Fico La Riserva
Fico La Riserva by Acqua di Parma is an unisex eau de parfum in the premium price tier. It opens with mandarin, blood orange, grapefruit and lemon, moves into orris root and fig and dries down to tonka bean, musk and orcanox. Expect around 7 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Mandarin Soft, sweet, almost powdery citrus. Gentler than orange.
- Blood Orange Orange with a red-fruit edge. Richer and slightly jammy.
- Grapefruit Bitter, slightly sweaty citrus. More grown-up than lemon.
- Lemon Clean, sour, instantly recognisable. Bright but burns off fast.
Heart
- Orris Root Iris root aged for years. Buttery, powdery, unmistakably refined.
- Fig Green, milky and jammy at once. One of the most interesting fruits in perfume.
Dry-down
- Tonka Bean Almond, hay and vanilla in one. Warm and slightly nutty.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
- Orcanox A modern ambergris molecule. Salty, woody and very long-lasting on skin.
