L'Acquarossa

I just opened this fragrance and sprayed it. It is like wearing a scent memory. It is the early to mid 2000's, and I am dropping my kids off at school, then heading to work. After work, I need to attend a parent-teacher conference with my kids. All the while, I feel confident and soft. There is no need to change my scent because this fragrance can carry me through work and casual events. I think this fragrance will work for those who like to touch a space or a certain time in life that fits this time frame. I just spoke with a young woman who complimented me on this fragrance, saying, " I love scents like that!" Although she did not say it, I feel she was communicating the scent she experienced on certain women while growing up. Update: I've been wearing this fragrance for about 4 hours; it has largely disappeared from my skin but is clinging to clothing. With every move, I smell this fragrance, and because it smells good, I feel inspired. The fragrance itself, if it exists, is initially like a blanc moss, with sweetness and powder. I do not detect rose, but a bit of bitterness that is probably coming from the woody notes. It's really good.

بعذ از اسپری متوجه یک بوی قدرتمند و البته ناخوشایند شدم که فضای مصنوعی و الکلی ای داشت و کنار تُرشی آلو و مرکبات به مشام می‌رسید حس کردم این فضای الکلی به خاطر شروع و الکل عطر باشه و چند ثانیه بعد از بین بره اما چنین نشد آمیختگی رز و آلو بر پایه مُشک و پچولی و ...یک معجون نه چندان دوست داشتنی ای ساخته که علاوه بر کیفیت نه چندان مطلوب،ترکیب نهایی هم اصلا چنگ ای به دل نمی‌زنه دورنمای عطر چیز بد ای نیست و نظر مثبت هم دریافت کردم اما برای من که چندین بار این عطر رو تست کردم،جاذبه ای نداشت -تست شده از نسخه‌ی 2023- ************* scent:5.5/10 longevity:6/10 sillage:6/10 purchase value:2/10 ******* overall:4.8/10

A pretty citrus rose, not fruity, not sweet, quite cold in the dry down I like it

Good thing I didn’t get fooled by the pretty bottle or some of the reviews again. I really didn’t expect it to smell this bad. I bought a sample hoping for the rose notes, but the rose here is barely noticeable, and the lantana note ruined the whole perfume. Honestly, the entire scent smells like lantana — just as pungent and weird. I usually like bitter notes, but even the bitterness here is unpleasant. If you enjoy that strange lantana scent, this perfume is for you — but for me, it’s a big no. تا حالا شاه پسند بو کردید؟ همون گل رنگارنگی ک پر از گلبرگای کوچیکه و تو پارکا فراوونه. دقیقا این عطر بوی شاهپسند میده و رز اصلا مشخص نیست. گل شاهپسند واقعا بدبو واقعاا عجیب و حال بهم زنه. خداروشکر گول بعضی کامنتا رو نخوردم و باتل کاملشو نخریدم

Love this! I love the tartness in the top with a bit of spice and the dry down is so nice! This is unique to my collection and I love it for that! It’s sweet yet tart, bright yet deep, floral yet woody! It’s very distinct. This is one of those scents that once you know it, you’d recognize it anywhere. I enjoy it! If it is a signature scent, nobody will smell like you! I really enjoy this! I think fall/winter would be best but any season would work!

Nothing special and yet unique. A rose with a dewberry and musky facets. It is a perfect everyday scent, fit for the office and even for tough days when i don't feel like wearing perfumes - this cheers me up when I am fragile. Dewberry is absent, so the fruity aspect must be plum plus bergamot. A lovely thing I am glad to have. Not overly rosy, but the queen is here, undoubtedly.

This is a beautiful fragrance! It's definitely floral, but the citrus notes keep it from being too heavy. I get a lot of compliments on it, and it lasts all day long.

Sale cítrico y dulcecito por la mandarina y la bergamota y con un toque algo dulce acidito de la ciruela pasa ,luego pasa rápidamente a su corazón floral donde domina la rosa ,una rosa roja joven muy bien abierta y como recién regada y con gotas de agua aún entre sus pétalos ,acompañada por la magnolia como actriz de reparto pero sin duda domina la rosa y se percibe perfecto la flor de azahar de naranjo que le da como "luminosidad" ,como si estuvieras en un jardín de rosas rojas a pleno sol ,después llega el secado pero la rosa nunca se va ,un secado algo pachuloso y almizclado pero donde domina sin duda el cedro rojo japonés que se siente bastante amaderado y femenino a la vez,en conclusión para mí es una rosa fresca ,limpia y amaderada preciosa ,de mis rosas preferidas Es un perfume adulto pero no maduro ,es como dije una rosa roja joven muy fragante ,me encanta ,amo este perfumito ,creo q es perfectísimo para primavera con una duración de unas 6 horitas cuando mucho 🥹después de eso super a flor de piel Proyección media a baja Estela media Se siente un perfume de muy buena calidad con prestaciones regulares pero sin duda es precioso y vale la pena conocerlo

I think from the looks of the bottle Id expect something more dramatic than a romantic girly citrus rose with bit of pencil shaving. It reminds me of Yves Rocher rose fragrances.

Just picked this up to add to my Fendi 'fume collection and I am not disappointed. I don't get the plum as much as the citrus tartness of the orange and bergamot, but the aquatic lotus heart is divine. Being there is no lotus note, I am guessing it's the lantana? Lantana and rose mix? Because the magnolia and orange blossom notes completely elude me. I have never smelled latana before but, the complex heart does smell like a sweet lotus on top of a pond. It's very hard for me to dislike a musk, patchouli, with a touch of cedar dry down, so I really like this fragrance. This may be my everyday scent because it is citrus and floral enough not to be offensive to the average person, but still has a complexity that makes it exciting for "old school perfume" lovers. UPDATE: someone said it reminds them of Burberry scents and yes! There’s this random pencil shaving note in Burberry (Brit especially) that I find in Fendi Furiosa and this one. It doesn’t smell bad per se but under the florals you catch this woody pencil shaving note that depending on the weather and your mood stands out.

This seems unique in a good way compared to other rose frags I have tried so far which also have some fruit notes. And more interesting than more linear rose frags. I was a bit alarmed as the initial spray seemed strong of some floral note unknown to me. Is it the lantana? Not sure but I have enjoyed reading the reviews below and the comments about lantana and the other notes. It's seemingly a fruity and possibly watery rose with a nicely blended base which is more musk and patch forward than I usually like but it seems to suit the rose and fruit components well. I do get the wood from the cedar also. This is a longer lasting and more complex blend than Illuminare, which is a fruity rose I enjoy. Fast Fwd 6 hours: I swear my sweater (1 spray from the a.m.) smells mostly of white flowers, magnolia, I think - which is ok, but surprising. My skin still lightly emanating a rosy floral watery scent.

I have some Alaia shower gel and thought this would be a nice layer, plum and rose with more plum and rose. I love it and I think plum fragrances project on my skin. It is a totally different vibe from other fragrances I love. I do think it's sexy in a soft goth kind of way. I feel like it goes well with a certain look - matte make up, dark brows, eyeliner and mascara with a deep plum lip.

Was worried that the first blast seemed far too impregnated with cedar & hairspray for my taste, but that quickly developed into a most intriguing plummy/rose/musk with hints of citrus. I expected it to last quite long, but it faded sooner than I'd hoped. A bit like Fan di Fendi, and something of Play. I like it. Wouldn't be a fave, but it's neither young or old and can be worn anywhere, giving a warm floral close to the skin comforting vibe.

I could see how this scent has it's place in a fragrance wardrobe. I don't feel the bottle really suits the scent because it isn't bold at all to me. It's more like " I just showered an need to run some errands before meeting a girlfriend for tea. " It's smells different without smelling odd. Something about this does reminds me of a Burberry scent that I can't place at the moment. I personally do not find this to be sexy but it could be a signature scent for a lady who wants to just smell slightly better than " pleasant." As far is this being a rose scent I don't get that at all. I live in San Diego and have ton of Latana in my neighborhood and this scent smells like powdery Latana with a burst of the ripe mandarin orange. This may be how this performs on my skin though.

This is the first fragrance I bought back in 2015 maybe. I had no knowledge whatsoever about fragrances. I was at the counter, asked for something different, and the staff let me smell this. I immediately confirmed this was what I wanted, different, special, complex. This is feminine, sexy, unique. It's the perfume I wear whenever I want to feel sexy. It contains so much memories for me. Now I have dug into the fragrance world a lot more, this is not something I'd typically go for. I prefer niche, simplistic, even linear fragrance sometimes. But I still like this one a lot. It will forever hold a special place in my collection and my heart.

I love L'acquarossa Elixir so I thought I'd give this a try. They are so different, I'm not sure what the common bond other than the name is. Upon first spray, I got the citrus with dried plum, lantana, and orange blossom. While I love the smell of the flower lantana, I find it offputting in this. However, before long, a wet rose comes about and mixes with the magnolia, musk, and red cedar. This is okay for me, not a love. I'd sample it (I see many minis available) before buying a bottle. Both sillage and longevity are moderate on me. Update: After a little research that I should have done earlier, I found that both L'acquarossa and L'acquarossa Elixir contain lantana, considered the prime ingredient in the line. While I didn't like it here, I love L'acquarossa Elixir, so I'm guessing it isn't as prominent to me in Elixir because of the strong cherry opening.

A rose with a twist. I agree with many reviewers that this is a little unusual and odd. It took me a while to get into it after I got a little decant as a gift in a swap, but now I like it. I smell fresh red roses, lemony citrus notes, something peppery, smooth polished woods and patchouli and a lovely creamy note which likely comes from the magnolia and musk. A hint of warming plum is there, too. I don't know why red cedar has a picture of juniper in the pyramid, red cedar is a kind of cypress and this fragrance doesn't smell like juniper at all. If fragrances had a texture, this would be glossy and sleek. What makes it odd is a weird, skanky note in the opening. I think it must be the lantana. I have never smelled this flower in real life, but there is a lot of information on the internet that says it has a funky, polarizing scent. I tested this fragrance about 5 times and it's so moody! Sometimes the lantana overwhelms me and smells terrible. Sometimes it's just an interesting little edge in the background. I could never predict it based on weather or anything. I love everything about this fragrance, except when that one note gets dominant. And this is the reason why I wouldn't buy L'Acquarossa and would recommend to sample it a few times before deciding on it.

I'm finding this scent interesting, in a good way. It's definitely a nice departure from most of the cookie-cutter, variations on the same tired theme scents that I've been trying lately. I'm always a bit wary of rose but I like its iteration in this scent's composition. I also like that the musk doesn't overshadow the other notes at any stage of the scent's development, as it's unfortunately apt to do on my skin. There is however an oddness to this scent that other reviewers have noted and that is why I'm not sure yet if I will be seeking out a full bottle. I haven't decided if I love this odd, somewhat rubbery note or whether I can only tolerate it: it's there at first sniff and lasts through all stages of the scent's development. I finally realized what this note reminds me of - it smells like a wet bathing suit that you peel off of yourself after having spent the day at the pool anointed with sunscreen. I have no idea which ingredient or combination of ingredients is creating this note, but the scent does contain a number of less common components like the lantana, dried plum and the juniper (red cedar) that is much more common in mens fragrances. Maybe best to test this if possible before buying.

The opening is spicy (harsh) and nondescript, then the florals. On my skin it settles into plum, musk, a hint of floral and something odd that doesn't smell floral. It's an unusual fragrance. I like it for its oddness. I purchased a 30 ml bottle that I'll wear this fall and into the winter.

This is the sort of fragrance a woman who works in a high end dept. store wears..and sells Fendi! Nothing particularly discernible in the composition which is disappointing as the notes held such promise. However, I do grow lantana and can sense it's bitter green brightness here. It has a light spiciness for sure but I would have liked the rose and patchouli to have shined more. Really just a fairly unremarkable feminine fragrance. The Elixir is by far superior with it's rich cherry cordial accord. Would love to get my hands on a bottle of it but it's, alas, discontinued. Am glad to have the edt as opposed to the edp as parfum would be too strong for my liking. I prefer this type scent be close to the skin rather than entering the room before I do. The sexy red bottle with gold and black detailing is quite striking.

My perfume since 2013-2020 .. I adore it by all ways. I even got its lipgloss and verni collection and then its deodarant collection. Got both sizes too! I still have 3 unopened bottels. I love it bcz as a makeup artist .. Its smells like expensive makeup to me. This strong woody musky floral and spicy powder fume. NEVER ENOUGH. I advice. Perdect for all times. Its the type of perfume that you can stick to and make it your own signature. Lasts long and yes it leaves a trace. I cannot count how many times ive been stopped and asked about my perfume when iam wearing FENDI L'ACQUAROSSA! Too feminine and sexy. Try passing by a soldier 😜

Forbiddenjade's review is right on target! I have the travel spray, and will be purchasing the full size ASAP! I really smell the magnolia here, and think that is what comes across as fruity on me. This isn't much of a review and I haven't even gotten to the dry down yet, but so far, I adore it! To be continued! EDIT 4/13/2020 I now have a full bottle. I am wearing it today and it has lifted my spirits on a rainy, spring day, in the midst of this terrible crisis. Rose is coming through much more today, as well as the plum and a touch of citrus. It's really different from most fragrances in my collection. Projection and longevity are about average - not overwhelming, lasting about 4-5 hours. It provides pretty decent bang for the buck!

This is a fantastic fruwoodyrose EDP! Lightly juicy, not cloying, just a tad woody to render it warm, reduce the "wetness" that fruit notes can at times evoke. It is a fine concoction, a reminder of "proper" scent, well balanced, never vulgar, simply a stand-out of the crowd for love of unusual roses. Love at first spriz! I give it a full 8 also for longevity and sillage (arms length). A classy number to wear everywhere, at any given time of the day and night. Try to believe, you won't regret it. But don't expect something extraordinary. This is just unique without stretching that far.

For the EDP: Moderate sillage and longevity. This is no Nahema, but very wearable for social and office wear. A lovely rose scent which is not sweet and not powdery. The citrus keeps it clean. I usually avoid soliflores and floral predominant fragrances in my 100 degree summers, but this one is very nice and does not wilt into nothingness, nor smell stale at the end of a hot day The bottle is lovely. Overall, 7/10. (I am a tough grader!)

a pretty floral that started out light and a little fruity due to plum but then quickly changed into a sweet rose that really is more reminiscent of peony with a depth of musk and cedar; it is strong and a bit sneeze inducing but still has a bit of an aquatic feel to it;

If you watched Suspiria recently then this is how I imagine the main character - Susie would smell like. NOT extraordinary but powerful. The bottle is also reflecting this with its alarming yet classy red lacquer and rich powerful gold elements. Inside you'll find flowery and fruity creaminess. It’s simply soft and clean and light but with a violently consuming feminine power. I blindly bought it and I’m not surprised or disappointed - in a good way it's exactly how it should be. It’s going to mix beautifully with my ultra masculine scents - so experiment! Unfortunately it doesn't last for very long. 8/10

Roses and Juicy Sweet Oranges is what I get from this. It's fresh and the sweetness is more of a sweet fruit than sugarcane. Very classy and rich.

I was searching for a heavier floral for fall and winter and originally was led in the direction of a floriental but i also had something woodsy in mind. I came across this on sale and was a little afraid the plum would make it too heavy but it works well against the pine. It was this or pacificas persian rose. I chose this one and im really happy i did. It is a sweet rose in a pine forest. Its woodsy and sharp but not headache inducing. Its fresh but sweet. Its feminine but not shrill. Its there but not screeching. Exactly what i had in mind. And i can always buy a 10 dollar rollerball of pacifica later anyway. But realistically this is more wearable for me. After wearing more often this pulls rose and orange and plum now.

First spray, it is loud, edgy and alarming.... then the scent settled into uniquely gorgeous rose without losing its edge. She who wears this want to stands out in a charity gathering, gallery exhibitions or brunch with the girls at hip and hot spots. She wear loud outfit that set her out from her peers, but her attitude is calculatingly mysterious. She has devious mind but she watch what she says. She is uniquely edgy, but not erratic. Definitely not a scent for everyone, but if you wear it right.......<3
