This is good stuff. Smells like a nice walk at night in the watery sands. There is a bit of tartness and a deep salty note in the background coming from the seaweed . This is very unisex for sure.

I have been looking for the perfect scent of the ocean for a while. I found out Bvlgari Acqua did a pretty good job but I must also mention the effort here by Comptoir Sud Pacifique.
Thanks! That smells like salt water, algues, sand, a bit of musk.
This is a text-book ocean smell. So loveable if you miss the sea. Don’t expect it to be too gentle on you though. It’s an EDP, it performs a lot.
Aqua Motu is, once again, a great promise by CSP and they deliver. The ocean in a bottle. Wait for it to get to the skin smell, you will feel like you got out of the sea.
Thanks for reading my review!

Am I the only one who thinks this smells like hairspray?

This is my first perfume with “sand notes”.
I must say I’m dumbfounded and not sure how to describe it.
Well, its sand: not sticky, not sweet, pleasantly dry. Good for summer.
I also get lots of immortelle.

Now call me crazy, but as soon as I smelled this fragrance it reminded me of a softer version of Womanity by Thierry Mugler. I think it’s the saltiness of the sand and seaweed. I’m not the biggest fan but I could see how someone would love this!

As always it is difficult to rate Comptoir’s perfumes because they don’t really smell like proper perfumes. In this case you get a pleasant smell that indeed reminds you instantly of the sea. However, I don’t agree with Lisa (below), who enthuastically comments as if she was warped to the beaches. In fact, I am afraid that is reminds me slightly more of a air refreshener than real beaches. Although quality is present here, I can’t wear something like this.

Aqua Motu is the beach in a bottle. This fragrance is exactly the scent of the walking along the edge of the breaking waves. Even though salt is not mentioned in the notes, it is certainly present…in the best way. The silage and longevity are great. Hours later it is still noticably present. For people like myself that love the smell of the ocean, this is a must!

This is very similar to the EDT, only the immortelle note is more pronounced–grassy, hay-like with a subtle, dry tobacco-like undertone. I’m really enjoying this rendition too.
Salty, sea water, dry woods, dune vegetation, sandy beach–make that hot sand–a little sweaty and delicious. CSP should have named this fragrance Sex on the Beach.

No need for me to say much, jadejoann4 already hits the major points. If you like beaches north of Santa Barbara this is for you, for a few hours this stuff is very potent with the seaweed the most prominent element on my skin. Longevity 4-5 hours, projection heavy the first two hours before becoming subtle and soft in the drydown.

This is a beach scent but not a tropical beach! This is Pescadero Beach or Salinas beach scent. Cold, salty, fresh.. the seaweed is so THERE! its really good scent. Can be unisex.

In the summer this is a sublime scent. It’s a wonderful, close to the skin smell. I’ve even worn it in the winter when I want to feel the summer sun on my face. I know the ingredients might make one pause before trying it…but goodness, this is just so incredible. Not a hokey beach fragrance…but something rarefied and beautiful. I adore this beyond words. I hope they never stop making it.

Smells like the beach.

I know acquatics are “passé” but I still really like them. This is a great alternative to Hilde Soliani’s “Acquiilssssima” and comes at a fraction of the cost. Kind of “slutty”, but in a good way.
I just wanted to add that there’s a bit of “dawn dish detergent” on the drydown.
