Acqua

Roberto Cavalli Acqua dupe, inspired by the original

Roberto Cavalli released Acqua in 2013, a light, fresh floral with an aquatic touch, made to feel like a breath of clean air. This fragrance has since been discontinued, which is part of why our interpretation exists, to keep the scent within reach.

The Story Behind the Scent

Cavalli built Acqua around freshness and softness, a clean floral that is easy to love. Orange and bergamot open it bright and citrusy, jasmine and violet give a soft, watery floral heart, and a light base of cedarwood and musk keeps it clean. It is simple and pretty, an everyday kind of fresh.

How Our Version Compares to the Original

We do not claim this is identical, because no interpretation is. What we have built follows the same fresh aquatic floral signature of the original, rebuilt at up to 40% perfume oil so it projects clearly early on and lingers longer than a typical spray. A little goes a long way.

Who It’s For

It suits anyone who likes a light, fresh floral for daytime and everyday. It is at its best in spring and summer, feminine and easy.
