Acqua SantaGreen Floral Eau de Parfum

Acqua Santa by Linari is a green floral aromatic eau de parfum, unisex, created by Maurice Roucel. Patchouli in the top note, which you never see coming.

German precision, Italian elegance

Linari Finest Fragrances is a German house founded in 2001 by Rainer Diersche, an industrial designer trained in engineering and passionate about Italian design. The name comes from the Tuscan village of Linari — which explains why a German house gives all its perfumes Italian titles. It started with home fragrances, being a pioneer of reed diffusers, before moving on to personal fragrances in 2008. Rainer Diersche designs the bottles himself, closed with a wenge wood cap.

An opening of blackcurrant bud and patchouli

The blackcurrant bud opens with its green acidity and slightly sulfurous edge, with green notes, bergamot and coriander. And the patchouli arrives right at the top — a base material by nature, placed here at the opening.

A heart of lily of the valley, cyclamen and ylang-ylang

The lily of the valley and the cyclamen bring the aqueous freshness, the ylang-ylang, the jasmine and the rose the opulence. A complete white bouquet, between the green of the start and the sweetness of the base.

A base of caramel, musk and Virginia cedar

The caramel closes the composition — the only gourmand note of a green and floral fragrance. The musk, the Virginia cedar and the tonka bean ensure the longevity and roundness.

The house's signature touch

Patchouli at the top, and a caramel in a floral green. Two unconventional decisions signed by Maurice Roucel, the creator of Musc Ravageur and 24 Faubourg. Patchouli at the opening immediately gives earthiness to a start that would otherwise be volatile; caramel in the base brings a gourmandness that no note of the journey announced. It is a composition that remains clear while being built upside down.

For whom, for what occasions?

For those who love floral greens and are looking for a freshness that has body. From spring to autumn, during the day. Acqua Santa by Linari is the most surprising of the eleven.
