"Acqua" always sounds good on hot days!

Today I present Art 01 from Art Landi Profumi. I don't know this brand, I've never heard of it. Landi" in the name of the fragrance sounds like "Lando" to me, a character from Star Wars, but I won't go on telling you about him, because you don't want to know!!!!

*sigh*

Be that as it may, I got a sample of this fragrance from a nice perfume, and since it's summer and it's often really hammer-hot now, a fragrance that has "Acqua" in its name can hopefully be a little refreshing. Especially when it is still thundering or raining from time to time and the hot days are still so humid!

According to the manufacturer, the fragrance should have a revitalizing effect, especially in the fragrance note, especially through the refreshing citrus notes. I like to read something like this especially on hot days and can hardly wait to spray the scent onto me!

**The fragrance:**
Hm... I smell lemons which smell authentic or natural and actually smell fresh. The lavender adds a slightly bitter scent. The lemons, combined with the tangy scents and other herbaceous notes like basil, now look more like lemon verbenas, which is of course also beautiful and fresh.
Also later I smell herbaceous lemon verbenas (because you still smell lavender and basil). The fragrance is still nice, but now it seems quite dry. The light sweetness could come from jasmine, I can't really smell out an iris, even if the scent in the background should be soft.
In the base, the fragrance is still quite dry, but still nice. I still smell a little lemon or lemon verbena, otherwise more herbaceous and tart scents, like still lavender and light vetiver, together with some wood. Musk emerges at the end, which makes the fragrance warmer and more gentle-clean, but first of all it is not very strong and also does not necessarily make the fragrance even sweeter. Oud, however, does not seem to be present at all.
The fragrance may be nice, but I still find it a little unspectacular.

**The Sillage and the shelf life:**
The charisma of the fragrance is quite okay for a summer fragrance. The lavender in particular enhances the scent, so that it is not necessarily perceived at close range.
The shelf life was also quite okay with a little more than six hours.

**The bottle:**
The bottle is black and rectangular, with strongly bevelled edges, making it look more octagonal. There is no label on the front and I can't recognize the name of the fragrance from the front either, instead you can see the brand name in golden and beautiful writing. The lid has a patterned handle and is cylindrical. It's a nice bottle, but I don't remember it. The picture here on Parfumo is one of the sample bottles (or sample bags) you can see on the homepage, ... I think :D

So, the scent is actually quite nice. Even if perhaps some might think that "nice" could also easily mean boring, well, you can see that one way or the other. Because the fragrance smells good (nice :D), but it's actually nothing really exciting, because you really had such a fragrance very often under or in your nose, so that it's not really worth the high purchase price, but everyone has to know for himself. There are also expensive creeds (like Aventus... he he he :D) and Amouages, which strictly speaking smell good, but also a little bit like 0815 scents. And you Aventus fanatics... stay where you are before you pull out your pitchforks. Not everyone adores this fragrance as much as you freaks do! :DD

Be that as it may, the fragrance fits well into summer, although it is not really there to refresh, but can simply only be worn on warm days, when you want to perfume yourself on hot days without getting on other people's noses with the fragrance too much.

No, my thing wasn't that scent, but today I was with a nice perfuma (finally wearing a skirt, mu ha ha ha :DD) on a scent tour and discovered better summer scents for me, like Note de Yuzu by Heeley, but that's another story, that means the comment on it won't be available for a few days! D

*lando, are you sure you don't want to hear about this Star Wars character? I mean, now that the new movie is out and you can see the character in his younger years and all that? ... *sigh* ... well then not. But the next time I'm talking about Star Wars all the more, mu ha ha ha, that's what you got now :D
