ACQUA FIORENTINA, THE ENCORE


CREED

Fruity/Floral

Top Notes: Lightly sweet greengage plum (dessert plum), Diamond Jubilee Apples, Pruneau
Heart Notes: Renaissance Roses, White Carnations, Florentine Pear, Sicilian Bergamot and                                       Calabrian Lemons
Base Notes: Virginia Cedar, Indian Sandalwood, White Grapefruit.

Oliver Creed (sixth generation master perfumer) at CREED in Paris presents this Eau de Parfum as a gift to his American audience, Acqua Fiorentina The Encore. The original was not available in the USA. As a special touch to the creation, Mr. Creed added Diamond Jubilee Apples to the blend honoring The Royal Year 2012.

On me, this is fruity and slightly floral. Very lovely and an easy wear. These fruit notes are juicy, not too sweet, not too tart. The fruits are right there in the middle of both. The two floral notes are perfect in this composition. As the base notes of Sandalwood and Cedar become apparent, they are subtle, adding depth. Then the surprise is the juicy white grapefruit revealing itself in the base. If you love fruity parfums, then this one is sure to delight you. No, not a sweet teenagers fruity fragrance. This one is grown up and classy. The house of CREED, has created another lovely Eau de Parfum. To tell the truth, I would expect nothing less from this Parfum House with their history of creations for Royalty and the famous throughout their existence.
