Acqua di Gioia Essenza

This week I was going to smell some perfumes that I had already in mind, but I never try the ones I want to try, when I am going to a perfume store I think for example: "I really need to try jean paul gaultier The EDT and the EDP classique" I am very curious about those, but I couldn ́t find them so I saw this one and I am glad I did not find those 2, otherwhise I wouldn ́t try this amazing fragrance. But this happens me all the time, I can ́t ever find what Iam looking for, I could call a employe, but since now I don ́t buy almost anything in stores, I prefer not to call anyone, just smell, and leave lool, then I order on-line(like many of us do, I suppose)Now I ́ll get back to the ESSENZA I wasn ́t expecting much since I don ́t really give a shi** for the original acqua di gioia (wich I own),so I tought it was something simmilar,NOT AT ALL, at least not in me, I really like this one It ́s really awsome, For those who can ́t find it avaiable in stores, I recommend a Blind Buy definelly!! And it as a very good sillage and longetivity lasts many hours.. I hope I can get one some day :)

Yesterday got the bottle 100ml - it's a bottle of my personal joy. I just love it from the beginnig to the end. The most strong notes for my nose are pepper, than goes jasmine, after it - mint and sugar, covered with cashmeran. Lemon notes are not so harsh as it feels in Aqua di Gioa, casmeran makes this perfume more suitable for brunettes - it keep saying "hot-hot-hot" after 6 hours of wearing this perfume. The base notes of origin Aqua say only "im fresh&flowery" and the sillage isnt so potent - imho, more suitable for blondies. When my sis(brown-haired) wears Aqua di Gioa, it opens more flowery and sweet, on me instead(Im brunette) - warm and sweet-spicy. Totally pleased!

I've just tried this scent. I would not say it was aquatic at all like for example l'eau de Issey. It is quite sweet and the dry down on me smells like juicy tropical fruits. Half way between papaya and mango :) I was bought up in the Far East so I should know. I thought it was going to be much fresher. Thankfully it is not too sweet or it would have given me a migraine. I am very sensitive to smells. I never smelt the lemon or mint that I was looking forward to. If I had tried this blind then I would have sworn it was a scent from the ESCADA group. Anyway, after saying all that, I like it and it will definitely be one of my new summer scents.

A lovely summer cocktail! I bought it at duty free in Newark and the worker there literally took me by the hand (do they just KNOW when they have a Fragrantica club member there? Do we give ourselves away because we smell everything?!) and I wore it every day I was in Denmark. It was perfect for the lovely spring days, rain or sun. It is green, refreshing, rainy, sunny, a margarita in a spray and exactly what I needed. It is precisely the reason I got into perfumes...aromatherapy. It stays on almost all, day, too. I found myself even spritzing at night before bedtime with the windows open and the cool breeze coming in.

Unlike most people, i dont think this is a day time/ spring/ summer scent. This is a strong sweet and floral fragrance for Winter nights with some aquatic freshness on the opening to balance it and keep the identity of the Acqua di Gioia Line, but in a powerful and intense version. 2 or 3 sprays are enough and its lasts for hours. I can’t wear it in the heat, but when its cold, it just SHINES! So if you tryed it in a spring afternoon thinking it was a freshie and disliked it, save your bottle for the Winter and give it another go! It might surprise you! Not very original, but I find it very feminin and sexy.

I never thought I will love this kind of scent. I come across it, wow! the scent is so fresh but it's not fresh in sour citrus, I get a feeling of something cool, calm and feminine at the same time and looking at the ad is really suitable. When I first smell I think about white flowers fall from the waterfall down the river. The drydown is a bit sweet, something smooth and delicate because of sugary scent but it doesn't make it cloying. I'm not good at describing the scent but I can tell that it's very very good balanced between fresh, sweet, calm, cool, and luxurious. I'm much in love with this Essenza!

It's a gorgeous elegant summer scent, really love it. Super variety when all the sweet stuff takes over. Acqua die Gioia Essenza is fresh and minty but has a warm undertone either. There is a blooming jasmine and a soft base made from cashmeran and sugar. I've never been there but this is how I imagine a walk along the Amalfi coast. Feels fresh and flourish and lightly sweet. My summer scent this year.

Mint Condition.... My favorite band, fa sho. I must say this fragrance is one of MINT condition as well, and I love it. It is the embodiment of my personality. Mellow, interesting, cool, laid-back and quiet... not because I'm shy... I just don't do small talk. That's the essence of Essenza. I do hate that this is discontinued... But for now I'm still able to purchase via the online marketplace. 10/10

Got this for £5 when I worked in a chemist's and I pretty much like it. I mainly wear it on cold, winter mornings as a kind of tonic or pick me up or during the summer as I love the aquatic scent. I can't say that I can pick out different notes, so I think it's blended pretty well and suggests that it is a very expensive synthetic, but all the same is smells wonderful.

This is a sweeter, more sugary version of the original Acqua di Gioia. I bought a bottle in 2014 and finished it just now in 2022. It still smelled as good as the first day I bought it. I believe it was discontinued because I can't find it anywhere. It is a pity because I loved it even more than the original.

This scent smells sugary sweet with a touch of mint and lemon on me. And for the longevity and sillage I give it 8/10. Oh it comes with lots of compliments too another bonus point for that. It works well in warm weather. And when you have this on do wear colorful clothing as it screams sunny happy moment.

Una fragranza calda,rassicurante,quasi ipnotica. Va dosata pero', 2 spruzzi al massimo e a "nuvola", la sera anche 3 ma non di piu'. Cosi'puo' esprimersi al meglio con l'essenza naturale di ciascuno, senza coprirla.Dopo un'ora dà il meglio di sé.

I love this one. For me it's hypnotic and has a wondurful quality: it's fresh and deep at the same time, with a good lasting power. Sweet but not too sweet/vanilla/gourmet, and in my opinion better and less girly than the first Acqua di gioia.

I love it so much, i get alot of compliements when i wear it. My boyfriend loves it too, he tells when iam weraing this that he can smell me from a really long distance :)

Longevity, incredible. Silage, maybe 8 feet! This is fresh and minty sweet, and I love it!! Many compliments from both sexes when I wear this.

I have the perfume and it is really nice~ I love it!!! The bottle is also very chic~ All I can say is it's really wonderful~

I'm looking for this scent... but supposedly it's discontinued. Is it true?!

Very fresh, gummy, minty scent! Read: Mojito Scent: 10/10 Longevity: 10/10

This is crazy. Its fresh but its a little bit sweet and extremely sexy.
