Arcipelago Women Acqua dell Elba for women

Bought this perfume whilst on holiday in Florence after walking past their store. It’s a really lovely scent and a nice one to have in my collection although I wouldn’t say it’s anything particularly unusual.

This is a warm scent of sunny late summer meadow. Some flowers are dry and some are still blooming full of sweet pollen. It fits the summer but also brings joy to cold and bleak days. It's more natural than clean. Like some of that dried vegetation already started to damp and decompose a little (in a good sense like a hay with some morning dew remains).

Being a fan of Cinema for the past 10-ish years, it seems quite expectable to find myself loving this perfume. Discovered the boutique by chance, never having even heard of the brand, and just decided to randomly test a couple of their offerings. Walked out to observe how the scents develop in time, and Oh my God! This is Cinema! Not exactly the same, more like a lighter version like Festival d'Ete, but totally bright and fresh in the sunshine! Purchased it right away.
It has the same zingy citrusy start, soft floral heart and a soft powdery base. Really loving this right now in the summer. What a find! Will be repurchased.

This perfume reminds mi a Amouage Sunshine.. No joke.. This is softer Amouage with a citrus opening. If Amouage is too strong for you or not affordable, this is an excellent option... I bought it as soon as I tried it.I love it!

It would be quite nice if it didn’t have that sweet note that every commercial modern fragrance is ruined by.

It shouldn’t be sweet because no sweet notes are listed other than the citrus but, usually, citrus does equate to sweet.

It’s quite nice, tbh, just not great. Smells like other sweet modern fragrances.

This is absolutely delicious! Sweet, warm, citrusy flowers! One for daily wear, and I just can not see anyone be offended by it at all! So pleasant, fun and feminine!
I just have a sample but will need a full bottle! Instant love for sure!

Arcipelago is a very rich & attractive perfume. It's not very bold, it's not particularly 'modern,' but it certainly is a perfume with a twist. The citrus is really mild, and the middle notes are very pleasant, so it opens up and stays on you. In one word, it's classy to wear. Sillage is moderate.

I checked out a whole shelf of this manufacturer in Ventimiglia, and I must say that I loved all Acqua Dell'Elba perfumes, both for men and women. There's some warmth about them that I don't find in the majority of other scents nowadays. These can be compared to French Grasse profumeries. Stylish bottles & very gentle perfumes. Distinctly Mediterranean. I don't know how they've managed to create a same-type line with all their scents being so different, yet so much alike in style and this unique marine warmth.

I love Arcipelago & Blu, and I rarely like different perfumes by one manufacturer, they all seem too pretentious for me, so I only look for rare finds. Check Arcipelago out, you might also love it!

PS I finally got a big bottle of this, and everybody around loves this scent. It's so unique. I'm thrilled.

Acqua dell'Elba is produced on Isola d'Elba, the magnificent island off the coast of Tuscany... you smell the rosemary, the lentisk and the salted sea-water... It tells a story of sun-kissed shores and lush, scented flora...It is the Med in a bottle.

Wow, I'm the first one reviewing this!
Arcipelago is a fresh and delicious Mediterranean fragrance, it's the SAME as Cinema Festival d'Eté by YSL so you can imagine how well done it is.
It shares the same herbal rosemary and clary sage opening and the same vanilla and almond blossom heart typical of Cinema and its flankers. It's actually a fresh and summery version of Cinema so if you like that, you will surely enjoy Arcipelago as well.
From the notes you'd say it's more on the citrus and woody side, but for me it's fresh, aromatic and vanillic, overall a very pleasant fragrance.
Sillage and longevity are moderate.
Definitely good stuff!
