Perfumes and fragrances: perfumes Acqua Del Garda

The fragrances and scents section features perfume sprays from Acqua Del Garda, an Italian brand from Verona that bottles the essence of Lake Garda: absolute jasmine, olive and fig, peach and neroli, grape seeds and spices, sweet notes, intense citrus. Bright fragrances for everyday wear.

Acqua Del Garda, a scented lake

Acqua Del Garda was born in Verona, just a few kilometers from Lake Garda, the largest lake in Italy. The brand draws its ingredients from its shores: lemon trees, olive groves, vineyards, and flowering gardens.

Each bottle seeks to capture a feeling of holiday, a light, and a scent of the end of the day by the water.

The numbered eaux de parfum

No.1, grape seeds and spices

No.1 evokes the vineyards surrounding the lake, with a fruity note warmed by spices. It’s the warmest fragrance in the range, perfect for autumn and winter.

No.2, olive and fig

No.2 combines the greenness of fig leaves with the softness of olive. A green and sunny note that recalls the region's hills.

No.3, sweet accord

No.3 focuses on roundness and sweetness for a enveloping and discreet fragrance.

No.4, peach and neroli

No.4 marries the fruity scent of peach with the freshness of neroli, the flower of the bitter orange. A bright note, perfect for sunny days.

Absolute jasmine and intense citrus

Outside the numbering, the eau de parfum Absolute Jasmine highlights an intense and sensual white flower. Intense Citrus plays on freshness, with sparkling notes that wake you up in the morning.

Eau de parfum or eau de toilette?

The eau de parfum is more concentrated than eau de toilette: it lasts longer on the skin and leaves a more pronounced trail. A few sprays are enough for the day.

Eau de toilette, being lighter, is applied more often. It is suitable for hot weather or for those who prefer discreet fragrances.

Choosing your scent family

Floral: absolute jasmine, for a feminine and intense fragrance.
Citrus: intense citrus, for freshness.
Fruity: peach and neroli, grape seeds and spices.
Green: olive and fig, for a natural note.

A fragrance for every season

In summer, the notes of citrus, peach, and neroli remain light despite the heat. In winter, No.1 with spices or absolute jasmine become rounder on skin covered with a jumper.

Many keep two bottles, one for each season.

How to test a fragrance?

A fragrance evolves on the skin: the top notes fade in a few minutes, then come the heart and base notes. Wait a moment before judging a scent.

Test it directly on the wrist rather than on a paper strip: each skin reveals the fragrance in its own way.

Where to apply your fragrance?

Spray it on pulse points: the neck, inside of the wrists, the crook of the elbows. The body's warmth helps to diffuse the fragrance.

Avoid rubbing the wrists together: this speeds up the evaporation of the top notes.

Making your fragrance last

A fragrance lasts better on hydrated skin. Apply a neutral cream or one from the same family before you perfume yourself. A spray on your hair or a scarf also extends the trail.

Fragrance at work

In the office, a fragrance should be worn subtly: one or two sprays in the morning are enough, so as not to overwhelm an open space. Notes of citrus or olive and fig remain discreet and pleasant all day long.

Storing your bottle

Light, heat, and air can damage a fragrance. Store your bottle out of direct sunlight, away from the humid bathroom, with the cap tightly closed. It will keep its notes longer.
