UPDATE: I ordered this from eBay for $27.99 which is a hot price right now. I was choosing between another fragrance and I selected this. Mint and then the tarragon drydown…a note I remember from eternity summer 2005 but with mint. This is more simple though with mint. Yet there is still a subdued complexity about it.fragrance should take you different places and this one does.

I cannot wait to get my hands on another bottle of this. have got to get another bottle; the one I accidentally left at work and somebody stole it.
The scent is minty fresh yet elegant. At that time it was $25 a bottle at tjmaxx. Now it’s just too expensive probably *woonk wonk wonnnnk!* Another great one being discontinued. I hate that!

I like this stuff alot. On opening there is a strong, and I mean very strong mint note. it’s almost like a eucyliptus scent that can be overbearing. It smells medicinal to me, maybe like a grandparents medicine cabinet. I do like it however, because it’s a familiar, comfortable smell thats cooling on hot days. This smell does wear off in under 30 minutes and turns into a woody/citrus scent. Longevity on the citrus is short and the woodiness takes shape in the first hour and lasts till the end which is unfortunately not very long… maybe 4 hours on me. I do like it though, and I would not classify it as an aquatic scent but definitely a top notch summer scent. Maybe an aromatic?

My good buddy John (gypsy_parfumista) has an absolutely unprecedented review of Azzaro Aqua below me. Please read his review; he’s got a magical sense of smell.
In my opinion, you’d be hard-pressed to find a better aquatic than this one.
Azzaro Aqua was a little gem that came and went too soon. I think it’s the perfect summer fragrance, and the best mint out there besides Pasha Fraicheur Menthe by Cartier. The mint isn’t like toothpaste or dental products at all; this stuff is COOL AS ICE. There are slight aquatic nuances, but for the most part this is a refreshing herbal fragrance, with basil, clove, and tarragon playing second fiddle to the mint. I actually don’t get much citrus; but the mint lives up for lack of a citrus freshness. Finally, the fragrance is held together by what is probably the smoothest nutmeg note I’ve smelled in all of perfumery. Azzaro Aqua doesn’t last TOO long – about 5 hours at the most, but I’d suspect it would last a long time on a hot day. Also, it’s really not similar to Ice*Men at all. That one is a lot heavier.
It’s a shame Azzaro Aqua got discontinued. The bottle, color, font, and of course the fragrance are all beautiful. I would have loved to see matching bath and body products. Oh well. Snatch this up while you still can – I know I will, because it’s now my favorite aquatic!

This is Bright Visit with a very mint top note. A flash mint top note actually, which vanishes quickly and leaves you with a very frustrating feeling, and, of course, with Azzaro Bright Visit. I’d wish the scent was just that mint top note, a really cool one, and one of the closest things of what I figure is a “cold note”. I’m sure I would enjoy it better. And you say it would be just mint. You got it. Would be a very nice – and refreshing – mint scent! Not there yet!

I love this sweet minty scent with a small dose of basil. I don’t find it all that citrusy however, but it’s not a big deal. It’s refreshing, strong, and quite aromatically pleasant. Anyone could enjoy this.

Being a great admirer of Azzaro in general, I was shocked and (pleasantly) surprised to find this at a TJX store on clearance for 7.50 US dollars! I was even more happy when I got it home and smelled it…
Despite it’s limpid blue colored juice, this is NOT your usual aquatic scent. This begins with citruses alright, but also has a wonderfully bitter cassis and some tarragon for an subtle herbal softness. As it dries, it gets sharper with mint and basil, an utterly delightful addition to what I expected to be a calone-y marine wannabe! If this is water, it’s like a fast running icy cold brook in the woods in early springtime, after the snows of winter have thawed and filled the streams to capacity. The herbs add to the springlike feel with their cool, green energies and bright freshness. Basil’s warmth balances minty coolness and the overall aroma is stimulating to say the least! The drydown has some warm cedar, smooth nutmeg, and a light nondescript woody accord. Although the notes on this are listed linearly, I find it does develop, and the heart notes last for quite a while (mint haters stay away from this one!), the drydown is very soothing and has a hint of sweet spiciness. For a ‘blue’ scent, named “Aqua”, I was very impressed-but then I usually am when it comes to Loris Azzaro’s fragrances…
Sillage: very good
Longevity: quite impressive
Overall: 4.25/5
I came home from the city one day with AQUA, Halston 1-12 and Daddy Yankee to show for my last 20 bucks, and my Mother (scowling, knowing I spent the last of my $ AGAIN on perfumes)actually smiled when smelling this, and then said “You did good, John”-I thought so too…3 FBs for 20 bucks! Don’t let the color or the name fool you-this is good juice, my friends and I really dig it…

In my opinion, this fragrance is very similar to Bvlgari Extrême (in your middle notes). The mint, cedar, nutmeg and woodsy notes caused me this impression

Fresh and Aqua the cologne doesn’t last long on my skin and seems to have a nice warm dry down. Overall not too impressive

Tested this… Very fresh and “aqua” feeling, it remind me the lighter version of Chrome, but much lighter and longevity is not that great. Bottle design also too simple and nothing new..
Not an very outstanding Aqua fragrance I can say. Test it and think twice before you buy.

I really like this cologne. It’s fresh and minty, ideal for the Brazilian heat. However, the result on my skin is very similar to the scent of Ice*Men (Thierry Mugler), although this Azzaro has presented better durability.
It has notes of mint, citrus fruit and cassis absolute, in the output; Basil and wild tarragon, in the heart; cedarwood, nutmeg and Woody nuances, in the base.
The initial freshness in contrast with the woods, in the background, is fantastic. And also worth remember that it’s a limited edition, which guarantees a certain uniqueness to the wearer who is also a collector.
For the price it was sold, at the time it hit the market (2009), was very worthwhile, as it is a very good scent, with typical quality of Azzaro brand and that pleases easily.
