Italian cedrata and lemon gelato

This has always been a favorite of mine: an extremely addictive lemon summer scent suitable for easy refreshment with a slight yet enough amount of story-telling and harmony. It smells like lemon peel, hints of orange peel here and there, with very little touches of cypress and cedarwood that provide the fragrance some more aromaticity and a final broom note to eat away anything sour. It surely dries down more sour than its opening but it's not a sour fragrance. You could compare it to Eau d'Hadrien by Goutal but that one is more ephemeral and woody oriented: take the lemon note and think about it as amplified and succulent.

Citrone Absoluta

Wow, such realistic lemon to start with. It's in your face citrus but not furniture polish opening as some have described. It does settle down quite quickly to a rather manly citrus fragrance with a backbone. Great for a summers day and with reasonable performance. I do not get 10-12 hours as some suggest. It will be part of my Summer 2021 wardrobe this year.

A cold, sharp lemon

Acqua Viva is a nice, fresh lemon zest/rind scent. It is a cold scent, so really only wearable in summer. It’s too sharp for me personally. I think I would find this too much in the heat as it’s also quite strong. A little definitely goes a long way with this one. It’s also surprisingly long lasting for a citrus. Worth the money if you’re looking for a refreshing, lemon scent. My first impression of this was that it reminded me of haribo lemon and lime jelly sweets. This one is just too much for me personally.

My preference would be Dulcis in Fundo over this one. I find it lighter to wear and prefer the sweetness of it, which makes it more versatile and wearable in different seasons.

In Paradise for an Hour

This may be my shortest comment.

Scent Development:

Acqua Viva opens with a wonderfully natural, citrus-orange, incredibly zesty and full-bodied note. It is as invigorating and mood-lifting as one could wish for. The fragrance feels refined and high-quality. After about half an hour, the impact of the citrus note noticeably diminishes, and a subtly woody-herbaceous note blends in, which is quite discreet and defines the remaining development. Unfortunately, the magic of this unique fruity freshness does not return.

Longevity and Sillage:

The longevity on my skin is about 6-7 hours; however, the fresh-fruity, intense note is only perceptible for a short hour, after which it, along with the sillage, significantly fades.

Conclusion:

A beautiful, sparkling, invigorating sweetened citrus scent, incredibly pure and natural in appearance, which has disappeared from my skin after a good hour (and this in several tests). After that, a rather uninspired and quite weakly woody bitterness prevails. Thus, just a fleeting dream! I thank Greenie07 very much for the sample.

Lake Garda in a Bottle

In my younger years, I was always drawn to distant places. Driven by the desire to see everything in the world, the further away, the better. I still haven't seen everything and I won't - at least not in this life. But I don't need to anymore, or let's say - I don't want to anymore. With each passing year, I learned to appreciate simplicity. "Uncomplicated" and "reduced" fill me more and more, and I also learned to appreciate the closeness to nature and the love for vacation destinations in Europe and at the borders of Germany. Especially Italy, the land of "Amore" and zest for life.

I never would have believed I would become a camping bride. I also had a very limited idea of campsites, tents, their jogging-suited inhabitants, and the sanitary facilities. Today, I can't imagine anything else, and where does all this take place - at Lake Garda. Amid blooming caper bushes, chirping crickets, yes - here and there something crawling, and the intoxicating scent of wild lemons. The wild lemons are smaller than the ones we know from the store, also inedible, but with a scent to kneel for.

The fresh fruity lemon note begins with AV in the top note and runs through the entire fragrance progression, contrasting for me with cedarwood. The exotic Mediterranean flora of Lake Garda also stands in contrast to the snow-covered peaks of the Trentino Alps, yet they form a wonderful unity.

From March onwards, spring arrives at Lake Garda. Crocuses, violets, and delicate mimosa bloom, and soon forsythias join in. Cherry blossoms make everything appear in a clear, fresh, and pure white. Although violets and mimosa do not belong to AV, the broom adds a pure freshness to this fragrance that I also know from Aria di Mare, which smells of sun and saltwater. However, I do not perceive it as a good-mood or pure vacation scent. It awakens in me a feeling of life. The feeling of people who remain calm and friendly even in the greatest stress, who can enjoy. Living life, love, and desire, and in this way, they are incredibly lovable and sympathetic. They have style and class for me and at the same time a certain lightness, from which I sometimes wish to take a bit more. Even if AV does not have a great fragrance progression, it is still extremely noble and stylish. It possesses a clarity that I find uncomplicated but not flat. It is very distinctly perceived without being intrusive, and it has very good longevity.

I suddenly think of a special orchid species that blooms at Lake Garda but is unfortunately becoming rarer - the bumblebee orchid. This flower does not attract with its sweet nectar, as other flowers do, but with a special sexual attractant. Please forgive me if I make a connection to AV at this point. For me, this fragrance also has a very appealing eroticism, which probably lies more in the overall composition than in the individual fragrance components. Whether man or woman, AV would be an attractant for me.

Addendum: My oldest son was just sniffing around me and said: "Mom - I know that scent, all the girls smelled like that in the disco on Saturday night." Thanks - that’s a clear foul!!! Can that be?
