What does Paura dell'Acqua smell like?
Ginger and mandarin petitgrain give it a bright, lightly spiced start. In the heart, tuberose absolute, rose absolute and Egyptian jasmine absolute add a floral weight. The base of tonka bean absolute, cistus and amber sweetens everything and settles into an oriental warmth.
Voters rate its longevity and sillage as good, though the number of votes is small. It sits comfortably on men and women alike, neither heavy nor too light.
