Long-lasting simplicity

The title in no way means that Acqua Viva is boring. - On the contrary, the fragrance impresses me with the small number of (stated) fragrances. At the same time, you get exactly what you expect, but from the front.

In the summer of 2023, I was looking for a long-lasting summer fragrance. I had already tried many, but most of the classic recommendations such as Pomelo Sorrento, Afternoon Swim and Sedley didn't last very long on my skin. I had actually opted for Burlington 1819, but in really hot temperatures, the fragrance was just too much for me.

At the beginning of October, I tried Acqua Viva in a perfumery in Luxembourg and was immediately impressed. However, I thought to myself that summer would be over anyway and that it wasn't worth buying the fragrance before winter. I quickly made up for that in spring 2024.

The fragrance starts with a lot of lemon peel aroma - amalfi lemons are a little different to standard lemons - and a great broom note. The cedar wood forms the base, but is never too prominent. Due to the high perfume oil concentration of the Porfumum Roma fragrances, Acqua Viva lasts for seven to eight hours, even on me.

I also found the roll-on included interesting. I had previously toyed with the idea of getting some to fill up. However, after comparing the application and spraying, I can only see a minimal difference. The fragrance actually lasts longer for me by spraying it.

Overall, the fragrance is highly recommended if you like reduced summer fragrances and still want a certain longevity.
