What does Acquasala smell like?

Longevity is good and sillage moderate, so it stays close without overwhelming a room. Most voters pick summer and spring, and daily, leisure and office wear lead the occasions. Votes for masculine and feminine are close, so it reads as open to both.

The top holds algae, neroli, black pepper and nutmeg, with elemi resin and caraway adding a spicy, green edge. In the heart, frankincense, myrrh and iris bring a calm, resinous feel. The base of oakmoss, patchouli, amber and musk settles it into a soft, woody finish. YouFirst Spices Bouquet and Davidoff Cool Water (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.
