Acqua di Parma Blu Mediterraneo - Arancia La Spugnatura

Acqua di Parma Blu Mediterraneo Arancia La Spugnatura presents a bright, juicy orange opening that captures the essence of a fresh, sun-ripened citrus with a quick burst of mandarin and lemon. The scent feels crisp and vibrant initially, resembling a realistic, shower-fresh orange peel moment. Over time, the fragrance evolves into a subtle woody-musky base with notes of bitter almond and black pepper, adding a slight spiciness and depth that makes it feel more structured than the original Arancia di Capri. Despite the core similarity between the two, this version is perceived as slightly more full-bodied and slightly better sustained in performance, though still weak in longevity and sillage. The dry down is soft and pleasant, with cedar and musk offering a hint of freshness without a lasting trail. It’s best suited for warm days in spring and summer, offering a light, refreshing presence that wears intimate. While the fragrance captures a lovely, natural citrus moment, it lacks lasting power and intensity, making it reliant on repeated application or decanting for consistent impact.
