Arancia di Capri Acqua di Parma 1999

After I liked Fico di Amalifi from the same house very much, I started to test another summer scent candidate from the blue series of Acqua di Parma.

Sprayed on, a really very authentic orange note emerges, which is accompanied by some denzent tangerine notes in the background. This is less a ripe, sweet orange than a slightly greenish, citrus-scented Mediterranean fruit still hanging on the organ tree. For me, the association of a relaxed roaming through a densely populated organ grove on a mid-warm spring day somewhere on the Italian campo results directly from this.

As natural and summery-refreshing as the orange may seem, it evaporates after about an hour on my skin and my spring walk comes to an abrupt end. What remains is a Petitgrain skin scent that is all too bitter and bitter for me, which is almost imperceptible after another 1.5 hours or so.

Arancia di Capri, for example, certainly deserves the credit for its really successful unsweet, authentic orange note, which should not miss its refreshing, never penetrating effect, especially at high summer temperatures. But in view of the durability and projection, which is extremely disappointing even for a citric scent, and the heart/base note after the initially beautiful 45 orange minutes, which is not very appealing for my taste, the scent does not exceed a mediocre rating for me. With a similarly weak performance, Fico di Amalfi is for me the much more beautiful and extraordinary fragrance
