Roberto Cavalli Acqua is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2013, created by Louise Turner. Acqua opens with Lemon, Jasmine, and Rain, settles into a heart of Lily of the Valley, and dries down to a base of Musk. Roberto Cavalli's Acqua carries a Favourite verdict, a musk-led wear.

This discontinued gem is a refreshing-yet-sensual summer dream. It’s got that aquatic clean vibe, but with a surprising musky depth that makes it stand out from the crowd. If you find a bottle, don't hesitate- the hype is real.

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

  • 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

Cavalli Acqua opens with a bright, zesty lemon, quickly giving way to a lush bouquet of jasmine and lily of the valley. The aquatic notes lend a dewy, almost 'just-showered' freshness, while a clean, comforting musk anchors the fragrance, preventing it from floating away entirely. It's a harmonious blend that feels both vibrant and serene.
