Alessandro Dell' Acqua

Am I the only one who dislikes this scent? To me it strongly smells of paint thinner overpowering all the coriander, geranium, pelargonium and sweet pea notes. It hurts my throat, though I am not subjected to any allergies. I had to wash it off right away. I am glad that I have it only as a sample vial – not much money wasted.

Alessandro Dell' Acqua is amazing! I have no other perfume that is similar to this. It is - as many others have said - extremely soapy, fresh, and, weirdly enough, super enchanting at the same time. I notice heaps of geranium and musk, and some peony. Also there is a delicious sharpness - probably coming from the sandalwood. Even though I like musk a lot, it often does not stay on my skin (or maybe I just cannot smell it after a short while). Here it has very decent lasting power, of 4-5 hours. Medium sillage. It is a cold smell, so I use it in summer only. By mere coincidence did I stumble upon an old tester bottle of Alessandro Dell' Acqua some years ago. I owe it to the positive reviews on fragrantica that I bought it right away. This website is so very helpful when making decisions on whether to (blind) buy or not.

I love this perfume! it's like baby powder. it's very soft, not very sweet, like a soap. to my skin last all day.

Soapy in a very chic and expensive way, different from actual fragrances, feminine and not girly. Perfect for a classy woman, but easy to wear in many occasions. I don’t understand why they discontinued it. Beautiful notes.

One of my absolute favourites. I was disappointed to see now that it has been discontinued, this freaks me out because I really want to be able to wear this for the rest of my life. To me personally it smells fresh and soapy and although it is inoffensive to wear it is not boring it is really lovely. I may have to stock up before it becomes impossible to track down!
