Acqua Azzurra dei Fiori Bianchi

The Viaggio in Italia range fragrances from this brand are like Mediterranean or rustic destination scents that are pretty much unisex. They last roughly five or six hours and sillage is low to moderate. I don't know about the notes listed above (my box says white flower-scented) but I detect a bitter orange blossom opening from this one, and spices and woods appear shortly afterwards. Love the artwork on the bottles and boxes.

Perhaps the aquatic, rather marine notes in this are not listed as such but that's okay. The melange of the woods and grasses are evocative of a fresh plunge into a cool lagoon in Greece, Thailand, or Japan. The cardamom here adds saltiness yet doesn't overwhelm. It merely warms the air. If you want an alternative to Davidoff Cool Water, ladies and gentlemen, just dab this on or use one spritz and you'll be delighted.
