Acqua Di Selva Eau De Cologne, 100 milliliters

Product Information

This iteration is watered down and has lost its sage characteristic, however it still is a winner for every day use as it reminds me of the golden age of men's fragrance. I came to inherit several of the mini bottles we had around the house , which were several years old at least. Dry spicy notes, such as basil, thyme, rosemary and rose geranium underlain by various woods take over the command.

Herbs and citruses from a happy young man garden - rosemary, lavender, bergamot are drying in the cottage rafters. Projection is subtle, a decent country gentleman does not assault others with his fragrance, and longevity good. Over time, it grows spicier and damp-grassy-woody, and it just feels like the paragon of old world masculinity. Love the Vitamin Splash and Cleanser but I think, sadly the mask was out of date or defective as it's very bitty and unable to smooth over skin. Not bad, but not as refined as Acqua di Parma on the one side, and not to be confused with the mighty Pino Silvestre on the other.I always look at those "it ain't made like the old stuff" style reviews with a degree of skepticism. This could be a good if somewhat antique-smelling office scent, great on hot days too, perfect for the "postmodernist" friend who is too hipster for the word "hipster". The "Mad Men" era of the 50's and 60's was probably the golden age of this stuff, more likely being splashed on the necks of mafioso than marketing agents, but the sharp bracing aroma still has some use in the 21st century. In addition, as we give you the option to choose what best suits your needs from several sellers, you have the power to decide so you can make your purchase as you wish. I am not familiar with the terms scent aficionados use, but the overall impression is this is an approximation or diluted example of the original.

Always have applied fragrances sparingly, but remembered performance of the old version of this, 2 small dabs of this would last most of a warm day, and it would clearly be recognizable on your shirt collar at the end of day. Fast forward to 2013, and I'm experiencing enjoyment of all things related to the wet-shaving hobby.

It is not a distasteful cologne in any way, but in my humble opinion they just don't make it like they used to. This is not the "Victor" version (made in US), but really, just how much different/better can it be?Acqua di Selva is much more balanced and less cold medicinal camphor than the Avon, but I can see the inspiration. Eau de cologne concentration means you might need re-apply this a bit to last a work day, but Acqua di Selva was made in an age where a man used scent as part of good grooming and not to act as an olfactive entourage to announce his eminence throughout a day, so perhaps layer it if you're looking for something "more".
