this one is beast … sillage and lasting power … thumbs up!
klesch69 – :
I’m looking for this scent… but supposedly it’s discontinued. Is it true?!
alexpuv – :
I really had high hopes for this one. Sadly, it is another like not love. The opening is AMAZING! I don’t know if I have a rookie nose or the lemon in here is in fact unique! It’s not typical (think D&G Light Blue). I also enjoy the dry-down. it’s minty creamy vanilla. My issue with this is that it DOES NOT PROJECT!! I don’t smell it unless I put my nose to my wrist(*cries). It lasts about 6 hours and is more pronounced on clothes (like most perfumes are). Never got compliments or even noticed wearing this. Even when I overspray.
If it were to have a stronger projection, it would’ve been a gorgeous gorgeous perfume. Will not repurchase.
denduv – :
A much better option than the classic one. Brighter perfume. Ideal for summer. It really feels like sugar jasmine. Many people ask me about the perfume, which means it is feeling and accepts positively from others. Light perfume, uncommon but radiant. also suitable for young girls.
pakish.77 – :
An amazing scent. Me and my mom both fell in love with it very quickly. It’s hard to believe someone would dislike it. Smells like a sweet but it is classy and just beautiful. 1 spray and it stays around for more than 2 days for me. Essenza will always have a special place in my heart! ♡
smch68 – :
It is amazing I tried it today in a shop i love it. Im crazy about aqua di gioia and this is wonderful aswell i go and buy it tomorrow i am very excited to buy i love fresh perfumes.
sabantui toxa – :
It’s the dead of winter and snowing like crazy here but this made everything smell crisp, clean and fresh. I know everyone says it’s a warm weather scent which I most definitely will try but on a night out for dinner it just made me feel more alive. I got a lot of compliments on it and definitely buying a bottle tomorrow. The Aqua di Gioia was a blind buy and I’m glad I did it because I’ve absolutely fallen in love with this line. Sun and Air will be my next ones. I experienced each note and even a slight mint after it dried down.
Redlion – :
Got this for £5 when I worked in a chemist’s and I pretty much like it. I mainly wear it on cold, winter mornings as a kind of tonic or pick me up or during the summer as I love the aquatic scent. I can’t say that I can pick out different notes, so I think it’s blended pretty well and suggests that it is a very expensive synthetic, but all the same is smells wonderful.
VitKho – :
I only notice pepper as strongest note. the other are weak and I get headache everytime I use this. I really really feel sorry for money spent on this.
Olympea and Lady million by Pacco Robane,
Lancome Hypnose
Still, JLo
smell million times better than this.
This Acqua di Gioia is teasing me.
EvgenijKEA – :
i absolutely loved it when i first tried it on becuase it was strongly minty on me. and i found this special.
But somehow the mint is no longer that evidence. Now it is sugar which is the most evident. Sugar with faint suggestion of mint. Cool and watery. The sillage is moderate. But when i put my nose close to the fragranced skin, i smelled lemon and cedar. This perfume has duality like that.
dusik123 – :
Blind Buy. Good smell. Poor Longevity . Anyone else ?
oaoolga – :
Cool, aromatic, not so good on the skin at the moment. Will edit
diffalleddY – :
It’s a gorgeous elegant summer scent, really love it. Super variety when all the sweet stuff takes over. Acqua die Gioia Essenza is fresh and minty but has a warm undertone either. There is a blooming jasmine and a soft base made from cashmeran and sugar. I’ve never been there but this is how I imagine a walk along the Amalfi coast. Feels fresh and flourish and lightly sweet. My summer scent this year.
Emmax – :
I’m not sure I like this one. I think the added woods made it a bit masculine, and the stronger jasmine, less fresh. I definitely prefer the original and find it more pleasing to the nose.
The sillage and staying power of this one, though, are better.
irina.v-08 – :
This scent is sweet and woody. I am not sure how I feel about it just yet. It does mellow out some, but it smells a bit artificial and generic. It doesn’t exude class but more the cheap drug store perfume it conveys. I smell the lime which I like, but it reminds me of something I would have worn as a teen…similar in style like Paris Hilton or Escada like.
r4v3nexecutor – :
This scent smells sugary sweet with a touch of mint and lemon on me. And for the longevity and sillage I give it 8/10. Oh it comes with lots of compliments too another bonus point for that. It works well in warm weather. And when you have this on do wear colorful clothing as it screams sunny happy moment.
comrad74r – :
So pretty and beautiful! Sweet concoction of mint, jasmine and faint blond wood, with citrus at the top. The mojito comparison is a really good one, actually, it describes the top quite accurately. The heart features clean jasmine and and mint, and the wood makes the whole more substantial. I love this – will probably get a bottle for the summer!
P.S. This reminds me of Light Blue, only the lemon is tamer, and there is sugar and mint making this very charming!
Katrin2079 – :
Receive this today at 14.40 Hrs.
After unboxing, I was instantly blown away with the bottle design, I love the shape its easy to grab and its just nice to hold. The metallic silver bottom really gives it edgy modern look which fades to ocean green color clear glass at the top, The bottle isnt really heavy due to small minimal size plastic cap on it.
The scent, is really something. I confidently can say the longevity & silage are above average & really impressive.The sugary sweetness are nicely balance by the freshness.
1 Squirt on the shirt (Under The Right Side Collar) at 3pm and 3 compliments coming right up within 5 hours.
1) One of my colleague just stare at
me and stand freeze right after I
walk pass her (No Kidding). She
don’t say a word but I can hear
her sniffing deep like she wants
to sniff the scent trail all in.
2) After work I went to the mall,and
yes this juice still going strong
even though it’s already 7pm, only
that it has become much more
smoother but the freshness still
there. Walk in the crowd of
people, and theres this middle age
husband and wife like 5 steps in
front of me. Suddenly the husband
turn to his wife and said “Hey,
can you smell it ? The perfume
smells nice” I was happy but I
don’t want them to know it was me
so I slow down my step letting
them go further and further and I
go another direction.
3) Went to the male restroom, once
done theres a couple of young
ladies standing outside maybe
waiting for one of their friend in
the female restroom since the male
& female restroom located side by
side. Then i walk pass them,
heard them sniffing deeply but
this time I hear one of them say
“That creature smells good”.
So there you have it, compliment getter. I’m really super satisfied with this perfume. And I think this is the 1 squirt per day perfume. Yes ! just 1 squirt you’re good to go. This will last on you all day specially on the shirt. I don’t know if its only me but this to me has a little Glamorous Magnolia By Gucci resemblance to it.
But overall, I’m satisfied, I’m happy and this will be my new favorite. Definitely !
t_syrmachev – :
This Acqua di Gioia flanker, Essenza, was one of about a hundred samples I carried across the planet with me to New Zealand. I am leaving in three weeks, so it’s review them now or carry them all back.
The sugary-citrus opening is reminiscent of the Fresh Sugar series, but several minutes later the cashmeran becomes more marked and the scent starts to smell like synthetic woodishness, and not fresh at all. I am not a fan of the flood of those scents now on the market (no doubt because they are cheap and easy to produce).
I wonder whether some of the rave reviews are based only on the opening perception?
Aerohopleneritbc – :
I love this scent so much. Sadly, I break out in a rash when I wear it…..so my bottles are up on eBay now. 🙁
KAKA_8_ – :
Magnificent! Exellent silliage and longevity!
krassavizza – :
This is crazy. Its fresh but its a little bit sweet and extremely sexy.
griff8m – :
strangely enough, I only get wooden notes and pepper, nothing else
scorpion iv – :
Very fresh, gummy, minty scent! Read: Mojito
Scent: 10/10
Longevity: 10/10
52pgn – :
Every time I use Essenza I feel like drinking good quality, very fragrant jasmine tea with at least 5 heaped spoons of sugar while chewing peppermint gum 😉
It’s refreshing, soft and feminine. I totally agree with other reviews stating it’s different (and IMO better) than Acqua di Gioia! I can’t smell any of those piercing, strong citruses that annoyed me in the original AdG.
Jasmine and mint are notes I can smell for the first 4-5 hours, they’re detectable in the dry down as well but accompanied by soft scent of hot sugared tea.
Absolutely delightful, and I can see myself wearing it during early Autumn 🙂
matvey4ik – :
A lovely summer cocktail! I bought it at duty free in Newark and the worker there literally took me by the hand (do they just KNOW when they have a Fragrantica club member there? Do we give ourselves away because we smell everything?!) and I wore it every day I was in Denmark. It was perfect for the lovely spring days, rain or sun. It is green, refreshing, rainy, sunny, a margarita in a spray and exactly what I needed. It is precisely the reason I got into perfumes…aromatherapy. It stays on almost all, day, too. I found myself even spritzing at night before bedtime with the windows open and the cool breeze coming in.
Pashett – :
Acqua di Gioia Essenza is exactly what the notes suggest it to be like: a glass of fine Mojito to enjoy at the edge of a swimming pool in a 5 stars hotel in South Europe. The sweetness is gone quite soon, and after the dry down the mint stays for a long while, pairing up with the rest of the notes one after another. Quite pleasant. The me from a few years back would be head over heels for Essenza, but I’ve started to lean towards sweeter scents so it’s not an option for me at the moment. I’d absolutely recommend it for the rest of you who are in for a spritz of unique freshness though.
LudaTenVar – :
Opens with a huge blast of lemon, sugar and minth. As it settles on the skin, the lemon fades and the jasmin makes it appearance on a spicy woodsy base.
I think the pepper gives it enough character to make it suitable for men as well.
Personally,… I preferred it to be a little less spicy and would have wished for the lemon and sugar to take the lead.
It won’t become a favorite, but it’s still nice.
♥♥♥
pmy006Diobtetty – :
Thought it would be more tropical, or fruity, but not on me. I feel it sweet and powdery, it ok but No Surprises, a regular scent. I dont feel any mint, if you want to be part of a big crowd of women this is the perfume. if you want something classic with a twist. this is not the option. ADG essenza could have been done by Calvin Klein, Ralph L. C. Herrera, or others. Just one more. No personality.
Анна-Мария – :
Truely a nice clean fragrance. Works great for work for example. Or anything. You might think from reading this, that it’s another completely inoffensive fragrance, but it is actually quite assertive, in my opinion. The jasmine, I think it is, will not just back off, and makes it quite noticeable. But still in a clean, nice way.
In my opinion Essenza is a very successful improvement of the original, which I didn’t like. Although Essenza still does remind me of a certain stage in the original fragrance, Essenza is convincingly SO much better than the original and she stays true to herself all the way….mmmmyummy clean!
sanya54306 – :
On me this perfume stands for both aquatic and sweet in a great balance, i think i have a hard to match chemistry for many perfumes, this one is the perfect spring/summer scent for me and i have to have it 😀 sillage is very apropriate and longevity also very good on the heavy side for me. Good job armani 😉
Wefelerse – :
This unfortunately smells like moth balls or bad breath on me, LOL. I don’t know what it is, but it’s not even close to the original and I am glad that I never purchased this one. Oh well, what a shame because on the blotter card it smells amazing. I think it’s more of a body chemistry thing for me.
val1970val – :
On my skin, the pepper and fresh aspects of this perfume are revealed. I only get a hint of sweetness in the opening and the drydown is that of a flowery, peppery cologne. To me this is more of a perfume for work environment, or someone discreet and sporty.
lav110 – :
I’ve just tried this scent. I would not say it was aquatic at all like for example l’eau de Issey. It is quite sweet and the dry down on me smells like juicy tropical fruits. Half way between papaya and mango 🙂
I was bought up in the Far East so I should know. I thought it was going to be much fresher. Thankfully it is not too sweet or it would have given me a migraine. I am very sensitive to smells. I never smelt the lemon or mint that I was looking forward to.
If I had tried this blind then I would have sworn it was a scent from the ESCADA group. Anyway, after saying all that, I like it and it will definitely be one of my new summer scents.
вовказар – :
Ive tried this. Prefer the first one Acqua di Gioa though, as it is fresher.
This one has excellent sillage and longevity, but the marshmallow note comes off as strongest, after it has settled, which is why i prefer the first one.
This one becomes sweet and mushy when settled, as opposed to the original that smells somehow fresher, notes are well blended, nothing really sticks out or takes centre stage in particular. But the original’s longevity is moderate.
If you like sweet, you will enjoy this one though, it does not smell edible, but just deeper.
Extremely long lasting.
I might get it actually, as i have had the first one and a new change is always good -)
8seon – :
Fresh …great sillage and very very long lasting! I this and the original version. of ADG and this is a touch warmer due to cashmeran. Two spritz max is enough for most of the day… if you like fresh long lasting perfumes this hits the spot!!
exclusive-mobile – :
I love it so much, i get alot of compliements when i wear it. My boyfriend loves it too, he tells when iam weraing this that he can smell me from a really long distance 🙂
Syndikat1991 – :
Its longevity, and silage are overwhelming. It could be positive, or negative. But I got a headache because it lingers for so long. IF you work for long hours, go for it.
zlodeix – :
I truly don’t know why it is in the floral/ aquatic category, to me there isn’t anything remotely aquatic about it, I would describe it as a balmy floral, feminine, I really enjoy it, I find it uplifting, yet with a certain sensuality, I do not get minty notes either.
All in all a fresh balmy scent, well constructed, I definitely detect the cashmeran. Which makes me think of a Donna Karan fragrance it could be similar to..in the same vibe, enveloping, interesting, womanly not girlish at all..
My husband likes it, which is a plus..it isn’t extremely complex so the development is overall poor, but for now I reach for it often.
3557 – :
longevity and silage
very good choice
Horcrussy – :
Longevity, incredible. Silage, maybe 8 feet! This is fresh and minty sweet, and I love it!! Many compliments from both sexes when I wear this.
mel15091989 – :
I like it much more than the original,is more sugary….It has sugary mint in it,sweet scent which is make it lovely!!!!! I think is very unique scent
259 – :
A blind buy made because it was heavily discounted and I remember not minding the original, and the verdict: meh. The frenzy of a sale always overrides my common sense, damn it!
There is something in this that is an almost human smell, kind of dirty, maybe the cashmeran? Whatever it is, I need to identify it asap because it is yuck. This dirty smell and a kind of syrupy dampness are what I get initially. The pepper comes through, but doesn’t blend well, and sticks in your throat. Fortunately once this dies down it becomes more pleasant and almost musky, but I can’t see myself wearing this. I’ll give it another chance and then will be putting my 100mL up for swap, I’d say.
arche – :
i buy this perfume for my mom as a gift for her birtday.
mom said that smell is too sweet and i like when my mom use this perfume.
smell like floral, fruity and sugar..
Megastar – :
Gioia Essenza is better on my skin than the original one. I don’t know why but this fragrance just won’t react with my skin PH in a good way. It smells too spicy and too fresh not in a pleasant way even when it dries down. I think it a nice perfume but it’s just not my thing.
vih – :
already tried this.. the bottle is nice!
i spritzed on my wrist once, it only lasted for 2-3 hours, 4 tops. it’s soft and fresh, yes.. but it has some kind of metal-ish scent to my nose ~ maybe due to my body chemistry.
the opening notes of AdGE weren’t as strong as AdG, and however i think it’s more suitable for men.
nikogdasiki – :
Oh… Do you know this feeling when a lady wants to smell like handsome gentleman but… Like female in the same time? Well, Essenza does it. Wonderful.
AnDead_RR – :
Gorgeous scent. On my skin: Dewy Jasmine note takes center stage, amidst aquatic notes, sugar cubes and the other notes. Dry down is woody, bitter and sweet.
Potent smell, almost dizzying if smelt too close. I want one, anyway.
Edit: I figured the cashmere wood note in this made it really woody and kinda odd. Acqua di gioia already has a semi synthetic aquatic note and when it is mixed with the cashmere wood note, it kinda unnerves me. I loved the top and heart notes, though. I think this is just me because my body loved to amplify woody, musky scent and I’m not someone who enjoys such scents…
Aleksei37 – :
This one is realy beautiful but very strong.
it is infact a bit hard to wear becase off the slightly piersing minty,peppery crisp opening. im shure there is other things mixing the top notes aswell. bt this are the most prominent.
its a very delicios fresh sugary mint drink . bt added to mch mint it will be a bit ower the top.. This is a bit like i feal right away. its a bit overwelming..
i have it on my hand trying to sniff it cause i wanted somthing minty fresh . yes this wafts around me like a breaze off freshness. bt when i get my hand up to my nose its to much and slightly cloying almost..
i was just outside ff the house doing some pre gardening stuff and this follows me and lingers in my nose all the way.. so thi is realy some potent stuff
I think this might be a little to much to put on more then a few sprits . because it will make you dissy..
to bad realy that it is so potent. it might be better tamed just a little bit.. the cedarwood and cashmer .lemon and sugar makes it realy nice and the mix is so so beautiful .. just be carefull and not put on to much at the time . This one lasts a long long time aswell
obsem – :
As I wrote here before I can’t find this version in anywhere.
I wish so much to know where I could find it to try and smell it. 🙁
jangke2 – :
Very fresh opening, I can feel the mint and the pink pepper tops. After 10 minutes on my skin left a little pepper, flowers and woods.At least I can’t smell lemon or sugar at all, but maybe is my skin, that eats them. Very nice fragrance for the hot summer days.
сухов – :
just wondering how come musk isn’t listed in notes!it’s definitely a fresh musky scent.it has so many things in common with the original perfume,but the long lasting power and sillage are much better.the sugar is less touchable,instead there’s something strange which can be the combination of woods.whatever it is,I’m not sure I can tolerate it for a long time.but it’s uplifting to smell it from time to time.
fkv492JeomiWogkig – :
this frag has a very strong floral and fresh openning. the heart is sweet and the jasmin is strong and a little spicy. the drydown is like dried floral leaves and woody earthy smell
glok77 – :
This on me is very sweet.
I’m ‘meh’ on it, but maybe if the pepper had came out to play it would be a bit different.
It does smell good enough for a spring summer scent, if someone so choose it.
Longevity is decent, I smelled the spot I sprayed on my hand for 5-6 hours. I only used one spray but seemed that sillage was about arms length. More sprays though would be really annoying on me.
Inkov_Timur – :
Clearly I’m the only person in the world who this doesn’t suit, judging by how much love it gets on here.
I thought ‘essence’ was supposed to smell fresh and light?!
On me, this just turns rancid… like bad, slightly pissy (I think) BO and/or rotting meat. Something vile, anyway.
After about half an hour or so, it tempers down to a colder (as in unfriendly, I think), more clinical, more powdery and much less sweet version of the original.
Pepper, sugar and lemon seem to be what I’m getting now, 3 hours later.
Ah well, I’ve tried it now.
dolpotron – :
Very spicy/woody to me. I def prefer the original. It’s nice and smooth though. It’s deep and interesting, just to masculine for my taste.
BEVPRO73 – :
sparkling peppery and mint effect on top. has more cooling effect than the original.
sashugah – :
Yesterday got the bottle 100ml – it’s a bottle of my personal joy. I just love it from the beginnig to the end.
The most strong notes for my nose are pepper, than goes jasmine, after it – mint and sugar, covered with cashmeran. Lemon notes are not so harsh as it feels in Aqua di Gioa, casmeran makes this perfume more suitable for brunettes – it keep saying “hot-hot-hot” after 6 hours of wearing this perfume. The base notes of origin Aqua say only “im fresh&flowery” and the sillage isnt so potent – imho, more suitable for blondies.
When my sis(brown-haired) wears Aqua di Gioa, it opens more flowery and sweet, on me instead(Im brunette) – warm and sweet-spicy.
Totally pleased!
сергей1982 – :
I have a sample of it and it’s really strong deep floral and I think it can be a unisex
Alecs9831 – :
I was interested in a nice opening, very fuity, almost apple-like. But then came a heavy indole and a killer mint. Sticky, loud, annoying. Like a slap in the face from a lady that wishes to be playful with you, but overdoes it and knocks you out.
GrishaMezen – :
I never thought I will love this kind of scent. I come across it, wow! the scent is so fresh but it’s not fresh in sour citrus, I get a feeling of something cool, calm and feminine at the same time and looking at the ad is really suitable. When I first smell I think about white flowers fall from the waterfall down the river. The drydown is a bit sweet, something smooth and delicate because of sugary scent but it doesn’t make it cloying. I’m not good at describing the scent but I can tell that it’s very very good balanced between fresh, sweet, calm, cool, and luxurious. I’m much in love with this Essenza!
gasalex – :
I also would like to know where is available to buy.
Can’t find it!!!
Please any information will be appreciated. 🙂

why i wear this giorgio armani essenza but my friends can’t smell from me..i buy the original perfume,is it because of my body chemistry not suitable for me..??

I got a sample of this a few weeks ago. I like the opening of AdG but the sugar note is a real killer for me. I cannot tolerate it. Once the opening freshness fades to sugar I have to wash it off!
Oceaksisax – :
This week I was going to smell some perfumes that I had already in mind, but I never try the ones I want to try, when I am going to a perfume store I think for example: “I really need to try jean paul gaultier The EDT and the EDP classique” I am very curious about those, but I couldn´t find them so I saw this one and I am glad I did not find those 2, otherwhise I wouldn´t try this amazing fragrance. But this happens me all the time, I can´t ever find what Iam looking for, I could call a employe, but since now I don´t buy almost anything in stores, I prefer not to call anyone, just smell, and leave lool, then I order on-line(like many of us do, I suppose)Now I´ll get back to the ESSENZA I wasn´t expecting much since I don´t really give a shi** for the original acqua di gioia (wich I own),so I tought it was something simmilar,NOT AT ALL, at least not in me, I really like this one It´s really awsome, For those who can´t find it avaiable in stores, I recommend a Blind Buy definelly!! And it as a very good sillage and longetivity lasts many hours.. I hope I can get one some day 🙂
оля13 – :
I love this one.
For me it’s hypnotic and has a wondurful quality: it’s fresh and deep at the same time, with a good lasting power.
Sweet but not too sweet/vanilla/gourmet, and in my opinion better and less girly than the first Acqua di gioia.
speedi_gonshik – :
Instantly fell in love with this one. It smells really fresh, the staying power is really good. A little goes a long way. Will be purchasing the larger bottle for sure!
mihei – :
What stores have this? I have seen a bottle that is “silver”- but it doesn’t say Essenza. It is a limited edition. Is this the same?- or different? Thanks for any info.
yuraha1991 – :
I agree with Kittycat63, Acqua di Gioia smells fresh, airy, and clean, not too aquatic but kind of like a sea breeze, not for me but it’s a bright perfume and (this is totally subjective) but I feel like describing someone who’d wear it, sporty comes to mind.
shiryaev – :
it is really perfect 🙂 actually for my nose they are veru smilar, maybe Essenza is a bit deeper and stronger, butt they are almost the same! If i would have to choose, I would take this one 😉
FeasseNeext – :
Una fragranza calda,rassicurante,quasi ipnotica. Va dosata pero’, 2 spruzzi al massimo e a “nuvola”, la sera anche 3 ma non di piu’. Cosi’puo’ esprimersi al meglio con l’essenza naturale di ciascuno, senza coprirla.Dopo un’ora dà il meglio di sé.
hhgiqjju – :
i had a sample of it and i really like it, it holds really good,
freedom1796 – :
I just got a sample vial/EDP of this fragrance, and I love it at first smell. One of my favorite floral scents is jasmine, but I first get an impression of the aromatic woody musky base notes of cashmeran which combines wonderfully well with the gorgeous aroma of the jasmin. In my opinion this fragrance is better than the original Aqua di Gio, and also suitable for fall weather, due to the added earthy element of the cashmeran. Beautiful fragrance!
MAX984 – :
Sweeter, smoother, fruitier and less cedar-ish than the original. Nice but boring. To me it smells like a very mean girl would smell.. For some reason (I don’t even know mean girls in my surrounding).
1668930 – :
While spritzing myself feverishly around a perfume section in a department store the other day a male sales assistant proffered a Giorgio Armani perfume strip and told me that it was a new scent that was light and fresh, etc, and that he thought I may like it! Well, how nice of him and he was right – I did like it very much, and I’m pretty sure that this is the perfume that was spritzed on the perfume strip!
It smells clean, fresh, airy and a little sweet, but not aquatic. It’s along the lines of Polo Sport, which I quite like but don’t love, but to me smells better because, thanks to the sugar, it’s not as tart and ‘cold’ smelling. It would be great as an everyday, ‘go to’ type of scent and I definitely wouldn’t mind getting a bottle of this!
EmTatyana – :
I have the perfume and it is really nice~ I love it!!! The bottle is also very chic~ All I can say is it’s really wonderful~

My favorite ingredient is pink pepper.
This new fragrance looks like will be awesome. I WiSH!!!
And I will try it!
I LOVE the original one. It is in my top 5.
dokker – :
I love the original and will definitely try this when available. The bottle is really pretty. I hope this new one is not totally floral.
AbnommaSonjar – :
Based on the notes of latest releases of perfumes i have noticed that pepper note is becoming a new trend. There has been quite many already featuring pepper or pink pepper notes.
I have tried it and love it! Reminds me of Escada´s summer scent but the pepper is adding a nice vibe to it and the lasting power is good. opens up quite fruity and juicy but melts into something floral-fruity -spicy…
very tasty! And better to my nose than the original one.
