    Real talk

    This is Japanese green at its most intentional. Not a statement fragrance, more like a considered observation. DI SER's natural-only formulation means the yuzu stays translucent, never sweet.Kazehikaru
    Most aquatics smell like a pool or the ocean. Mizu smells like the moment before you jump in, anticipation, cold stone, clarity. Shinohara built this from yuzu and mint instead of synthetics.Mizu
