Always after the cucumber
It's not easy being a snake cucumber. When you're crooked and crooked, you're rigorously sorted out. If that's not the case, you get a plastic tube to wear you down and end up in a supermarket carton with a lot of other cucumbers. There one ekes out one's existence in the simple neon light until one is taken along, unpacked and divided. The organically grown cucumber has a small advantage. It can grow as it likes and now, depending on the sales platform, it can celebrate nudism. In short, both cucumbers exist, but the possibility of getting into a perfume may seem attractive. You may be peeled and chopped up, but you have the chance to survive a little longer in olfactory form and you would also get a change of pace, since you will meet companions you would otherwise never have met in your life. All in all there is a win-win situation for the good old snake cucumber.

Refreshingly cool and green is the prelude. In combination with the other top notes of bamboo and lotus leaf, a harmonious picture is created. However, it does not behave as if you are in a bowl of cucumber salad, perhaps that would be a little too profane. In the process the lily of the valley comes to the fore in a flowery and sweetish way and that is somehow strangely interesting, then one is not averse to the smell of the little bell. Freesia and lime blossom remain rather delicate and reserved in the background. In all this accumulation of notes, the cucumber remains the main protagonist and exudes its fresh green character right up to the finish. Musks and woods provide a supporting base, but are not very present themselves. The shelf life is surprisingly good; the Sillage quite tame.
In summary, Cucumber is a clean and fresh product with a gentle aquatic character. Simple and uncomplicated. Cucumber good.

refreshing cucumber water
A Monday with 30° daytime temperature, a bit too humid in the evening and a soccer game that made me cheer and groan! What were my "Spanish friends" actually thinking about it?
So another walk under the shower was necessary and the subsequent question will be no stranger to anyone here: Which fragrance to the evening?

Still heated and thirsty, it suddenly occurs to me, "You still have the cucumber water!"
Yes, it was where I suspected it to be, the big bottling and, "Oh, it's nice and fresh and aromatically cooling!", I immediately thought!

Marc Jacobs offers here a pure freshness kick: the high summer is celebrated with coolness and lightness; intelligently composed and truly not standardized!
Of course, again, not a fragrance for traditionalists, but friendly and in a way yet refined; paints "Cucumber" yet very beautiful pictures in bright and at the same time juicy green tones.

"Cucumber" is a pure cucumber scent; this green juicy crooked or straight field and garden fruit dominates this fragrance picture from beginning to end.
Tart freshness of bamboo and lotus prettify this fragrant cucumber freshness pleasantly; as an alternative, freshly cut grass would also have been very suitable.
The main thing is that it's green and refreshing!
This illusion of a cool evening garden after a hot day, is enhanced by the clever choice of floral scents:
The lime trees are in bloom, generously exuding their rich aroma; lily of the valley and freesia smile at each other, also playing in the garden concert, adding more bright dots of scent to the fresh greenery!
So far, "Cucumber" is like a refreshing shower; a pleasantly cool snack on a shady patio, but that's not enough; there has to be some base, after all, or this scent-freshener will fly away like a green-and-white balloon.
So bright, native woods (certainly nothing exotic-strenuous, but rather white birch) and a touch of musk come into play.
Not too much, not too sensual-warm: that would not fit here.
More than aromatic freshness is not required here.

"Cucumber" lives from its simplicity, its down-to-earth, slightly peasant freshness, completely without frills and ballyhoo.
Simple, bright fragrance tones that do not burden, but refresh and delight, were woven here into an entertaining fragrance web.
Invigorating green with lots of aroma and a not small pinch of humor is the so simple sounding recipe for a fragrance that is unlikely to find its equal so quickly.

I like this so refreshingly fragrant creature; the memory of seemingly endless summer evenings with friends, light food and an appropriately sparkling, not too old wine, rippling conversations and lots of relaxed laughter.
Marc Jacobs "Cucumber" just gives me an all-around summer feeling!
Simply this lightness of being!

You cucumber...
Let's start with one thing! I like that one!!
Today we have the hottest day of summer in Mainz... so far. Between 39 and 40 degrees. Actually, you can only watch the day survive. Every move is too much. Nevertheless, I dared to get out and had to think hard about which scent to put on at all in this heat.
Sure, the Splashes don't really convince with endurance, but today they are the perfect companion.
I also love the smell of freshly cut cucumbers, so from those in the garden, not the cut-resistant water from the supermarket:)
It is slightly sweet, but totally fresh and carefree.
For a long time he stood around unnoticed in the corner..., but if it remains so hot, you will accompany me again, Mr. Jacobs:)
And your performance isn't that bad on my skin. So "ey du Gurke can also be a compliment.
So, to a happy sweating, dear perfumas and perfumos!:)

Summer perfume wanted
Summer is coming closer and closer. So, heavy fragrances off into the basket, fresh, light fragrances come back to the front row. Today I test Cucumber. First whiff...yuck.... Cucumber...do I want to smell like that? Clearly no!!! Ok, not so impatient. Let's wait a bit. Sniff my wrist again.... Aha, bamboo and flower meadow. Much better. Reminds me of a perfume I smelled before.... Mush mush... Aaaaahhh: Bamboo Gucchi. Well, it's not a must-have fragrance, but it's certainly a fresh and light companion in hot temperatures. I will certainly test it again...

An attempt at seduction
At the beginning it tries to convince with a freshness kick.
A seduction attempt what later disappoints the expectations something.

After a certain time, it is unfortunately superficial and synthetic green. A mixture of not original melon and cucumber.

A breeze of freshness is always present but not convinced. It has no depth and awakens no emotions.

Superficial noses might like it but a natural cucumber it is not.
Scent twin; Kenneth Cole-Reaction, Dove-go Fresh Cucumber Deospray.
