"Splish Splash for almost no cash", or: the Aquatic Blueprint!
Incredible: I snagged 100 ml of this fragrance for only 6 euros (!) at Notino, and that was only because I had to add a few bucks for free shipping. And this EDT "made in France" actually comes from Grasse, the world capital of perfume.
What I then got to smell surprised me once again. I'm not really a big fan of aquatic scents, as they often come across as synthetic, salty, and/or stale to my nose, although the basic principle is clear: Aquatics are fresh without being citrusy and carry the water, hence the supposed sea breeze, right in their name.
So I approach this matter completely unbiased and find: Acqua is for me something like the blueprint or prototype of aquatic fragrances, because this is exactly how I envision a scent titled "little water." From my memory, I can recall the similarities to Kenzo pour Homme Eau de Toilette (which I once had). The astonishing thing: Longevity and sillage are truly not bad for a fresh scent in this budget price range.
I perceive a linear pleasant freshness with a rosy hint, ethereal components of pine and cypress, and very slight swimming pool vibes. It's simply well done, in no way synthetic, and perfect for summer when one wants to get by without lemon, bergamot, and co. Completely amazed and positively surprised, this budget fragrance receives a solid 9 points from me!
