AGUA DE ROSAS. ADOLFO DOMÍNGUEZ


Today we have decided to talk about one of the perfumes that have lasted over time. We are talking about a fragrance that we all know, at least by its name. An iconic fragrance throughout the history of feminine perfumery, which will continue being a sales success in every store in the world. We are speaking about “Agua de Rosas” by Adolfo Domínguez.

A bit about this great author’s life.

Adolfo Domínguez, born in 1950 in a village in Ourense. He was a student of art and cinema in Paris during his youth. He opened in 1976 his first store, representing the collection that would take him to the dashing.
Adolfo Domínguez did not release his first perfume until 1990, under the name of "Agua Fresca". It had a great success all around Spain in several occasions. His first perfume made him become the first designer of Spain to release a fragrance with his own name. Some years later “Agua Fresca de Rosas” made its appearance. Elaborated with rose petals, lily of the valley and jasmine among other olfactory notes. Nowadays it’s still the most sold perfume in Spain.

Concerning the perfume

It is a fragrance that belongs to the floral olfactory family. It is a fresh, young and natural fragrance full of life. Its essence of rose petals has such a watery freshness of dew, so suggestive ... hidden in spicy fruit nuances that sweetly conjugate with the velvety seduction of musk.
Its Head Notes are fresh, fruity and watery; floral Heart Notes; and woody and bit intense amber Base Notes. This perfume has everything to remain, today, a success in sales and the first choice for thousands of women in the world who do not want to change to another scent.
Who hides behind these smells? The cause of success is Joan Bruses, who drew the olfactory silhouette of this toilet water. Its Top Notes are grapefruit, bergamot and mandarin. These are fused with a floral bouguet of the lily of the valley in its Middle Notes, including the presence of lilac and jasmine. These last two adorn its subtle form, the elegant aroma of the Bulgarian rose. Its Base Notes are composed of sandalwood, oak moss, and amber, achieving absolute seduction.

Its 20th anniversary

The year 2015 witnessed the 20th birthday of the fragrance. Therefore, they had to celebrate it in the most emotive, incredible and visual possible way.
The subway station of Callao (Madrid) was filled with colors and flowers, creating a beautiful artificial garden. All the intention was to create an aura of wisdom and elegance. The decoration had to express all the keys of femininity through a fragrance so fresh, delicate and floral.

People’s opinion

Some people say that we have to face modern times: if we do not update ourselves we will die in a world too advanced for us. However, there are customs that can not be left behind. There are products that, today, have the same or more prominence than in the beginning. But this only happens if we know how to keep them in time, facing any challenge or difficulty.
Agua de Rosas is a product that has not gone out of fashion; there are still people who trust in its power, in its attractiveness and all the potential it has. There are products that do not lose their essence, and this is one of them.
