Acqua Di Selva Eau De Cologne, 100 milliliters

Product Information

Note: For a warmer tint I personally enjoy layering a few sprays of Lorenzo Villoresi Teint de Neige with Victoria`s Secret Heavenly Eau de Parfum (body mist).

Bvlgari Mon Jasmine Noir L'eau Exquise: WONDERFUL!! Inoffesive at the workplace and still wonderful enough to charm your significant other. Longevity from start to finish on my skin is about 4-5 hours, excellent for something that is an EDC. Sillage is light to moderate, so this fragrance is delightful and inoffensive to most people. You would have to douse yourself to overdo this one. A couple or three sprays in an office setting would give you a crisp, clean, and confident scent, that would last through most of the day. Again, I am by no means an expert is scents, but I do know some of the scent profiles and the ones that I like. And this one is a new one that I really like. I am wearing it for the third time this week and at 2:00 in the afternoon it still has a discernible light scent. Very few scents last that long on me. Counter-intuitively, another perfume I often reach for is an oriental vanilla one, Vanillary by Lush. Thanks to a lovely Fragrantica member who introduced this scent to me, I am now hooked! Apply with a light hand; Vanillary shines in heat (so do quite a handful of gourmand and oriental ones)! The inky jasmine, vanilla and tonka combo somewhat smells like an exotic tropical island. Similar to what a coconut suntan lotion scent can conjure up, Vanillary has the same magic in summer.Chanel Chance Eau Vive: This works beautifully in our climate irrespective of whether its day or night. However, I wouldn't wear it on a rainy day because when it rains, IT POURS and it doesn't work in such crazy humidity. Dior Sauvage: This doesn't just smell soapy and clean but it's stunning! The new very cool spray is even perfect for women! The fact that I want to discuss Aqua di Selva here in my very first review is perhaps a little cheeky... you could just as well ask a lawyer for a qualified opinion on Mozart's Jupiter Symphony. However, I have my reasons: This classic here really surprised me. Summer is by far my favorite season and my perfume wadrobe attests to this. Of my 330+ perfumes I'd say 3/4ths are what I would dub "summery." I am one of those folks who loves a good airy, fresh, green or fruity summer scent. But as the dog days of summer intensify, and the mercury rises, I find myself reaching for my balsamy, vanilla, and frankly heavy scents. Sultry, that's what these fragrances are to me. A list of some of my favorite fragrances for summer. Hermes Eau Des Merveilles: I don't even need to say more. Coast of Colombo, strong winds and bright sunshine. Citrus and amber and ambergris on your skin and clothes.. MAGIC!

Davidoff Cool Water: Your inexpensive replacement to Creed Green Irish Tweed and this just works crazy good in the heat! For example, the more intricate oriental/woody scents, as well as the more mysterious chypre fragrances (with their less volatile molecules or their animalic nuances), can become a little too much in extreme heat. But how can one survive on a diet of citrus-only, or a rotation of faceless synthetic ozonic fragrances which present little variation among themselves? This option mixes the woody notes of barks, mosses and warm resins with the greener impression of aromatic spices, sweeping bypassers off their feet. When this particular product is first applied, bergamot, basil, lavender, rosemary and lemon come to the fore. Next middle notes of carnation, geranium, thyme, clary sage and pine move in. Finally the base of vetiver, tonka bean, moss, musk and cedar climbs to hone the olfactory experience. (Vetiver, sometimes called khus, is a grass similar to lemongrass and native to India.)

Acqua di Selva starts out a aromatic, herby mix. I get an initial blast of soft petitgrain, basil, and rosemary. I don't get much citruses. There's a slight clary ssge to this, with just a tinge of sweetness coming from the lavender. But the middle notes are, overall, similar to the rest of the fragrance itself: dry, herbaceous, slightly green. During the dry down I get some pine, vetiver and musk. But it's fairly light and mostly gone after a few hours. Wonderful article. It gave me a few tips what to try in summer. I live in Hungary, Middle Europe and summer is hot and sometimes rainy. Also I spend time in an air-conditioned office where warmer scents sometimes work better.

Summertime can be a challenging season for many devoted perfume lovers. We all share a common interest in exploring complexity in a fragrance, appreciating its nuances and evaluating the long story that is narrated on the skin by a good scent. Yet when the temperatures change, so do our preferences for fragrance. Much like the Spanish Inquisition, as immortalised in the words of Monty Python, my weapons of choice are "fear and surprise, surprise and fear." They seem to work pretty well. I also like wearing Carnal Flowe from Frederic Malle, the most beautiful tuberose on the market in my opinion which fits perfectly for summer or holidays, with its refined green and white flower breath that unveils all the facets of the tuberose. Well the first thing that stood out to me was that this does not have a dated or "old School" scent to me. I don't have any memory of this scent being worn by anyone I knew when growing up. The Citrus note is the topmost thing you get when smelling it in the container. It is not an industrial citrus like some describe Pledge furniture polish as being. It also doesn't have that overwhelming synthetic smell you get from Bath&Body works scents, Or Avon scents.Because I am a vanilla and oriental fan, I also enjoy wearing Eau Duelle by Diptyque in summer. A vanilla dressed up with spices, woods and powdery touch, Duelle's delicate and subtle sillage is perfect for summer. No this scent is somewhere between the synthetic modern scent and sniffing an actual lemon or lime or orange peel. There is also a hint of spicy middle that makes the citrus easier on the nose, in my opinion. It reminds me a bit of one other favorite of mine, Old Spice Fresh Scent. It's similar in the mid scents and base. Of course the citrus is what is vastly different. This fragrance is a show with several acts. This distinguishes it wonderfully from many later products, where after 10 seconds you already know what the water will smell like 2 hours later (still). The head, heart and base each have their own program, and it is amazing how far apart they are - and yet how harmoniously they merge into one another. Egyptian summer can be tragic for warm fragrances so I rely on my snuggly collection for fresh floral, soft green, cold musky, fluffy, flirty and fruity scents. Though I'm more of a winter lover I have to say catching fresh whiffs of sea breath tingling my tanned skin is a blessing. Currently I'm enjoying the taste of soft musk in Narciso Rodriguez Essence; immediately a cold wave of soft musk soothes my senses., I can feel the soapy rose accord dominating the entire development without being too floral allowing a beautiful musky theme to add purity of skin scent at the end. My go to fragrance this summer is Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Flora Rosa - it's "roses done right", delivering a true and balancing floral aroma dipped in sour tartness with a multifaceted accord of berries wheres you can feel a sweet and sour tinge at the end. For casual day use I'm a bit nostalgic wearing Lacoste Love of Pink and Versace Bright Crystal with the soft solar and powdery Fendi Fantasia Fendi yielding a clean and fresh aroma without feeling too generic. For a special summer evening I'm learning about Guerlain Eau de Shalimar, a sunnier version of the original Shalimar. The initial tart, sour start tends to be vintage-like while being condemned to act freshly enough for a warm evening; combining the sunny citrusy opening of lime with sour vanilla couldn't be better.
