What does Essenza di un'Isola - Acqua smell like?

The top opens with a salty, citrusy freshness; in the heart, myrtle, jasmine and kelp give it a floral, aquatic character. The base of myrtle berry, moss and cedarwood settles it onto a woody, lightly sweet ground. Fresh and green qualities lead, with a creamy softness in the background.

Voters find its longevity strong and its sillage good, though the number of votes is small, so these impressions are tentative. It wears comfortably on anyone, men and women alike.
