What does Acqua di Orta smell like?

It opens with cardamom, osmanthus and bergamot, then moves into a floral heart of tea, lily, rose and violet. White musk and oakmoss settle underneath, keeping it creamy and green.

Longevity and sillage are moderate, so it stays close to the skin rather than announcing itself. Voters place it mostly in leisure, business and daytime wear, and they read it as sitting between masculine and feminine. Acqua di Parma Note di Colonia I and Zara Majestic Silver have a close profile.
