Fear of Water – Anti
During the Italian Renaissance, when fear of water made perfume a substitute for bathing , cities filled with opulent extracts of jasmine , tuberose , and rose , scents that lingered on the skin like a kiss. Paura dell'Acqua reimagines that opulence as a Venetian romance suspended between baroque streets and the reflections of canals.
The opening is bright and tactile: mandarin petitgrain brings citrus light and a green vein, while fresh ginger tingles the air with a crisp warmth. The heart is a full-blown floral chamber: creamy and narcotic tuberose absolute , voluptuous and nocturnal Egyptian jasmine , and velvety rose absolute . In the base, tonka bean unfurls an almondy softness, cistus adds amber resin and a historic echo of an alchemical laboratory, while woody amber structures the trail into a warm and persistent signature.
The result is a baroque floral with a modern feel: a dense, sensual, and theatrical trail, capable of transforming everyday life into a stroll among palaces and ponds at sunset.
Benefits
- Renaissance richness: a bouquet of tuberose, jasmine and rose in an opulent yet balanced guise.
- Enveloping trail: amber-tonka base that elegantly prolongs the floral heart.
- Narrative identity: historical inspiration becomes a contemporary sensory experience.
Suitable for
For those who love opulent white florals with a historic twist; for those seeking a sensual unisex fragrance with a theatrical and lingering aura, ideal for evenings, events, and special moments.

Conclusion
Paura dell'Acqua by Anti is a baroque floral that pays homage to the Italian Renaissance: bright citrus, floral absolutes, and a lingering amber base. A fragrance to wear like a Venetian novel on your skin.

The Diversity
Alla Violetta Boutique remains faithful to the inspiring ideals of Artistic, Niche and Luxury perfumery, in constant search for "Different" perfumes and Brands, both in compositions and quality of ingredients, and even in distribution. The great success and the commercial prominence of our market segment, means that many of our historical and less historical suppliers, both as official distributors and as producers, are rapidly expanding their distribution in our local Campania region, and in general in Italy. This obviously has advantages for the customer, who finds more easily what yesterday was almost impossible to find on the various provincial markets, but if not managed and moderated correctly, it goes completely against the principle of "scarcity" that pervades everything that is rare and different. And if the distributors and producers don't put a brake on it, then We will put it on, by proceeding with the removal of all those Brands that more or less suddenly, and not in a coordinated and even explained way, transform their Brands and products from something different to the "commercial rule". Unlike many, albeit good colleagues and competitors who today only aim to expand their commercial Catalogue, especially online, which they push with videos and sponsorships, We at Alla Violetta Boutique continue to try to offer our Customers Brands and products of Value, which obviously implies not being "inflated", or over-spread in the various local territories, this to avoid that at the party x or event y, and even in the office, our customers and those of others all end up with the same perfume... And not because we are Snobs, or because we don't want to "share", but maybe... are we?
