Editorial Portrait

Acqua Forte unfolds with a lively burst of yuzu, brightening the senses and inviting a moment of clarity. This opening is complemented by the warmth of cardamom, adding an unexpected layer that grounds the freshness in a subtle spice. As the scent evolves, the heart introduces an aromatic fusion with basil and Cascalone, evoking images of verdant gardens by the sea, where the air is crisp and alive with the essence of nature's bounty.

The base unfolds softly, revealing cashmere wood and Brazilian rosewood, which offer a touch of smoothness and depth. Here, the fragrance becomes more intimate, like a comforting embrace that lingers close to the skin. Each note works in harmony, creating a dynamic yet serene presence that feels invigorating without overwhelming. Acqua Forte invites a sense of ease, as if you're stepping into a sun-drenched afternoon.
