Surfing.
The sand, still damp from the night, breaks in with every step you take towards the sea. Your toes are surrounded by the slightly cool, fine-grained consistency of the sand. When you cross the border and take the first steps into the other state, you flinch briefly. With each step you get more accustomed to the cool temperature of the still sleeping ocean. Gently and silently you let the board glide on the silky surface, lean on it with your arms and jump up with elegant body control. You enjoy the first short, slightly gurgling advance and then support it with even, alternating arm strokes through the velvety soft and somewhat hazy water. So you walk meter by meter in an almost perfect silence, interrupted only by the gentle sound of your hands plunging and your steady breath. In your back you leave a fine trace of crystal clear bubbles and the gentle bow wave of your surfboard. After you have reached a good distance behind the refraction line - the still relatively flat waves only come in at large distances - you sit up, rest your arms and back muscles and let your gaze wander. In the distance, the soon approaching sunrise announces itself in the dim light and on the horizon the silhouette of a freighter emerges. Still no bird or other living being disturbs this impression. Around you, the perfect silence and the overwhelming nature of the all-encompassing, peaceful blue.

And now imagine you're on the coast of Jaffa.

Fragrance:
The fragrance clearly starts with the fresh bergamot-characteristic of a Silver Mountain Water. A tangerine-fruity orange blossom softness blends very discreetly with it. A Calonenote, reminiscent of Jil Sanders Sun and going in the ozonic direction, gives the aquatic impression and remains the dominant note. The opening is concluded by a dry spicy, slightly sweetish aromatic cardamom note, which is quickly added and heralds the further spicy characteristic of the fragrance.
In the heart note this is continued by a deep, dry myrrh - slightly sweetish soapy accentuated by the rose geranium. Due to its subduedness and the perceptible maritime quality, the fragrance remains light and restrained.
In the base a warm woody note is added, which is discreetly sweet resinous and slightly vanilla-like creamy underlaid. Leather and patchouli delicately support the tart, dry spicy nuance of the fragrance.

For me Acqua Nobile is clearly an oriental aquate, because the dry, aromatic spices and resins dominate the fragrance - besides the calon note - without crushing or overloading it.
All in all, all components are incredibly reserved - almost wafer-thin - in use.

Sitting on the beach - e.g. of Jaffa - where you have the slightly ozonic aroma of the sea sand mixture just as much in your nose as the spices and resins blown over from the market with a light breeze, which mix with the fruit nuances of the orange trees along the way, seems to me to be a suitable picture. The own lightly woody and only very discreetly after sun cream smelling skin smell mixes itself under it.

Durability and Sillage:
As one might expect from a maritime scent, both are quite limited. I can perceive it well on my skin for about two to three hours, then it fades out quite quickly. The radiation moves just above the skin level and leaves a sillage discreet only about in the first hour.

Availability:
Due to its restraint, it can in principle always be used, as it does not disturb anyone. Due to the dry spice orientation and the slightly sweetish resins, it can also be used in the colder months. Portable, without question, for both sexes.

Result:
I like it as it is one of those fragrances that turn out to be more and more suitable for me: Skin fragrance, tending in a fresh, light direction with a subtle depth and at the same time a special twist. Sweetness is only allowed very, very dosed :)

If you are looking for an unusual - but fully portable - aquatic, away from a synthetic, sweetly supported freshness or a salt-algae load and have nothing against inadequate sillage and at least two to three sprays a day ... Here's one :)

Hang Loose from Jaffa ;)
