Run of the mill aquatic
Essenza di un'Isola Acqua opens quite rough. I got a strong, nasal hair burning alcohol scent followed by an unpleasant, almost plastic-y scent. Luckily, that didn't last too long - maybe 5 minutes. As it started to dry down, got more of the oceanic vibe. There was a sweet spot - unfortunately didn't time it, so can't say when exactly - where it became a very realistic breeze-from-the-ocean fragrance. It eventually evolved in the far dry down to a standard, final dry down, aquatic blue scent. Sorta like the far dry down of Cool Water.
Performance was pretty good initially. Good projection for about an hour, but then it quickly retreated to an almost intimate skin scent, which did last about 5 hours for me. Pretty mild scent overall, so it's quite unisex.
I'm rating Essenza di un'Isola Acqua as average because it's really nothing special, something that has been done often before and I've got covered in my wardrobe with other fragrances. The scent itself is OK once you get beyond the initial opening; keep that in mind if you want to test it. You'll have to give it a chance.
