Eau d'Italie Acqua Decima is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2013. Acqua Decima opens with Lemon, Mandarin, and Mint, settles into a heart of Petitgrain and Neroli, and dries down to a base of White Woods and Vetiver. Eau d'Italie's Acqua Decima carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

A divisive citrus aromatic that many find fresh and natural, though some dismiss it as an overpriced, generic "old-school cologne" with poor performance. Best for those who want a classic, crisp citrus scent that performs moderately.

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.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon

Other declarable allergens

  • Bitter orange peel Citrus Aurantium Amara Peel Oil from Neroli
  • Citrus Aurantium Dulcis Flower Oil from Neroli
  • Neroli Citrus Aurantium Amara Flower Oil from Neroli
  • Spearmint Mentha Viridis Leaf Oil from Mint
  • Spearmint Mentha Viridis Leaf Oil from Mint

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

Imagine a Mediterranean garden at sunrise. It opens with a bright, zingy burst of lemon and mandarin, sharpened by a clean, herbal mint. As it settles, the soft, green floral notes of petitgrain and neroli emerge, before a dry-down of subtle white woods and earthy vetiver provides a smooth, grounded finish.
