A Wedding Wreath with Barbershop Soapiness
Agua Fresca is based upon marjoram, whose botanical name means "joy of the mountain" in Greek, and was first used to make wreaths for use as wedding flowers. It was because Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love, was believed to wear wreaths made from marjoram.
That being said, Agua Fresca is a natural fragrance inspired by the dense and humid forests of Galicia. The fresh scent of rainfall on green leaves and moss combine the soothing and aromatic notes of lavender, marjoram, rosemary, and sage, for a modern and elegant man. Agua Fresca feels like morning walks from the woods to the beach, and it's genuinely calming.
I wore this for the first time in months this morning, and I'm reminded just how good it is. A dehydrated, nearly austere citrus with a dash of herbs, it almost feels like it's been made in an apothecary's shop in a little Tuscany interior village. There is something a touch bitter in the composition, which I assume is the artemisia, and the juniper is present but subtle. The dry down is quite keen on the pine with a little sandalwood and musk.
It opens up with a dry blast of citrus leaves and aromatic lavender and bitter artemisia. The bergamot and mandarin stay entirely in the background, not ruling the opening. It's kind of like the humid airs of the forests, which exudes the essence of rainfall on the grass.
The heart is dominated by the soothing and aromatic herbs, with marjoram, sage, and rosemary in the foreground, so classic for the refined gentleman. Balsamic and resinous notes of juniper berries are blended in this masculine, brave heart.
The dry down is all about fresh, woody, and smoky accord. Burnt pine needle tree, rooty vetiver, and clean musk release the new trail of this scent.
It is reserved, with a moderate sillage and longevity, and old-fashioned in the right way. If you want something that has the echo of a fragrance like Acqua di Gio but has went in a completely different direction, try Agua Fresca, dry and fresh yet not aquatic or marine. It's not the sort of fragrance to get one noticed or complimented, but every time I smell it, I get a little smile.
Recommend for a calescent summer day, so elegant, airy, and light.
