What does Acqua di Gioia Essenza smell like?

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and leisure, daily wear and the office come up most often. Most see it as feminine, and some as modern.

It opens with lemon, mint and pink pepper, a fresh, citrusy and lightly spicy start. Jasmine in the heart adds a soft floral touch, while aquatic and green accords keep it airy. The base of cashmeran, cedarwood and sugar settles into a woody ground with a light sweetness. Giorgio Armani Acqua di Gioia (Eau de Parfum) and Zara Lisboa have a close profile.
