Arcipelago Donna
Acqua dell'Elba

This is a really lovely, unique perfume! My husband brought this back for me when he went to Italy. I don't get the citrus top notes, though he can smell them. What I do get is a creamy floral--it literally smells like clean (not indolic) jasmine and mimosa combined with the nicest, most perfect old-fashioned apothecary cream soda, not too sweet but with herbal undertones. That might sound strange, but it's just wonderful. I've never smelled anything like it. It's a good all-seasons scent, doing well in cool and warm weather. There is nothing harsh, spiky, or loud about this; it's just comforting, sweet, and beautiful.

The only other comment I have is that to my brain, the colour doesn't match the scent! When I see a blue fragrance I immediately think cool barber shop and aquatic notes, like Maison Margiela's Replica Sailing Day. This is more of a warm golden fragrance to me. I guess that's just the way my brain works :)
