Acqua di Selva by Visconti di Modrone

This is a fresh, light and piney take on the classic eau de cologne recipe. Acqua di Selva has been around since 1949 and I believe it was originally made by a company called Victor. The opening of this Visconti di Modrone version is invigorating lemon, bergamot and a pine or rosemary with accents of lavender. I also sense an herbal note such as basil in there too. The middle notes are a pine and/or rosemary note combined with lavender and some other floral such as geranium or possibly carnation. The base is a pleasant musk with a bit of oakmoss. This cologne is great for summer days where you want to smell like a traditional eau de cologne but with a pine twist and Mediterranean flair. It's fairly light and lasts an hour or two before drying down to a calm woody piney-ness.
