What does Acqua smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both moderate, so it stays present through the day without being loud. Most voters pick summer and spring, and it is rated mostly for leisure, daily wear and sport. Voters mostly find its character masculine, with some calling it modern.

It opens with rose and aquatic notes for a cool start. In the heart, Provençal lavender, cypress, pine, clary sage and nutmeg add a green, spicy and slightly resinous feel. The base of moss, sandalwood and white musk settles it into a clean, woody finish.
