My Review
There aren’t many super fresh and spring like fragrances I love, because I am all about the deeper, darker fragrances out there on the market, but I absolutely love this one.
On first spritz, it reminded of me of Atelier Cologne’s Clementine California which I used to adore (and is sadly no longer available in the UK). Buongiorno is fresh and super juicy like Clementine California yet it has more depth and more of a grounding creamy smoothness, which makes it appealing in completely different way.
I find Acqua di Parma Buongiorno so uplifting and motivating. It’s literally like spritzing sunshine and it’s so juicy and vibrant and sunny.
The addition of spearmint is really interesting and it’s not a note that I thought I’d like in a citrussy scent, but I really love the crispness it gives, that’s refreshing without being overpowering.
As it develops, the floral heart starts to peep through with a hint of lavender which I absolutely love, and it stays juicy with mandarin leaves which have an intense citrus vibe with floral undertones.
The fragrance settles beautifully into its soft woody base and it’s super skin-like and creamy with cedarwood, amber, and white musk. It’s lovely and comforting and the citrus becomes softer and more soothing. It really all works so nicely together – soft and super wearable.
I find it lasts really well on my skin and I can still smell it maybe 5 or 6 hours later which I think is pretty impressive for something so airy and fresh. It’s one of those scents you can spritz generously in the morning and still catch little whiffs of throughout the day.
I absolutely love the yellow bottle. It’s as sunny as the fragrance it holds inside and it feels super luxe.
