Essence D'eau Perfume by Gianfranco Ferre, Essence D'eau is a sophisticated perfume designed for charming, intelligent women. The fragrance was launched in 2003 as an elegant option for the modern woman. The main accords blend feminine florals and earthy woods to create a memorable scent. The top notes create a clean template for the rest of the fragrance. It starts with notes of neroli, cedar flower, kumquat skin, violet and blackberry. These scents are quickly replaced by a brighter, sweeter heart full of rose, narcissus and jasmine notes. The finish of the perfume creates a sensual, warm end to the lighthearted aroma with base notes of vanilla, amber and musk.
