Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Essenza di un'Isola Acqua opens with a brisk, bracing splash of salty citrus, evoking the immediate freshness of the sea. This quickly deepens into an aromatic heart where green myrtle and a hint of red algae intertwine with delicate jasmine, suggesting coastal flora. The dry down settles into a soft, earthy base of cedar and moss, reminiscent of ancient, sun-warmed rocks by the shore.
