Vert d'Eau

I'm surprised at how divisive this one is. But perfume really does smell different on everyone, so yeah. For me, this is what I had hoped Acqua di Parma's citrusy perfumes would smell like, but never do. The first few minutes are a pure green burst. It's somewhat intense, but I found it refreshing. After some time, though, it mellows out to more of a calm, figgy, but still bright citrus scent. I'd need to wear it a bit more this spring/summer to see if it's totally for me, but it's definitely in the running. EDIT: Back again. Tried it again. This is even prettier than I remembered. I also hadn't remembered how soapy the dry down was, which is something I enjoy. Despite the longevity being a bit wanting, I went full-bottle on this one. Will be wearing it all summer.

Love this spring/summer fragrance 4.5/5

This is a true fig leaf fragrance. It starts off a bit fruity w/ lemon and orange greeting the nose but those quickly fade to the background to reveal a lovely green and milky fig leaf. There are some lovely white spring flowering trees that combine w/ the fig and the crisp fruitiness of the lemon and orange. Sweetness from peach is there. This would be lovely to wear in hot summer weather. You would feel fresh, green, clean, sweet, floral, and a bit musky. Unisex, a man could wear this. I am really liking this and may have to check out more from this line. Very fresh and a very milky green fig leaf smell.

I’m picking up the green aspects if this scent, but no fruit or wood notes. Maybe a little floral? Even if this is 100% synthetic, I still find it oddly appealing. Just don’t go into this because if the notes. I’m looking forward to wearing this in warmer weather. For now a like.

A very strong fragrance, the citrus is overwhelmed by the green. It reminds me very much of AdP's "Arancia di Capri", even down to the green bell pepper impression
