Custo Barcelona L’Eau is supposed to be a lighter version of the original Custo Barcelona fragrance that came out in 2008. The same “nose”, Alberto Morillas, developed both. For CB L’Eau, the top notes are bergamot, grapefruit and galbanum. Heart notes are peony, jasmine and “exotic fruits.” Base notes are musk, tonka bean, woody notes. It smells very European to me but not French. Catalan, perhaps! Definitely a citrusy floral with woody undertones: bright, cheerful, feminine, warm. A little offbeat and funky, like the fashions of Custo Barcelona, but like them also well within the mainstream.
CB L’Eau starts off bright and juicy, but the galbanum top note gives it a green, herbal astringency that cuts the sweetness of the citrus notes and balances them. It slowly blossoms into a light, fruity floral — more flowers than fruits, which I like. This part of its progression matches the bright pink of the peony notes and the pretty bottle with its light silver metallic inset and asymmetrical cap.
The last phase of CB L’Eau is lightly musky, with sweetness from the tonka bean and dryness from the woody notes. I can still smell the base notes on my wrist ten hours after first spraying myself. I like this fragrance a lot! It wouldn’t be an everyday choice for me, but it reminds me of the playful side of Barcelona itself, all feminine curves and bright Gaudi-esque colors bathed in sunlight. This fragrance isn’t taking itself too seriously and we shouldn’t either. Just have fun with it!
