Acqua Di Selva Eau De Cologne, 100 milliliters

Product Information

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. The experience of Romance is similar to the experience of this picture for me, and really gets me a bit nostalgic. I wouldn't use this in social settings or romantic evenings unless your company has a particular taste for stuff from this era. A couple or three sprays in an office setting would give you a crisp, clean, and confident scent, that would last through most of the day.

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. I will never stop wearing it and the only time I do wear it is when the temperature outside is 90 degrees or above. Over time, it grows spicier and damp-grassy-woody, and it just feels like the paragon of old world masculinity.

Acqua di Silva is a classic Fougere perfume which, like no other, reproduces the scent of the forest, without smelling like a bath additive. But the middle notes are, overall, similar to the rest of the fragrance itself: dry, herbaceous, slightly green. Fast forward to 2013, and I'm experiencing enjoyment of all things related to the wet-shaving hobby.

NOTE: As a seller, you are solely responsible for the legitimacy of the product, and its images and descriptions. Acqua di Silva is certainly not a shelf life or Sillage monster, but I find 6-7 hours for an Eau de Cologne a very respectable value. The heart is carnation and clary sage with some geranium to add more metallic brightness in an age before aldehydes were used in that way for masculines, but the base is where the main character lives. It is not a distasteful cologne in any way, but in my humble opinion they just don't make it like they used to.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. 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. You won’t really notice any difference between a product purchased from Perfume’s Club and a product purchased from a seller in our new Marketplace. I always look at those "it ain't made like the old stuff" style reviews with a degree of skepticism. After the fragrance settles a bit, touches of carnation, geranium make themselves known along with a wonderful musky cedar base.

Give this scent a few sprays before a late morning brunch with friends on a terrace when the sun shines as much as the smiles on your friends faces. Projection is subtle, a decent country gentleman does not assault others with his fragrance, and longevity good. The camphorous pine steeped in lemon that is its fanfare may be repellent to those accustomed to creamy-dreamy pseudo-tonka pralines, but I live for it. Dry spicy notes, such as basil, thyme, rosemary and rose geranium underlain by various woods take over the command. The cologne always got me a favorable response from women of all ages, and always made me happy to put on.Acqua di Selva (1949) would become a staple grooming scent to Italians upon release, eventually floating over to the US in the 1950's after the success of competitor Pino Silvestri (1955) in its cute little pine cone bottle. 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. This was my father's fragrance of choice, and it was added to my arsenal in high school in the early 90's. 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".

Acqua Di Selva by Visconte Di Modrone Eau De Cologne For Men

There is a very strictly clean helping of lemon oil, camphor, and some taut English lavender, reminding me much of a component in Avon's Structured for Man (1969) vanity set (see the Steel component). OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 requires textiles-based products to be tested against a list of 1,000+ chemicals, to limit those which may be harmful to human health.This sometimes-minty and sometimes-piney but always-green genre has come and gone throughout the 20th century, taking up shades of fougère or chypre as need be, with the pencil shavings dryness of Acqua di Selva mostly conforming to the latter. Have added several aftershaves and colognes to my collection - especially those of timeless appeal like Acqua di Selva.
