Acquiilssssima by Hilde Soliani Profumi

*****
Year: 2009

Notes: green tea, jasmine, seaweed

Comment: Acquiilssssima is part of the Profumo e Gusto in Libertà Collection

Inspired by a dish, prepared by world famous chef Claudio Sadler for Hilde's birthday, the best thing that can be said about this aquatic offering is that it's calone-free.

With regards to being verdant, salty and fresh, Acquiilssssima most certainly complies but is very indistinct as an aquatic scent. Any green tea accord is too discreet, the jasmine is soft and sheer, yet one is able to detect some fennel buried beneath the seaweed (with possibly a minuscule serving of oakmoss).

Lasting around six hours, its translucent saltiness fails to change one's opinion of marine fragrances in general. But going by the price, maybe that's a good thing.
