Alessandro Dell' Acqua

Geranium and pelargonium are the same thing. Geranium is the common name instead scientific botanical name is it pelargonium. Than making some easy calculation people feels in this perfume a lot more "geranium" than musk. And so it is. It is a sort of super soapy (Dove ones) pelargonium bomb fragrance. Metallic creamy fresh flowers. Truly chic. Audrey Hepburn in Paris! Could be the Rive Gauche of this millennium. A lot of sandalwood and white woods like dsquared. Notes like blackberry as well in the dry down. A real gem. Clean luminescent but rich and warm. Obviously not understood and discontinued... Also the advertisement was a fail. This scent has nothing of a black dress, nothing of a sea place, nothing of a "I'll show you how sexy i'am". That adv capture the attention of other women, not the ones who can like this scent, and by opposite make run the suitable women with that pic of awful buildings by the sea and wet women.

Alessandro Dell' Acqua is amazing! I have no other perfume that is similar to this. It is - as many others have said - extremely soapy, fresh, and, weirdly enough, super enchanting at the same time. I notice heaps of geranium and musk, and some peony. Also there is a delicious sharpness - probably coming from the sandalwood. Even though I like musk a lot, it often does not stay on my skin (or maybe I just cannot smell it after a short while). Here it has very decent lasting power, of 4-5 hours. Medium sillage. It is a cold smell, so I use it in summer only. By mere coincidence did I stumble upon an old tester bottle of Alessandro Dell' Acqua some years ago. I owe it to the positive reviews on fragrantica that I bought it right away. This website is so very helpful when making decisions on whether to (blind) buy or not.

I just got my hands on it. Testing it as we speak, from a mini bottle. I wanted it for ages. So, first impression, this is a Sexy Soap. Like a foam bath, filled up with violet and roses (but hey, where is the violet in the list? it must be another floral note that does the trick). Of course it is musky, so many of you agree on that. Actually if you think about it too much, musk is all you'll get, but it is all done in a very interesting and stylish way. The soapy top though moves way too quickly towards the warmer peppery-floral heart on my skin. I really wish it would stay spikandspan fresh for a bit longer. Overall a 7,5/10. I do detect musk, rose, pepper and geranium from the notes listed above.

Love at first sniff. So classy and posh, elegant and timeless. I think it's one of the most beautiful fragrances in the world and wish i had bought a bottle when i saw it as i have not seen it around for some time. It may no longer be available but i will keep an eye out for it. If you like 'White Linen' by Estee Lauder then you might like this as it is similar but not the same. I love both but i love this even more. It's just a gloriously beautiful fragrance, and if i see it again i will buy some. Very sophisticated indeed.

Wonderful scent. I have discovered it only recently and I fell in love with it. It is creamy and soapy musk, which is not sweet the way all the other musks are (geranium?). That is why it is so hard to replace. Please help and give me more tips what could be similar! It has nothing to do with Narciso musks, neither Jovan, My Name (these are typically sweet). It also has very calming effect on me... Love it. And sad it was discontinued.
