Find a lemon tree, pick a brilliant yellow fruit still warm from the sunshine, give it a gentle squeeze to release the oils in the rind, close your eyes and sniff – that is Acqua Viva. This is the most amazingly authentic lemon scent we have ever found. It is the bracing scent of the zest – intense, bright and clean and without a drop of sugar in it. These are lemons that are still on a tree, surrounded by cypress and cedar, overlooking the dazzling Mediterranean Sea. The air is fresh, the sky is blue and life is good. Acqua Viva uses Amalfi lemons – the queen of lemons – grown on terraced hillsides and famed for their intense scent and flavor. Sunlight in a bottle.

Amalfi lemon, Sicilian broom flower, cypress, cedar
