Water Lilies in Fairyland
Why this scent?
The smells that one can perceive at the sea - that salty, spray-algae scent - I really like. When I discovered Parfumo a few years ago, I started looking for fragrances that contain this algae note and came across Fiore Dell`Onda - the flower of the waves. I absolutely wanted to try it! The lack of comments and statements did not deter me from making a blind purchase; on the contrary - it motivated me! The scent description from L’Erbolario promised something enticing: it spoke of foaming sea waves and flowers swaying on them - an exciting image!
Scent impression?
The scent impression is somewhat special and somehow amusing. Why? Because it is very difficult to imagine which waters this is about.
With this scent, I get no iodine, no mud, no algae, no salt. So a trip to the North Sea or Normandy is already off the table. But I was ready for that, as the scent notes promised nothing of the sort (except maybe for red algae). Could it perhaps have something to do with the Mediterranean or the South Sea? Well, here you don’t get any pronounced citrus, no coconut, no tiara flower, no vanilla, etc.
So - river or stream? Pond or pool? Lake or puddle? And where located? The internet research with an excursion into oceanology and limnology (yes, I hadn’t known that term before either) yielded nothing. But after multiple tests and wearings, I believe I know where the journey leads - namely to a charming lake in a delightful fairyland, where charming flower fairies frolic (can one say that about fairies?)
The scent starts fresh, buoyant, slightly sweet (a hint of citrus can be sensed) and indeed slightly algae-like - could that be water lilies? After that, some random little flowers come in a light and fluffy manner, which I unfortunately cannot distinguish from one another - so neither violet nor white rose, as stated in the announced scent notes. Just imagine the vegetation in fairyland - all utterly adorable. This fresh, watery floral-plant-like slightly sweet note dominates the entire scent journey and changes hardly at all, in my opinion. It also comes across as somewhat artificial, which somehow fits the character of the scent - not synthetic, but rather “not of this world.”
Bottle?
The bottle impresses with its bright blue color but is somewhat disappointing in shape. It looks like a blue apothecary bottle and doesn’t seem particularly fairy-like. This is probably due to the image of the quite likeable brand, which specializes in natural ingredients?
H&S?
The longevity is very good, and the aforementioned main note is even slightly perceptible the next day, on clothing even longer. The sillage is rather moderate. A small note - in the bottle photos found online, you either see the inscription “Aqua di profumo” or “Profumo.” I own a “Profumo” bottle.
Conclusion
A light-footed, somewhat shallow floral aqua from the land of unicorns and fairies. For hot days, it can be quite nice if you want to feel something fresh on your skin. And a little fairy dust doesn’t hurt either :)
