Acqua Alpes · 2017

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Acqua Alpes 2677 is a fresh, citrusy unisex scent that leans towards spring and summer, easy to wear at leisure and through the day. Its longevity and sillage are moderate, so it stays close without filling the room. Most voters pick spring and summer, and leisure, daily wear and work are the occasions named most often. It reads somewhat feminine, though plenty of voters call it masculine or modern. It opens with peach, bergamot and aniseed, fruity and citrusy. Jasmine, rose and Swiss stone pine form a floral, green heart. The base of salt, musk and more Swiss stone pine dries down aquatic, lightly sweet and creamy. Creed Spring Flower and Calvin Klein Escape have a close profile.

Acqua Alpes · 2013

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Acqua Alpes 2334 / Donna is a unisex scent that sets the fresh, citrusy tone of bergamot, orange and lavender against the soft sweetness of vanilla and ambergris. Its longevity and sillage are both moderate: not loud, it stays fairly close to the skin. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it leans towards leisure, daily wear and the office. It reads somewhat more feminine than masculine, though a fair share of voters call it masculine. Fresh, citrus and aquatic accords dominate; bergamot and orange give it a bright feel, while lavender adds a floral, green touch. Vanilla and ambergris settle this onto a sweet, creamy base. There is a synthetic edge among the accords, and a fruity note keeps the whole thing light. French Avenue Pinnace Oryn and Lattafa Ana Abiyedh have a close profile.
