L'Acquarossa Elixir
by Fendi
L'Acquarossa Elixir by Fendi presents a bold, complex composition centered on a tart sour cherry that forms a sharp, almost medicinal opening, soon softened by creamy vanilla and a rich, blooming tuberose heart. The fragrance evolves into a mature, elegant floral-woody elixir with subtle hints of lantana and spice, giving it depth and a slightly gourmand, almost liqueur-like sensuality. It is not a gaudy, overwhelming scent; rather, it unfolds with quiet intensity, creating a layered and intimate experience that lingers well. The drydown reveals a smooth, powdery vanilla and woody base that feels balanced and dignified, avoiding the cloying sweetness often found in fruity florals. It wears best as a sultry evening scent in cooler months, offering moderate sillage and strong lasting power on skin.
