Liquirizia e Mora
Designed for gourmand enthusiasts who find typical vanilla scents repetitive, Aquolina Liquirizia e Mora turns fruit on its head.

Later, a powdery musk and quiet sandalwood anchor the dry-down on wool sweaters and scarves. Perfect for crisp fall afternoons, casual coffee dates, or cozy indoor wear, this fragrance leans whimsical without feeling childish. It rewards lovers of black liquorice candies looking for an affordable cool weather signature.

Liquirizia e Mora yields modest performance on skin, lasting between 3 and 5 hours before fading to a skin scent. Sillage projects at arm's length for the first hour, driven by punchy top notes, then quietens significantly. It performs best in cool autumn weather under 60 degrees Fahrenheit, as summer heat makes the sweet licorice cloying.
Notes Pyramid

Liquirizia e Mora delivers a jammy, dark gourmand profile defined by sharp blackberry and bittersweet licorice. The texture shifts from a syrupy, fizzy berry opening to a dry, powdery heart dominated by jasmine petals. It finishes on a quiet pillow of musk and soft sandalwood that rests close to the skin.
Main Accords
9 MAPPEDThe dominant fruity accord opens dark and tart rather than sugary, mimicking crushed blackberry skins. Bittersweet licorice quickly interlocks with the berry juice, giving the scent a soft spicy, herbal backbone. As the initial brightness settles, musky and powdery accords absorb the sharp edges, leaving a soft woodiness on skin that feels clean rather than sticky.

Fragranxe Review
EDITORIAL“Aquolina Liquirizia e Mora Review: Tart Blackberry Meets Dark Anise”
Aquolina built its reputation on loud, tooth-aching gourmands, but Liquirizia e Mora takes a slightly darker path. Spraying it on wrist skin brings an immediate splash of crushed blackberry juice. It feels tart and slightly wild, avoiding the artificial syrup trap that catches many budget fruity scents. Within two minutes, a pungent black licorice note pushes through the fruit. The combination smells sharp, dark, and distinctly European, resembling hard aniseed candies dusted in berry powder.
As the bright top notes settle after fifteen minutes, white jasmine emerges to smooth out the prickly licorice edges. The floral note stays quiet in the background, offering clean body rather than a heavy narcotic bouquet. The licorice loses its aggressive herbal bite here, blending into the fruit like a dark compote simmered on low heat. It strikes a balance between cozy kitchen spices and fresh garden berries.
During the dry-down phase, the fragrance moves away from active fruitiness toward a soft, tactile skin warmth. Powdery musk coats the remaining berry notes, giving the scent a freshly laundered wool sweater feel. A dry sandalwood note grounds the base, preventing the sweetness from turning sour on warm skin. The overall texture shifts from wet and syrupy at the start to powdery and warm by the third hour.
Performance is where expectations need managing. You will get roughly three to five hours of wear on bare skin before needing a touch-up spray. Sillage projects about arm's length for forty-five minutes before drawing inward to create an intimate bubble. Cool autumn days and breezy October evenings suit this scent best. Crisp air keeps the licorice crisp, whereas high summer humidity makes the fruity accord feel sticky.
This fragrance fits gourmand enthusiasts who want something quirky without spending niche money. It works well for casual daytime errands, autumn coffee runs, or relaxing at home in comfortable loungewear. If you dislike black jellybeans or star anise, stay far away, as the licorice note remains present throughout the entire wear cycle. Beginners moving past basic vanilla will appreciate its distinct herbal contrast.
Liquirizia e Mora offers a refreshing, dark berry twist within Aquolina's lineup. It lacks the nuclear performance of Pink Sugar, but its unique herbal-fruity pairing makes it worth picking up for cool-weather rotation. Test it on skin first if you are sensitive to anise, or buy a bottle confidently if you love dark, moody gourmands.
