Gelsomino a Freddo
Gelsomino a Freddo by Acqua di Parma is an unisex eau de parfum in the premium price tier. It opens with lemon, pink pepper and artemisia, moves into jasmine, black tea and iris and dries down to guaiac wood, patchouli and cypriol. Expect around 7 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Lemon Clean, sour, instantly recognisable. Bright but burns off fast.
- Pink Pepper Fizzy, rosy and bright. Adds sparkle without heat.
- Artemisia Bitter and silvery-herbal. Wormwood, the backbone of a fougère.
Heart
- Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
- Black Tea Dry, tannic and smoky. More astringent than green tea.
- Iris Cool, powdery, slightly carroty and expensive. The luxury note.
Dry-down
- Guaiac Wood Smoky, tarry and slightly sweet. Like a bonfire and roses.
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Cypriol Also called nagarmotha. Smoky, leathery, earthy — a vetiver relative.
