Top note good, everything good?
Since nothing has been written about this fragrance yet, here is a slightly longer statement from me.
The fragrance begins citric-fresh, herbaceous-bitter-sour. The top note smells like the tomato plant or the green stalk of tomatoes. I guess this is the impression I get from the mint, which has been dried out a bit. So this is not a typical, super fresh mint (like the mint note of Bijon - Menthe Froide).
I must mention that I have been looking for a suitable summer scent for a long time. When I smelled Aqva Nvntia for the first time, I was very surprised. The top note with this kind of mint is very special and in a Mediterranean style. I don't know (yet) anything comparable.
After the top note, the dried mint leaves gradually draw into the background. The citrusy herbaceous effect in the top note can still be perceived for about an hour in the heart note, thanks to the "orange blossom + mint leaves" combination.
But once the top note and mint have completely disappeared, the orange blossom remains the main actor in the heart part. Here, soft, sweetish blossoms set the tone. The heart note is not feminine, because jasmine and rose are, in my opinion, hardly noticeable
There are heaps of fragrances with this orange blossom composition, which we all probably know more or less. So after the mint has gone, the fragrance is completely interchangeable.
The base does not save the fragrance either. I was actually curious about this stark contrast: fresh-citric beginning; warm, sweet end. In itself that is beautiful. But with this fragrance, one could have done it much better. Because the base is much too characterless. We've smelled this kind of base often enough: a soft, vanilla end (benzoin) with orange blossom residues. Not bad, but not good either, considering what the top note delivered!
Conclusion:
A top note that exposes your soul to the Mediterranean region, where you are surrounded by orange trees and tomato plants.
A heart note that could bore you.
A base note that could bore you very much.
Shelf life: good 6 hours. Afterwards follow fragrance residues.
Sillage: the first 1-2 hours your bank neighbour can notice you a little bit.

Oh, if that top note lasted for hours, you'd be my summer scent!
Maybe it's absurd to give 7 points for this scent. Heart and base aren't bad, they're one and the same. The top note is what makes this fragrance so special and it convinced me so much that I couldn't bear to give less points. After all, the top note smells better than most of the fragrances I have ever smelled.
