Part of the Clean Craze
I braced myself for something unwearable when I donned Emilio Pucci ACQUA 330, as I am not an amateur of aquatic frags, but this one is not that bad, which is to say: it's not overly aquatic. Yes, it smells synthetic, but it does not making me seasick, so that's already a good sign.
As the scent settled down, it occurred to me that ACQUA 330 seems like a hybrid between Jennifer Aniston's perfume and DKNY PURE VERBENA (the flanker to PURE). The jasmine is central to this composition, but there is a sort of herbality leading into the soapy drydown, which again reminds me a lot of JA.
All in all, I'd say that this perfume is characteristic of the current trend in house of Clean-type fragrances which have taken the mainstream perfume market by storm and help to explain why so many perfumistas are looking more closely into niche houses. Most of us already smell pretty clean, having recently bathed, so fragrances such as these are somewhat redundant, it seems to me.
