What does Acqua smell like?

Pear gives the opening a fruity brightness. Toward the heart, lotus and freesia bring a watery floral feel, and the green and sweet tones soften it. Musk in the base leaves a clean, powdery trace.

Longevity and sillage are moderate, though the number of votes is small, so these ratings are tentative. Voters lean toward leisure, daily wear and the office, with some picking it for sport or evenings. It suits anyone wanting a light, uncomplicated scent. Close in profile are The Body Shop Lotus Petal and Rituals Soleil d'Or.
