Acqua Santa (2010)
by Linari

This is a review based on my first impression about this fragrance, I have to test it a few more times as it is a very complex one! I just tasted it on paper curious about the name Acqua Sata (Holy Water) and got totally surprised. I didn't know it was by Maurice Roucel and Linari it's quite new to the body perfumery industry as they previously did only room fragrances-The opening is simply amazing with a blast of bergamot working in a very special way. It gives you the feeling of real Holy Water and wax, surrounded by flowers sweetness. It's like to be in a church on a wedding day. The drydown is sublime as the scent morphes into a complex mixture of green accords, spices, flowers and musk. Rich and sublime but at the same time gentle and not loud.
