Acqua dell’Elba: a Mediterranean Fragrance

The natural fragrances and aromas of the Tuscan sea are coming to the heart of Venice thanks to Acqua dell’Elba

Every fragrance is inextricably linked to our mind, to a memory of a person, of a journey or of a particular moment in our life. In Venice, at the bottom of the Rialto Bridge, there is the Acqua dell’Elba boutique, a corner of Tuscany that smells of the sea and where you can rest your senses. A minimal and relaxing space that evokes the turquoise transparency of the water of the Tuscan archipelago.

The story of Acqua dell’Elba was created after a dream and it is now growing as a business project with outlets throughout Italy; a wise story of the territory showcasing the values of excellence and uniqueness that characterize the beautiful Elba Island.

Three young people from Elba, Fabio, Chiara and Marco, decide to take the magic of their territory beyond the borders of the island. Supported by the quality of the raw materials and traditions of the Tuscan perfumers’ workshops, they have launched the line and developed a craft production that tells the island through its perfumes, becoming an element of recognition and a vehicle for the promotion of its nature and its history.

Seaweed, citrus, cistus and jasmine, helichrysum, woods and aromatic herbs: the Acqua dell’Elba fragrances are created for those who love simplicity, transparency and beauty. They evoke the entire olfactory universe of the Island of Elba and through them you can discover and breathe that territory from all over the world.

The sea that is the element that most deeply connotes the uniqueness of Acqua dell’Elba, almost an existential condition, is reflected even more in the new creation: the Yachting Line.

A selection of artefacts to experience all the beauty of the sea. A unique bouquet, wisely composed by the expert hands of Acqua dell’Elba, which combines Acqua dell’Elba’s historical products with new items created for lovers of the sea and boating.

A discreet elegance, in line with the spirit of Acqua dell’Elba, for a unique experience: in the delicacy of the fabrics, which will dress with elegance all the rooms; in the softness of the body lotions, captivating like a warm hug; in the pleasantness of the soaps, that can cuddle you like the waves of the sea; in the magic of the candles, to dream of the enchantment of a midsummer night; in the poetry of the room fragrances, imprinting the most beautiful memories.

Their absolute novelty is precious and designed for those who want to make a unique gift or for those who love the Acqua dell’Elba perfumes, and do not want to renounce to any fragrance but have them all with them at all times, to be used depending on the mood or occasion. An elegant box with the assortment of all the Acqua dell’Elba fragrances (in the feminine or masculine version) in the convenient size of 15 ml, easy to carry in a handbag or ideal for a trip.

The multi-sensory journey into the sea to discover the uniqueness of Acqua dell’Elba, starts with the Acqua, Smeraldo, and Altrove fragrances. Three artefacts, three essences, three inspirations: the Island of Elba, with its secrets, its transparencies and its lightness; the island of Pianosa with its aromas, its warmth and its colours; the Island of Montecristo with its charm, its mystery and its detachment.

Research, innovation, natural raw materials and artisanal techniques characterize the products of a family business with a great commitment for socially responsible projects in connection with the territory, such as the ‘Via della Essenza’, a 130 km long coastal path, divided into 12 milestones, which runs all along the coast looking at the sea.

We often go to the new store in Campo San Bartolomeo to find a scent or an essence to harmonize our house, to buy presents and to bring home the fragrance of the Mediterranean Sea. In addition to the eau de toilette for him and her, which also include the fresh Sport line, Acqua dell’Elba produces children’s perfumes, candles, aromatizes, bathrobes, beach towels, beauty-houses and bathroom accessories.
