My last few vacations to the Mediterranean I wore Acqua di Parma's Colonia or Tom Ford's Neroli Portfino Acqua. Both I have sprayed me the last few days again. Today it was the Acqua di Sale again. And although acquired only a week ago in a local perfumery, it is THE fragrance that reminds me of the Mediterranean.
The amazing thing with this perfume began already in the perfumery. My intention was actually to get the Black Afgano sprayed on; I wanted to see how it would turn out. In an aside, the saleswoman showed me the Acqua di Sale. I took the test strip with me and put it in the hostess bag. The next day I took the jeans off the chair and I felt different for a brief moment; like I wasn't home. I smelled more intensely, wondered what it was, remembered the test strip and pulled it out. One sniff, second sniff, some pause, the third sniff. My friend had to take a whiff too. She smelled and started to smile slightly. "Remember the Amalfi Coast?" And yes, I remembered very well.
In fact, the art of this fragrance is precisely to give me the feeling of the Mediterranean coast. The days spent on the coastal hillsides, the standing bays, the chirping of the cicadas, the ever-present fresh breeze coming off the water. And although some lines in the comments here suggest that the scent has something chlorine-like about it, I wouldn't disagree with that at all in the second instance. Because it could also be the chlorine smell of a freshly cleaned staircase, which is directly adjacent to the restaurant, where a fine fish is served with well chilled white wine. An evening where the afternoon exhaustion of beach excursions fades away. The wine makes you feel light and the linen shirt with the soft penny loafers still calls for a little walk along the dock. An evening that ends with a prosecco for two on the balcony, transitioning to the night. Who needs a lot of sleep at night on vacation? Therefore, this fragrance can equally be interpreted as an evening going out fragrance - at least for summer. For me, probably the only fragrance this summer that reproduces the whole day on the Mediterranean, both retrospectively and from the temporal and intnsive performance in the here and now. Especially since I will no longer experience the Mediterranean coast this year and therefore I am even more pleased that I came by chance - I was actually looking for a Ausgehduft - on this fragrance.
My joy is unfortunately only slightly clouded by the bottle. Although the glass bottle as such very tidy and solid comes along, so very disappointed but the processing of the spray head and lid of cheap plastic. Also the nice idea of the travel atomizer and the decanting funnel could be processed in higher quality. But also not every trattoria awakens at first glance the cooking skills of the kitchen.
By the way, I'm new here in the community and if you have some tips for a nice fresh Ausgehduft, which reflects a bit of the Italian lifestyle of evening cities, such as Florence, then I'm happy about your tips.
Grazie i Ciao

When it comes to washing the laundry, I am unfortunately very stuck. A certain detergent from Düsseldorf and a sensitive fabric softener. For years, nothing else comes me in the laundry to generate a fresh laundry scent as possible. The pure form of freshness, so I thought at least until now.
I am not a special fragrance connoisseur and quite new to the "perfume game" (also rather by accident), so I can unfortunately not report something accurate about the fragrance composition and development. Except that I am excited.
The first time I was in my favorite perfumery, I just wanted to know some niche fragrances. I always just relayed "yeah quite nice, but I'm looking for something fresher, but I don't want it to smell so much like a shower gel from the sports booth."
On the fourth try, I got a test strip of Clean Reserve - Warm Cotton in front of me. I bought it even though the perfume didn't even end up on my skin. I have had this fragrance for a ¾ year. And this is a scent that always goes. It's a scent that works in any place. But probably best in everyday life. Whether it's warm or cold. Clean Reserve - Warm Cotton is always an unexciting and faithful scent. Whether you're feeling under the weather or in a good mood; I'm always in the mood for the pleasant scent of fresh laundry. And nowhere does this come into its own like with this perfume, the whole (un)lovely working day? If you love the smell of fresh laundry, you can not get past Clean Reserve - Warm Cotton.
And because my girlfriend also loves this fragrance so much, must soon get a new bottle.
