SpicyWhat does Acqua Essenziale Colonia smell like?
Its longevity and sillage are moderate. It leans towards daily, leisure and office wear, with few votes for evening or night out. Most voters read it as masculine, and some call it classic.
The top opens with aquatic notes, bergamot and coriander. The heart brings orange blossom, clary sage and lavender, giving a green, floral middle. The base of Haitian vetiver, tonka bean and ambroxan settles it into a woody, slightly sweet finish. Azzaro Azzaro Sport and Al Haramain Étoiles Silver have a close profile.
