Acqua dell’Elba Stella is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2025, created by Luca Maffei. Stella settles into a heart of Cotton Flower, Woody Notes, Musk, and Bergamot. Acqua dell’Elba's Stella carries a Statement verdict, a musk-led wear.

Light. Powdery. Modern. That's Stella. It's a clean slate, not overwhelming, and surprisingly fresh for an EDT. It might not bowl you over, but it's a solid, understated choice for those who prefer their scents subtle.

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Stella opens with a gentle whisper of citrus from bergamot and orange, quickly settling into a prominent powdery embrace. The cotton flower and white musk give it an almost weightless, freshly laundered feel, underscored by delicate floral hints of jasmine and orchid. Sandalwood provides a soft, woody anchor, maintaining a clean and modern character throughout.
