What does Acqua della Regina / Acqua di Santa Maria Novella smell like?

The top is neroli, petitgrain and Italian citrus fruits, giving a fresh, green and floral opening. In the heart, clove, rosemary and lavender add a spicy, herbal edge. Musk in the base softens everything as it dries down.

Longevity and sillage are both rated weak, so it stays close to the skin and light. Most voters pick summer and spring, and daily wear, leisure and the office lead the occasions. Votes for masculine and feminine are almost level, with a strong classic streak. Lorenzo Villoresi Acqua di Colonia and Nicolaï Cap Néroli have a close profile.
