There is a slight perfumery smell to this water.  I realize you can use micellar water to clean your face and nothing else, I always feel like I am still dirty when I finish with micellar cleansing water.  It is not drying to the skin.  The slight perfume smell is not overpowering, it fades quickly.  This is certainly okay for sensitive skin.  This is great on nights when you are so tired washing your face seems like far too much work.  The only thing I don't like is that always have that dirty feeling afterward, I have tried cotton balls for administering, cotton pads, and a small face washcloth - I just feel grimes yet, but that is not the fault of the product, so I am not knocking off stars for my own tastes and preference.
