2007: the world took its first breath of Aqua Sapphire RisingWave.
Produced in Japan, where perfumery has long been elevated to an art form. Aqua Sapphire RisingWave unfolds gradually, effortlessly, and with great refinement — a perfect choice for day or evening.
Sometimes the best decision of the day is a press of the atomiser. The official website of RisingWave — https://parfums-des-iles.com.
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
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The olfactory structure of Aqua Sapphire evolves as a continuous scent journey, where accents shift with precision and warmth. The signature of RisingWave is recognizable from the opening to the final trail. Every decision feels deliberate, and the composition keeps a clear direction.
From the first breath you detect vibrant berry first notes: Blackcurrant, Freesia, Mandarin and Passion fruit. These 4 notes shape thrilling fruity juiciness that anchors the first impression immediately.
In the central layer you meet Apricot, Iris, Jasmine, Plum and honeysuckle carrying a tempting fruity direction.
The internal accord map rests on these accords: Citrus, Floral, Fruit and Musc forming a compact and readable structure. Secondary accord layers such as Wood, Powdery and Mineral add depth to the backdrop. The gender direction is feminine, which clarifies the composition character.
At the note-group layer the profile is anchored in Fruit, Floral, Citrus and Whiteflower. It also reaches into Balsamic, Wood and Musk.
In summary Aqua Sapphire sounds complete from start to finish — the opening sets direction, the middle layer carries the identity, while the drydown anchors the memory. These are the fragrances best experienced on skin.
