Acqua E Zucchero

Profumum Roma Acqua e Zucchero dupe, inspired by the original

Profumum Roma’s Acqua e Zucchero takes its name from the Italian remedy of water and sugar, and it smells just as comforting, a soft, sweet blend of orange blossom, vanilla and berries. Our interpretation carries that character in a long lasting Eau de Parfum, made in the EU.

The Story Behind the Scent

Profumum Roma builds simple, powerful ideas, and Acqua e Zucchero is pure comfort. Orange blossom and a touch of strawberry open it soft and sweet, vanilla and raspberry warm the heart, and a base of amber and musk keeps it cosy. It smells gentle, sugary and reassuring.

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 sweet gourmand 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 loves a soft, sweet, comforting scent. It is at its best in autumn and winter and in the evening, and it wears as a unisex fragrance.
