Acqua

Acqua

Acqua draws inspiration from the fountains of the Grotta degli Animali at Villa Medicea di Castello, commissioned by Grand Duke Cosimo I in 1539. This aquatic floral fragrance captures the sparkling water and delicate blossoms of that wondrous grotto, translating its timeless beauty into a contemporary scent.

About This Fragrance

Acqua is an eau de parfum from the I Giardini Medicei collection, celebrating the harmony of water and flowers. It opens with the crisp juiciness of pear, then unfolds into the pristine blossoms of freesia and lotus, evoking a serene water garden. A soft musk base envelops the composition, creating a sense of lightness and joy, as if standing beside a marble fountain in a Medici garden in spring.
