Essenza di un'Isola Acqua

OMG wow, speechless. I did get it as a blind purchase. I love myrtle and have the one of Acqua di Parma. This one is so beautiful elegant and sophisticated. It starts strong but not rough. The salty-citric opening evolves very quick into the typical combi of Algae and myrtle. Myrtle is more green spicy-herbal like. if you know this typical Mediterranean plant, it leaves a trail of that green, minty spicy scent. Combined with the salty scent it jumps into a more sweet note that is covered in a woody earthy note. I really love it. It is very fresh and uplifting and yet sophisticated. good for warm windy days.

Very unique and different . A bit medicinal at first and minty . Settles down to a lovely creamy soft fresh skin scent. Realy like it. Great for day and hot weather

Very fresh, earthy and mossy Herbal notes and hints of jasmine along with algae Mossy notes - like wet salty mossy rocks on the beach It's a total vibe

Yeah, this is pretty much Acqua di Sale, but more floral, sweeter and with a creamier drydown. Opens up remarkably similarly, with the recognizable mixture of seaweed and myrtle (a bit sweater than the one in Acqua di Sale maybe) and with an even stronger projection that might be offensive to those less tolerant of the seaweed notes. As it settles, the floral notes become more prominent and whereas AdS takes a much drier approach, reminiscent of the sun-burnt Mediterranean coastal vegetation, EduI's addition of jasmine add a fuller and sweeter touch, which later on evolves even further with the creamy oakmoss base. Idk, kinda makes me feel this part would work better in a summer evening compared to a beach under a burning sun, but ok... I wouldn't exactly recommend this over AdS as it's beautiful and somehow subdued dry, beachy feel that transforms beautifully from start to finish isn't handled nearly as nicely here - some of the notes are a bit too loud at times, making the fragrance feel unbalanced and tad too sweet/creamy for a pure beach perfume, but it's definitely a cheaper alternative if AdS is outside the budget. To be honest, the difference between them both was pretty clear when wearing them both at the same time, but apart from the piercing jasmine note it would be hard to set them apart on their own: they are just that close.

Strong and powerful. Reminds of acqua di sale. Be careful with the trigger, especially in the evening.
