Aqua dos Açores

An Olfactory Travel Diary That of Aqua dos Açores is the story of a bond between an Italian couple and the Azores Islands, born almost by chance in 2008 when this unique place captured the Florentine Cinzia Caiazzo and her husband to settle and establish here their volcano’s cellar, Adega do Vulcão through recovery of native vines.The couple live on the Island of Faial, near the dos Capelinhos volcano formed in 1957 following an eruption started in the sea a mile from the coast. The sand and ashes expelled from the volcano for over a year submerged the surrounding land, creating an unparalleled terroir in the following decades. Perfumery Brand Aqua dos Açores sees the light later and develops ocean note Eau de Parfum and wine note home fragrance. Both Adega as well as Aqua dos Açores express love for extreme nature and its own relationship with man. The perfume collection was born as an olfactory travel diary. A sensorial tale of one of the most beautiful places in the world, a tribute to the Azores as a meeting and exchange place where history, nature, colours and scents merge into an indissoluble whole. In the Azores, Mediterranean and tropical flora merge indissolubly with the original habitat. An extraordinary variety to which settlers, merchants and navigators from Brazil, the Indies, the Mediterranean and all over Europe contributed. The Mix of Nature. Ocean. Sustainability.
