What does Acqua Santa smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin. Most voters pick spring and summer, with autumn close behind, and leisure and daily wear lead the occasions. Nearly half of voters call it feminine.

It opens fruity and lightly spicy, with blackcurrant, bergamot and coriander. The heart turns powdery and floral through jasmine, rose and lily of the valley. In the base, tonka bean, caramel and musk sweeten it, while cedarwood adds a dry woody backbone.
