Anyone know of a perfume that has the scent of cucumber?

Thanks!

I'll be interested in the answers to this too. I always thought Issey Miyake L'Eau d'Issey was very cucumbery but perhaps there are others that are even more so.

Elizabeth Arden green tea and cucumber comes to mind and jo malone earl grey and cucumber I think it is

I did have a scent with a cucumber note but I can't remember which one!

Mark Jacobs did an amazing Cucumber cologne that was so lovely. I really regret not buying it! The Elizabeth Arden Green Tea and Cucumber got my hopes up but I think there's a bit of a urine-like smell that lingers with those green tea scents...

Many years ago I was given a bottle of Aqua di Gio by a beau, it always reminded me of cucumbers. It must have gone up a lot in price, I'm sure he only paid about £25/£30 for it, but it was 30 years ago.

One of the dupe companies like Noted Aromas may do a version?

Of course, I've had the Jo Malone one. Thank you.

I'm interested in the Elizabeth Arden oneSmile

I have the Jo Malone Earl Grey & Cucumber. I went off cucumber in my first pregnancy and haven't been able to wear it since. It's fairly cucumber-y . . .

Brilliant! Am at Heathrow now. Maybe I'll find it here.

You can buy fragrance oil such as this

https://www.craftastik.co.uk/products/cucumber-melon-fragrance-oil?pos=2&&sid=c80114d5b&ss=r

You add it to an un perfumed lotion and use as a body lotion or hand lotion and the fragrance is as strong and lasting as a perfume.

I buy different fragrance oils and add to a spray bottle of water and use as a hair fragrance. The village is great and very long lasting.

The Marc Jacobs one was Cucumber Splash, I think.

Phaedon L'Eau de Concombre is worth a sniff, although it's more of a blend with florals (freesia-heavy) and cedarwood in the drydown.

My favourite "just cucumber" scent is Elizabeth W Cucumber, which is available as an Eau de Parfum and as an oil, but I think it is hard to find now outside of the USA.

Sunflowers has got a melon/ cucumber smell and cheap to buy

That's amazing. An oil would be great as they last so much longer. Thanks.

I'll see if the Marc Jacobs is still available. Thank you.
