About the Fragrance
A moment. Magic that intoxicates the senses. A sublime trail in the air. Shrouding, shaking, seducing. Acqua Incanta, Luca Gritti’s homage to iris. This classic fragrance honors the Florentine orris root’s soft and elegant smell, enhanced with a dense, timeless lipstick-like musky accord. A pinch of vanilla and delicate green nuances round off the composition, leaving the skin with sheer, powdery sillage.
