Acque di Italia
Italian waters and light florals.
Acque di Italia, operating under Karysdue's corporate umbrella, draws its identity from the Italian tradition of aquatic and botanical fragrance — the country's long history of citrus-based colognes, floral waters, and light aromatic preparations rooted in Renaissance apothecary culture and the legacy of Cologne itself. The name, translating simply as 'Italian Waters,' signals a focus on freshness, clarity, and the Mediterranean botanical tradition rather than the dense orientals or heavy woods associated with Middle Eastern or Central European fragrance. The house operates at niche pricing, suggesting compositions of genuine quality built within this fresh, botanical framework rather than mass-market versions of similar concepts. Karysdue's Italian base provides access to the country's skilled fragrance production infrastructure. Acque di Italia appeals to consumers seeking sophisticated light freshness with Italian botanical character — the fragrant equivalent of clear spring water moving through a formal Ligurian garden.
