Tonnerre, originally called 1805 - the year in which Nelson both won the Battle of Trafalgar and lost his life: The year in which Sir Francis Beaufort introduced his ‘wind force scale’.

The scent imagines moments within the battle itself.  Powerful accords of smoke, gunpowder, blood and brandy combine with sea spray and a penetrating citrus note. The fragrance is singularly bold in its composition, yet ultimately refined, provocative and unique.

Versi is an olfactory study in three chapters. Versi explores and enjoys the wonderful correspondences between Perfume and Poetry. The third and last of the three studies is Albatros Eau de Parfum inspired by the poem of the same name by Charles Baudelaire (1821-1867). The poem was published in the collection Les Fleurs du mal. It is indeed the second poem of the collection (first edition: 1857). It is found in the first of the books six sections, which has the title: Spleen et Idéal.

About Acqua di Giò Profondo Lights by Giorgio Armani

How does Acqua di Giò Profondo Lights differ from these similar fragrances?
Acqua di Giò Profondo Lights uniquely balances aromatic aquatic freshness with woody, resinous, and herbal complexity including lavender extract and patchouli. Many of the listed fragrances focus more narrowly on either marine freshness, woody smokiness, or spicy warmth, but do not replicate the full layered character of the reference.
Which notes define the aromatic aquatic family?
Aromatic aquatic fragrances typically combine fresh marine or sea salt accords with aromatic herbs like rosemary and cypress, alongside citrus and woody base notes. This creates a clean, fresh scent evocative of the sea and surrounding vegetation.
Can these fragrances be worn year-round or are they seasonal?
Many aromatic aquatic fragrances are versatile and suitable for warmer months due to their fresh and clean profile, but some with smoky or resinous notes, such as Tonnerre or Everveil, can also work well in cooler weather.
