Acqua Di Gio Profumo

Mostly cool and green, like herbs crushed between your fingers. Underneath that, salty and mineral, like sea spray.

It opens on sea notes and bergamot, moves through rosemary, sage and geranium, and settles on incense and patchouli.

• sea notes: a general salt-and-air impression, invented rather than extracted
• bergamot: bright citrus peel, sharper and greener than orange. The note that makes Earl Grey tea smell the way it does

It lasts well and sits close to the skin after the first hour.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
