Acqua Fresca

I went to high school in Campinas, Brasil from 1984-1987 and this scent gives me saudades! Probably half the girls in my school (Escola Americana de Campinas) wore it, my sister and me included. Obviously, I have strong sentimental associations with this fragrance, but even if I didn't, I would love it. It's a beautiful clean, fresh, green scent, but with a little something warmer and deeper too.

I find this a very therapeutical water (and as a matter of fact, one of the sales girl has told me it was first created for medicinal purposes). It ́s wonderful to use when you feel tired of strong parfums, because it ́very clean, uplifting and detoxing (citrus). Also very relaxing, great after a bubble bath. I didn ́t like it when I first tried it, but know I like it a lot!

Um clássico da perfumaria Brasileira,é antigo mas ainda é muito bem vendido e apreciado.As notas cítricas e de flor de laranjeira se unem ao pinho dando uma deliciosa sensação de algo como "floresta cítrica",o que faz desse perfume algo bastante refrescante.Em dias quentes fica delicioso,dando sensação de banho recém tomado por horas.

A Brazilian classic, this is a timeless beauty and a national jewel. A perfume that is perfect for a tropical country, or anywhere nice with warm weather. Acqua Fresca is fresh without being aquatic, it is citrusy without being particularly fruity, and it is woody without being too bold. It is one of the most elegant perfumes I own.

This makes me feel like I'm 12 again! This was my first ever bottle of perfume, a gift from my godfather. It's hard to objectively review it, as my memories make me quite biased. But I can say that this is green, uplifting, and happy. :-) The closest comparison would be Vera Wang Bouquet.
