Acqua di Giò

Notes

Top notes

• Lime Green, tart and zingy, with a sharper bite than lemon.
• Lemon Sharp, zesty and clean, like a freshly scored peel.
• Bergamot Sparkling peel of a green-gold citrus, juicy and slightly floral, with a bitter edge that keeps it elegant.
• Jasmine Sweet, heady white blossom with an indolic, almost animal warmth.
• Orange Sweet, sunny peel with a rounded, juicy glow.
• Mandarin Soft, sweet and honeyed citrus, gentler than orange.
• Neroli Honeyed, fresh and a little bitter: orange blossom with a clean, citrus-edged sparkle.

Heart notes

• Sea Notes Open, salty air with an airy, watery freshness.
• Jasmine Sweet, heady white blossom with an indolic, almost animal warmth.
• Calone A cool, watery molecule with a fresh sea-breeze, melon-like airiness; it gives marine accords their ocean spray.
• Peach Velvety, juicy and faintly creamy, like fruit skin warmed by the sun.
• Freesia Fresh, peppery-sweet petal note with a touch of citrus and green.
• Hyacinth Sweet, green and watery-floral, with a cool, slightly heady spring character.
• Cyclamen Light, watery, green-pink floral with a soft, airy freshness.
• Violet Sweet, powdery and faintly green, like candied petals.
• Coriander Citrusy, woody and a little soapy spice with a fresh brightness.
• Nutmeg Warm, nutty and slightly sweet spice with a soft, powdery depth.
• Rose Petals, honey and a touch of wine; can lean fresh and dewy or deep and jammy.
• Mignonette Delicate, honeyed-green flower with a powdery, slightly fruity sweetness.

Base notes

• Musk Soft, clean, skin-like warmth, from fresh laundry to warm skin.
• Cedar Dry, pencil-shaving wood, clean and slightly smoky.
• Oakmoss Damp forest floor, bittersweet and slightly salty-green.
• Patchouli Earthy, damp and chocolatey, dark leaf with a camphor edge.
• Amber A warm, golden, resin-and-vanilla effect, soft, sweet and enveloping.
