Aqva Divina

Aqva Divina is a distinctive, airy aquatic scent that evokes the sensation of sun-warmed sand and sea spray. It opens with a bright, spirited blend of bergamot, ginger, and salt, creating a vibrant, slightly spicy top note that feels both refreshing and characterful. As it settles, the saltiness becomes more nuanced, balanced by a soft, creamy honeyed warmth from beeswax and amber, along with a faintly floral presence of magnolia and quince. The fragrance is not overtly sweet or fruity but carries a subtle honeyed sugariness, especially on the skin, which harmonizes with the initially bold salty and spicy notes. Longevity is moderate, typically lasting around 4 to 5 hours with a soft, intimate sillage. It’s inherently unisex in character but leans feminine in general wear, with some finding it more masculine due to the strong ginger and salty opening. It performs best in warm weather and on skin that naturally emits some heat, where its dry, salty wood notes come alive. Some find the salt forwardness overwhelming or even headache-inducing, adding to the polarizing nature of the scent.
