Just a FRESH cucumber scent + a little bit of alcohol, and it lasted about 10 minutes on my skin, NOT enough time for me to really detect anything else in the note pyramid. I felt that the actual scent did not have THAT many notes as listed in here (freesia, lotus…).
It is not bad, but it is too simple, and NOT worth to buy at full price as it is also very WEAK.
I am not missing this one at all. The Pear Splash, however is more interesting and lasts much longer.

This perfume was a blind buy for me online at a price worth taking a risk. I bought Marc Jacobs Cucumber and Pears. I like both perfumes and wear them together. This cucumber scent is fresh, clean and refreshing perfect for spring days. I notice it gives me a mood boost while wearing it. I know it has other notes but on my skin it smells like juicy fresh cut cucumbers only from start to finish.i prefer it to be a simple scent and highly recommend it to anyone wanting a fresh cucumber scent.(Mom used to grow cucumbers in her garden and make a lot of cucumber dishes so this brings back memories of her.)

It’s like a high grade quality version of a Bath and Body Works cucumber spray. Really awesome. Doesn’t come off as cheap at all!
If you’re someone with an arsenal of “after-bath” fragrances, know Cucumber will fit right in. It’s perfect when you just want something fresh, clean and easy, not super-sophisticated or anything like that. I can’t wait to give it a go when summer gets here!
Highly recommended. And surprisingly it lasts! Full sized bottles are reasonably priced.

Honestly not sure how I feel about this fragrance. I can really smell the freesia in the scent. But the cucumber and catus flower are more noticeable. It kinda reminds me of a cleaning product, but not in a bad way. It’s certainly a long lasting fragrance and a little definitely goes a long way. Very fresh and ideal for spring summer and agreed it’s unisex. The packaging and bottle are certainly very masculine for Marc Jacobs.
Not sure if this is one I’ll end up keeping or giving away as brought on a whim without a tester as I love the Jo Malone Earle Grey and Cucumber fragrance.

tried the sample yesterday. Not crazy about it. the palette in Fragrantica looks quite rich, but for it smelled very simple and cheap.

In my opinion the best of the Marc Jacobs 2016 splash colognes.
Nothing groundbreaking of course but fresh,simple and clean.
The longest lasting on my skin.
Yes it becomes a skin scent very quickly but it lasts in excess of 5 hours.
Might be perfect for spring and summer when you want to feel fresh without the citrus or aquatic overload.

It’s like a fresh / clean soothing scented powder for all senses..Inoffencive and discreet, a love for me at first smell.. Soft, clean/fresh/soapy essence while quite sweet also, but not overdone, and so light .. it reminds me of CK one issues but in a slightly more elegant / niche way; even if it tends to sound more fem, it has its stability on unisex category IMO. Even if it would smell (for many ppl) as a ‘pretty simple’ deo from the grossery store i still love it! I feel some magic with it.
