Tabacco e Bergamotto di Taormina / Tobacco and Bergamot from Taormina

Acque di Italia · 2015

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Acque di Italia Tabacco e Bergamotto di Taormina / Tobacco and Bergamot from Taormina pairs fresh citrus with a sweet, spicy tobacco note, and is made for men. Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate, so it stays noticeable up close without filling a room. Most voters pick spring and fall, though winter has a fair share too. Leisure, daily wear and the office are the most named occasions. Voters lean masculine on character, with a sizeable feminine vote as well. Bergamot and lemon open with a bright citrus lift. Toward the heart, tobacco leaf and cinnamon add a sweet, spicy warmth. The base of cashmeran, woody notes, amber, musk and vanilla settles into a powdery, creamy, resinous finish. Tiziana Terenzi Tyl and Alexandre.J Le Royal have a close profile.

Zagara di Sicilia / Zagara of Sicili

7.6

Acque di Italia

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Acque di Italia Zagara di Sicilia / Zagara of Sicili is a fresh, citrus-led unisex scent built around mandarin orange, bergamot and orange blossom. It opens with mandarin orange, bergamot and green lemon in a bright citrus layer, softened by floral notes. The heart adds a green, spicy edge through lavender, rosemary, clary sage and orange blossom. The base of vetiver, patchouli, cedarwood and sandalwood settles it onto a woody, earthy footing, with musk smoothing the finish. Longevity is rated good while sillage stays moderate, so it reads as a calm scent that sits close to the skin. Few votes back these ratings, so treat them as tentative. Its profile is close to Sospiro Vibrato and Clive Christian 1872 Bergamot.

Giglio di Sardegna / Sardinian Lily

8.1

Acque di Italia

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Acque di Italia Giglio di Sardegna / Sardinian Lily is a fresh, floral women's fragrance built around mandarin orange, orange blossom and jasmine. It opens with mandarin orange, orange, bitter orange and cedar, a citrus start with a fresh, green edge. The heart forms a floral core of sea daffodil, orange blossom and jasmine. In the base, vanilla, honey and amber sweeten and soften the scent, while cedarwood and vetiver add a woody footing. Spicy, powdery and slightly animal touches run through the accords. Miller Harris La Pluie and Acqua di Parma Gelsomino Nobile have a close profile.

Legni Scuri di Vulcano

6.6

Acque di Italia · 2017

Green · Sweet · Synthetic

Acque di Italia Legni Scuri di Vulcano is a smoky, spicy woody unisex fragrance, softened by a sweet and resinous side. Its longevity is moderate and its sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin and reaches only those near you. With few voters so far, these ratings are an early impression rather than a firm verdict. It reads neither clearly masculine nor feminine and suits anyone. The top opens with cardamom, pink pepper, black pepper and bergamot, with spice up front. The heart brings malt, patchouli, tobacco and driftwood. In the base, cashmere wood, oud, sandalwood, vetiver and amber form a woody, resinous ground, with green and synthetic tones alongside. Tom Ford Oud Wood (Eau de Parfum) and Note 33 Sensuel Oud have a close profile.
