Acqua dell'Elba launched Altrove in 2016 — and it was a brilliant move. A masculine fragrance belonging to the east family. The fragrance belongs to the Essenza di un'Isola collection. Released in eau de parfum.
Country of origin — Italy. Altrove Acqua dell'Elba — the choice of those who appreciate depth and character in every detail.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Perfumes for the fall and winter seasons often contain notes of vanilla, spices, ambergris, wood, and other warm accords, creating a feeling of comfort and warmth during the cold months
The note pyramid of Altrove unfolds as an expressive line of development, where layers reveal themselves with precision and warmth. The creative approach of Acqua dell'Elba is recognizable in the way notes appear and fade. Nothing here feels random, and the fragrance holds its character from opening to trail. Eau de parfum supports a balanced rhythm of unfolding.
The internal accord map rests on these accords: Balsamic, Floral, Fruit and Wood forming a compact and readable structure. Secondary accord layers such as Powdery and Leather add depth to the backdrop. The profile is masculine, which makes the scent profile easier to read.
In the top tier you meet clean cedar top notes: Cypress, Iris and Juniper.
In the middle phase you meet Jasmine, Leather accord, Rose and Tobacco keeping a silky white floral direction.
From the group perspective the composition is built around Wood, Floral, Whiteflower and Leather. It also reaches into Balsamic, Fruit and Gourmet. From a family perspective the fragrance belongs to East.
Overall Altrove holds a coherent structure — the start forms character, the heart develops the core line, while the drydown anchors the memory. This is the type of composition best understood in wear.
