About

Acqua Fresca opens with a vibrant burst of pine, bergamot, and lemon, sharp and invigorating. This refreshing front gives way to an aromatic heart of lavender, jasmine, and rosemary, adding a clean, slightly floral depth. The drydown settles into a comforting, earthy base of patchouli, oakmoss, and musk, with a hint of cedar, providing a subtle warmth that grounds the initial freshness. It's a journey from bracing citrus to a soft, natural embrace.
