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.

Wow, that sounds refreshing and lovely, but one hour is really short...

Nice comment, lovely scent. However, this "water of life" has a strong resemblance to "Cedrat Enivrant" (AC). The latter is overall fresher, more vibrant, lasts longer, and has a stronger sillage.

Strange... I've already got my second bottle, and I don't know of any comparable scent that holds this dreamy citrus aroma so intensely and for so many hours. Maybe I should try another sample? :)

Due to its brevity: the scent is also ungrateful to comment on. ;)

Usually, natural! citrus scents unfortunately don't last very long, but an hour is particularly short for Profumum Roma.

I like it, and it lasts longer for me than it did for you, but definitely not as long as the average estimate.

A scent with such long-lasting lemon like this one being rated as average would have surprised me too :-)

Acqua Viva is truly sunshine in a bottle. It's a shame it doesn't last for you. I find the longevity of PR fragrances almost eerie. I'm wearing one since 8 this morning, and it's just now really starting to shine. :)

I don't think H&S is as good as the average rating here, but it's still quite decent. The citrus notes are fleeting, but the woody scent lingers with me for quite a while...

What? I found the longevity really good for such a citrusy scent. :)

I felt the same way as you. Very natural scent, but unfortunately poor performance :(
