Aqva by Bulgari Eau De Toilette For Men, 100ml

Product Information

This perfume is so worth the sympathy it receives and there is no doubt that it will continue to receive it. This is a perfect fragrance for an extroverted, easy going man on the hottest of summer days, going to the beach and or beach club. Imagine sunbathing by the poolside surrounded with citrus trees at a hotel , that’s how this literally smells.

Lasts 4-5 hours on me but kind of skin scent so i'll just spray it on my clothes to improve its longetivity. Spring is here and Summer is approaching, so I'm really looking forward to wearing this often as I believe that to be the best time of the year for this scent. I agree that this 'was' a fantastic fragrance, one of the best and most unique marine -like perfumes of all time, however newer batches are not the same, far from it in my opinion.Fresh, aquatic, a bit salty but has a body behind the super fresh opening full of orange and some other citruses that i don't even try to name. Like the couple kissing passionately on the beach while the waves crash on them in From Here to Eternity. Longevity of the current batches is not great (5 hours give it or take it), projection is intimate, so overspraying a bit is suggested. The fragrance feels airy, breeze (oceanic), exotic, fresh, slightly green, slightly leathery, marine, masculine, modern, natural, salty, woody, and pleasant.

Smells of the salt sea, washed up kelp on damp beach sand and the sounds of waves crashing aren't too far behind. The freshness to me is mostly herbal where the citruses play a rather supporting role in the composition. I tried this side by side at the airport with the Marine flanker, which does have the aquatic note, and my comparison is that due to the "wet" scent Marine is a more playful, splashy fragrance, whereas the original Aqva is more serious, mature and austere. A stone that is dark in shade and aquamarine in color, whose curved shape was given over the years of weathering by the ocean. If you are a fanatic of aquatic scents it is most preferable to purchase instead the Aqua atlantique or if it is doable the Aqua amara.

Most men will have this in their gym bags, gym lockers or inside their glove compartment as a go to scent. Interesting to read AndySmellsGreat's review because as I said in my review below, I had a bottle of this a decade ago and it was fantastic, a truly unique (at least to my nose) marine aromatique, giving a real sense of the ocean.

I'm not saying that this is bad it's just so average and over used that you would be better off with just about anything else. The most aquatic of all the aquatic fragrances (that I tried), it conjures an image of green water, so the bottle is 100% consistent with the smell. It is nearly guaranteed to make almost any fragrance really difficult if not impossible for you to pick up whiffs of after application, but other people will be able to detect it from half the room away. Only downside, which is a feature of most fragrances that are aquatic and/or citrus, is that it doesn't last very long. We recommend checking the list of product ingredients directly on its packaging due to potential changes.You ever have a friend who has way too many cats and dogs, smells like ammonia and wet fur all the time, but it literally completely escapes them that they stink, despite the fact you (and everyone else) picks up on it immediately? We take pride in providing access to a diverse range of popular cosmetic solutions from leading manufacturers. Saying that, Amara has that strong citrus orange note, Marine also has a fresh citrus explosion, and Atlantique has the interesting addition of Ambroxan. I had heard wonderful things about Aqva--thay it subverted the boring, same-y-ness of aquatics, that it was interesting, and even that it was the only good aquatic. Aqva's point of difference amongst the many water-themed fragrances of the era is that it lacks the aquatic note- I would describe it as a dry marine fragrance rather than a true aquatic.
