"produced in collaboration with Olivier and Erwin Creed, Acqua Fiorentina is the interpretation given by the father-son team of the era of 'rebirth', which had an enormous effect on ' art, literature and education of Western Civilization. " So the press release announcing the latest fragrance by Creed produced by the French company.
is to imagine the smell of Lorenzo de 'Medici and the ladies of his court: young bodies, washed in baths of Porretta and sprinkled with rose water, distilled essence of iris by the monks of Santa Maria Novella, rosemary' s Queen of Hungary water, maybe some first experiment with bergamot and lavender, which he later gave rise to the Water of Cologne. And then there will have been the hot smell of horses, the smell and the new leather scrolls of ancient manuscripts, recovered from the libraries of the convents, a little 'incense-soaked and moldy. And we are surprised by the strange fumes of sulfur, saltpeter and other gadgets used by alchemists, perhaps there was some attempt new to distill essences, led by a young man named Leonardo and the original was from the village of Vinci.
olfactory charm of this level and quality could lead to a truly innovative fragrance, a "Renaissance" art of perfumery, olfactory version of Botticelli's Primavera. is to imagine the smell of Lorenzo de 'Medici and the ladies of his court: young bodies, washed in baths of Porretta and sprinkled with rose water, distilled essence of iris by the monks of Santa Maria Novella, rosemary' s Queen of Hungary water, maybe some first experiment with bergamot and lavender, which he later gave rise to the Water of Cologne.

water instead Fiorentina (name probably decided by a marketing expert) is a simple floral fruity, typical of the turn of the century (the nineties), harmless, unable to arouse intense passions and dislikes. Okay as a summer scent for a girl who does not want to bother anyone and is willing to spend € 130 for something you can buy less than a tenth. (***)
Dewberry's Body Shop, in fact, is an honest and fruity floral oil from about € 10, but for some reason I have not yet figured out, I send a lot more fun and energy. Perhaps it is because it opens with a very joyful note of red fruit and grapefruit. Maybe it's just because I remember the summer of 1990 I spent in London in total freedom. Or simply, it is happiness to have saved 120 €.
Certainly, Dewberry is strangely memorable. A few months ago, I received a text message from a girl who had not seen for at least fifteen years old, asks: "What's that perfume you used in college? I heard about a chick on the subway and I felt like buying it. "
Someone is such a thing never happened, emblazoned with a fragrance and expensive?
