floral sweetness. The base notes of white woods and musk ensure a subtle warmth that never overwhelms.
Apply this fragrance in light sprays — it blooms quickly on the skin. The ozonic top notes dissipate within an hour, but the delicate white woods and musk base linger well into the evening.
