How does the longevity of this fragrance compare to other Acqua di Parma offerings?+−
While many scents from this house are known for being fleeting, this specific fragrance is recognized for its durability. It typically provides a full morning-to-afternoon experience, outperforming the lighter citrus colognes in the same collection.
Is this a good choice for someone who dislikes sweet or fruity scents?+−
Yes. This fragrance relies on dry woods, savory spices like nutmeg and pimento, and aromatic herbs rather than sugar or fruit. It is an excellent choice for those who prefer a "bitter" or "botanical" freshness.
Can this be worn in the winter, or is it strictly for summer?+−
While it is most popular in the spring and summer due to its breezy, ozonic character, the inclusion of pepper, pimento, and cedar gives it enough "weight" to transition well into the fall or be worn as a clean office scent during the winter.
Has the fragrance been discontinued?+−
Yes, this fragrance has been discontinued by Acqua di Parma. While it can still be found through secondary retailers and enthusiasts, it is no longer part of the brand's active production line.
