“On my frequent travels around Italy I’m always struck by the typical scents of the Mediterranean countryside, where the intoxicating perfume of the maquis and the trees blends with the invigorating sea breeze. I tried to recreate the same sensation with acqua wood, combining the intensity of wood with a fresh, vibrant aroma; the effect is underscored by sensual ambroxan” – Daphne Bugey, perfumer.

@gvd I definitely see what you’re saying. IMO Acqua Wood is a similar woody balsamic scent but is more fresh and less dense than the Lalique.
For me is a great alternative for in hot weather when Encre Noire A L’extreme is just too much.

I would say this is Encre Noire A L’Extreme but in a different bottle. And thus a well blended woody fragrance with certainly vetiver as a base note.

It’s the mediocre packaging and unknown brand that stopped me from buying it a few days ago at Brussels Airport. I had never heard of Collistar, and the packaging didn’t convince me at all this had a place in my collection – even though the fragrance definitely impressed me.

This one is stunning, I can’t bealive I can’t find a single review for this gem. One of the most under rated fragrance I know.
Very versatile woody fragrance, better than all He Wood line IMO. Reminds me of a fall sunny day, hiking through a Transylvanian forest. Can’t wait till tomorrow to get a bottle.
