I miss him...
Oh guys, how many times have I written "I miss the old batches" here? But it's true, I miss the old batches!
My first contact with this perfume was in 2011. My grandpa used to receive many perfumes as gifts, but because my grandma is very sensitive to fragrances, they all lay dormant in the cupboard for several years until I received them as a gift one day. The first perfume was a no-name oil, nothing special, I opened it, applied it to my wrist and smelled alcohol, water, salt, green... Nothing special. The next package, however, was different, it was still fresh in plastic, not opened once, like new! I didn't hesitate for long and opened the perfume, when I asked my grandpa later I was told that the perfume was given to him in 2002, so it really was one of the old badges.
The first spray was really a mess, I didn't like what I smelled at all! I remember it smelled to me like choking on salt water, and meanwhile it was raining lemon juice, really not something I immediately liked. A few days later, I sprayed it on again, still nothing, then again the next day, this process repeated itself for about 3 weeks, until at some point I loved the scent so much that I finished the bottle in one summer.
My God, it brings back memories when I smell it, summer, sun, going from party to party, new friends, old friends, and a certain youthful feeling of freedom. No responsibilities, no duties, just freedom.
Acqua di Gio has accompanied me through the summer of my life, which I remember fondly, and I so wish I could have a perfume with which I could experience a summer like that again one day.

Nice lemon juice
While looking for a new summer scent, I came across the blue ADP range, tried them all, and my favorites were definitely Fico di Amalfi and this one.
I think the bergamotto has a nicer sour note, which is why I tended to go for it.
Now to the fragrance:
Simply...

That's what rain smelled like to me as a child.
In my search for rain fragrances, I came across several perfumes, such as A drop d'issey eau fraiche or Clean Rain Reserve. But all these fragrances smelled way too, well... Perfumey(?) not realistic enough.
Until...
