Had this one years ago. Fresh aquatic fragrance but I did not receive much compliments on this.

I don’t understand all the, “myeeh, it okay. Not bad.” comments. I saw this, Atlantiqve, and the other lighter one all lined up at the Dillard’s counter today, and I had to try it since I’ve been desperate to do so for years, especially for that interesting “cotton flower” note. Sprayed it and Atlantiqve, each on each wrist. And, oh, man… Something happened that I can rarely say about most fragrances – It was love a first sniff… Gorgeous scent that kept my wrist to my face. Atlantiqve was also great but was less unique and attention holding than the original.
Bvlgari Aqva smells deep, masculine and dreamy but not in a gloomy way that I expected in relation to the serious looking bottle. Like a pretty smelling mandarin that hails from the deep marina. Like a god of the sea. Perfect scent to wear out of the shower while going out on a Saturday afternoon. I will say, it has a childhood familiarity to it in the sense that it’s as if I’ve smelt this before years and years ago. The scent itself is very unique to me, though, and you won’t catch anyone else wearing it since its such a hidden gem.
I find it odd because I’ve been obsessed with trying Aqva Amara but found this and am hooked on buying it. It just sucks that summer is at it’s near end. Could have rocked this and Amara season long. Oh, well. Must buy. And next up on the radar to test; Aqva Amara.

Bvlgari Aqva is actually a nice fragrance.
I blind bought it based on reviews saying: it is dark, it is like ocean, it is daring, it is unique. And I’m disappointed that I didn’t find neither of them in it. However, it is a nice fragrance.
Bvlgari Aqva is quite airy, starts with sharp citrus notes, such as ones in Issey Miyake L’eau d’Issey. After an hour, its sharpness decreases, it becomes musky and its watery-floral aspects flourish.
Although it is not as original as Issey Miyake L’eau d’Issey, just because of its muskiness and less floral nature, I prefer it much more

although it smells bit stomach-turning , when you get used to it , it becomes more tolerable for your nose. without doubt for me this is a true legend of all aquatics…

This is a marine classic. Its masculine fresh. Smells like fresh water and ocean rocks. That authentic smell if your at the beach in the water and you get a wiff of the breeze off the water. Go get it. It still holds up as a modern scent. TOM FORDS COSTA AZZURA is a good copy.
segasmola – :
This is my signature perfume and has been for a while now. Was gifted this by friends on my 30th and it has been a constant on my shelf over the past decade. The Aqua is true to its name and smells like the ocean on a warm day. It develops well on my person and usually lasts throughout the day.
I would recommend it to anyone staying in a hot, humid part of the world and looking for a fresh, aquatic, citrusy fragrance.

This is a fragrance that grows on you. There have only been 2 fragrances that really grew on me throughout my journey of buying fragrances. Terre d’ Hermes and this. This hit me with a peppery note I did not like. To this day, I still don’t like this note, but I’m becoming less aware of it. I know there are reviewers that say one fragrance or another has the best dry down. This cologne, although it’s opening is nice, but not the best, the prize is in the drydown. If you blind bought it, stick with it. Usually, I’ve loved a fragrance, and once the uniqueness wore off, I’d disliked it. This is the opposite. The opening isn’t the best though IMO, so be warned. Here are my thoughts in video form:

This is a big favorite of mine. Fresh but unique, affordable but classy. It evokes on me the image of an evening solo flight over a big ocean, no land around, just you and the deep water. Good projection and fair longevity. I think Bulgari Aqua deserves a place among the best fresh scents ever created.
uza118Negeltzex – :
I once had tester and it smelled absolutely divine. Even though I’m a woman, I used the tester and would purchase it in the future. It reminds me of summer evenings with light breeze and air filled with sea salt. Somehow, for me, it is a nostalgic perfume.

Applied heavy, its like I’m under the sea. This must be how spongebob feel all the time.
rita3107 – :
What makes this fragrance worth owning, what it’s narrative really is all about, is a combination of wearability with a respectful naturalism; the perfumer has tried to give an accurate yet livable rendering of the sea, and has achieved something of the feeling of a seaside retreat. Raw textures are presented as contained and put into a perspective whose outcome is soothing, inducing a clear-headed contemplation.
Longevity of this fragrance is quite good for a marine composition at the usual 9-5 working day, with a well-balanced progression into the close-to-the-vest drydown; sillage is well-behaved but present, certainly for the first few hours. Sniffing the bottle or a strip doesn’t quite give an accurate impression of a full wearing… It would be too easy, based on a cursory application, to see the opening as just a typical citrus aquatic.
The orange topnotes burn off quite quickly, leaving a very well-balanced lavender and a bit of sweaty complexity with that cottonflower note (again, this is very civilized, not at all beastly). What distinguishes its progress is the contrast between a truly salty, almost fishy marine sketch (that seaweed molecule, but also petitgrain being rather ingeniously used to add a metallic tang to the brine) and a stony, mineral character that supports the calone note with authority.
Midway into the drydown, I really appreciate the way that a very clean, dry, soil-like patchouli note helps to ground the melon-like calone, stopping it from seeming overly artificial, a pitfall of many aquatic compositions. There is even a discernible touch of sage to add a bit of the desert to the sea. This drydown in calming, sensible and masculine; there is a tactile evocation of sun & salt-bleached woods but also a certain airiness from an able deployment of light musks. I appreciate that as it fades, no one note is left to fend for itself.
This is a respectable example of its genre and a very safe buy for warm weather office wear or days outside that blur together; it may indeed become (or perhaps already is?) a minor classic.

Salty, dirty, seaweed, very natural. Your olfactory nerves have no difficulty accepting this fragrance as a right scent.
vap1971 – :
For all of many fragrance I’ve tested, this is one of my best scent that I ever bought with no regrets. At first it smells like a mature man after that I started to fell in love with this fragrance.
I’ve got a highly praise perfumes like La Nuit Del’omme, Invictus Acqua, Acqua Di Gio Profumo but this one keeps me falling in love more. I’m not saying that this is better than them, but my nose is loving this one. One of my best. I’m 23 years old when I got this one but until now I love this.
n.Tolya78 – :
A clean aquatic note and citrus. There’s a little woody amber in the background. The citrus here isn’t screechy like a lemon or grapegruit. Mandarin or orange seem accurate. There’s not much to this scent but that’s not a bad thing. The aquatic note isn’t headache inducing to me like many others.
Aqva Pour Homme is unisex and perfect for hot weather. Sillage and projection are close to the skin but very reasonable for it’s inexpensive price. Longevity is nice at around eight hours. More casual than formal. This works well for work but it’s not too sexy in my opinion. I like the bottle design a lot; looks like a water droplet or pebble. Great scent!

My brother had this seven years ago and cautioned one spray is enough. Very strong. On my jacket, it lasted days. There’s even a faint smell after having it washed.
I definitely got the aquatic in it, but there is something pungent to it I can’t point out. Maybe it’s the seaweed, as some people here said. I liked it because it smelled unlike anything I had before.
My girlfriend at the time hated it, when I tried it. She thought I stank like a rich old man who prey on young women. I was in my late 20s then.
Years later, I worked with a guy who made this his signature scent. He’s this awfully talkative young guy, and I suddenly found this scent annoying and posey. Maybe the right person can pull this off. Maybe someone older, clean-looking, mature and fit.
Maybe when I’m older, I’ll give it another try.
dystroys – :
okay i was a bit scared at first spray because the seaweed was like real seaweed water bugs and all.this is just like versace pour homme in the sense that it is horrible if smelled directly on the sprayed area.i am fanning the sprayed area and i can indeed pick up the orange and the flowers.just a tad of cedar and still horrid as hell up close. it is actually very very pleasant.i get the aquatic but never thought oranges had anything to do with that.i aint disappointed in the least and might even be a little excited.i dont know what scent it is that is musky but i dont like it.i dont like that musk that avon iron man,karen low pure blanc,versace pour homme and aqua pour homme share.i dont even know if it is musk or some flower but it is potent as hell if smelled up close.this is quite long lasting on me 6+ hours easy.i saw a video where this guy buys a fake?who would fake a bulgari and work so hard on the detail?i bought a small 2 oz. so who would fake that and put all the orange and cedar?i believe musk is quite abundant out there and is a scent used by both cheap and expensive fragrances.i think i just have yet to recognize how flowers and other scents play together.
yannell – :
I honestly dont get the aquatic or seaweed notes whatsoever. I want to get more out of this scent, but it smells almost entirely of mandarin orange. That’s it. Maybe I’ve got an off bottle?
t0pmegsc0m – :
My dad had this some years ago.
One of thee most unique scents I have ever smelled.
I knew of course that it was a marine inspired scent, but upon seeing the notes- I have realised for the very first time that the note that set this apart from every other marine scent is: seaweed.
How foolish I have been for someone who lives in a coastal city. Alright, one of my life’s many questions has been answered, so I’m happy.
This really does marine like no one else ever has. It’s as well blended as Hermes Homme- it’s as full of sea as Hermes Homme is full of earth.
securityua – :
Very very nice men mature perfume for the summer.
For years I’ve owned a nice little bottle of this for beach days and very hot days. Booms aquatic vibe, smells evolved and not too citric. Almost like algae but in a good way.
I love it almost irrationally because it reminds me of the good days spent in the beach and holidays with friends and sunsets with girlfriends.
Opens up strong and a bit too citric but turns into a very manly aquatic fresh scent over time as the seaweed, lavender and amber do their magical appearence. IMHO the amber is what makes this perfume so mature and even adds this a bit of smokey vibe to it in the late drydown.
The duration and silleage are average and could be better but I honestly think they are perfect for a hot summer day, as it will come booming back to life with the hot summer breeze 8+ hours after application.
Like this a lot! Very nice for young dynamic adults
pasha_lawyer – :
Bvlgari Aqva opens up with loads of easily distinguishable calone, the first time I smell it as a pure watermelon note. To me it is very fruity, sweet, and refreshing. Once Aqva dries down, I get more of that seaweed note, which adds a darker and saltier edge to the fragrance. It is very easy to wear, and definitely enjoyable. The longevity is about 5-6 hours with good projection turning moderate/soft after the first and a half hour. Do try it out if you love aquatics, this is one of the better ones.
bocyak – :
I’m trying out a bunch of aquatics now, and I’ve come to the conclusion that I have to put fishy seaweed notes on my NEVER-list together with pepper and incense. Doesn’t work for me.
Serge300 – :
This is pretty nice, i get the picture of a man at the beach, he’s sweating on a sunny day, then plunged into the sea. After swimming and diving for a while, he resurfaces and lay on the sand. That’s bvlgari aqva.
Too bad at some point of my life this fragrance become so generic, everyone wear this so naturally I’ve lost interest.
vazz – :
This is hands down an AMAZING cologne!
An excellent all purpose warm/hot weather day/night cologne, that’s light, easy to wear, and has lots of character/uniqueness from the many other generic aquatics on the market.

Aqva pour homme is a pleasent aquatic fragrance.
I got nothing new to add here, But i want to compare it to aqva amara.
While both of them share the same DNA, Both are quite different scents. To me, Aqva pour homme is in “Safe” category, While aqva amara is a daring and challenging fragrance beacause it is sharp and Really REALLY MASCULINE, People will either love it or they will hate it, Aqva pour homme is mass appealing but amara is more unique and it has that “wow” factor that aqva pour homme doesn’t have.
Aqva pour homme has a moderate performance while aqva amara has amazing performance and it lasts for a long time on skin.
Both are great fragrances but if you want to stand out I would recommend you to go for Aqva amara
TroyanUA – :
I found a set that had 1 ounce bottles of 4 of the Bvlgari scents for men. I like this one, haven’t tried the others yet but this one is right up my alley or down my lagoon. The opening is unique, very fresh and airy. I can’t believe I’m going to say this but I hadn’t ever smelled any of these Bvlgari until today. I sprayed 3 sprays on around 2 PM EST and can still smell it on my skin at 11:50 PM EST, so nearly 10 hours, it is very faint at this point.
NattsnitaLato – :
Even though I live inland, I love the scent of the sea. Bvlgari Aqua Pour Homme reminds me morning walk along the beach just after sunrise, the air is not yet hot and it echoes the sea longs. The smell of saltwater and seaweed, of course.
The initial impression is distinctly aquatic, adding the bitter chord of orange and mandarin. Imagine a cotton t-shirt freshly washed with lavender soap and add this. Drying and evaporating washed-up wood yet. Few perfumes are so complex and typically sea-like. After an hour or more, it translates into a great, typically salty sea scent, lasts longer than 8 hours on me. One of the masterpieces of the perfume industry.
serega1978 – :
Blind purchase for me but after having using the 1st bottle I got the 2nd one and later on tried the Marine. Simply love the citrus and freshness on this one. Was my day to day choice for couple of years
Yura1987 – :
The smell of deep water in a bottle, can’t explain it but this is better than your run of the mill aquatics, seaweed and nice citruses, prefer this original version over all it’s other flankers, another great Bvlgari scent.
It has this soothing effect on me when I shower with AQVA shower gel then apply the fragrance, amazing for hot humid summer days, it is a complement getter from men and women alike.
Adamenco – :
I reviewed this sometime ago but I’m coming back to it with a short review.
This, along with millesime imperial by creed are the only true aquatics that I find wearable.
To put simply, aqva is like a bitter citrus peel mixed with damp seaweed (no not the sushi stuff), and millesime imperial is like ripe melon and flowers dowsed in seawater.
These 2 are the best representation of mature, realistic aquatics in my opinion. Very different perfumes in terms of how they smell, but each captures the aquatic theme from a different perspective.
fenixs2 – :
This is a scent of deep ocean with a smell of a dark citrus (on the opening from my standpoint), not so aquatic but gorgeous drydown
evgenij7777 – :
This is the best masculine oceanic/marine fragrance. It starts off with a very dark aroma of realistic ocean, but in a beautiful way, with heavy notes of mandarin orange, petitgrain, realistic saltwater from the ocean (very salty), and a hint of seaweed. It leans extremely masculine. On drydown the seaweed becomes prominent but in a beautiful way (unlike the disgusting seaweed in Bond No. 9’s “Wall Street”), and darker/less sharp than Deconstructing Eden’s “Poseidon” EDP (another favourite of mine for realistic oceanic/marine colognes). It’s also filled with the aroma of ocean water as well as sage and minerals. The aquatic note here is a wonderfully salty ocean water (similar to my nose to Acqua di Gio, and not like the clean aquatic notes in colognes like Cool Water). This resembles the actual scent of the ocean deep in a very pleasant and beautiful way, and I thoroughly enjoy it – especially as my father used to wear this when I was a child (and I have a lot of scent memory in this regard). For basenotes, I detect minerals and driftwood as well as a soapy amber. The basenotes actually smell sort of similar to Acqua di Gio, oddly. Sillage is moderate but leaning towards strong (less is more with this fragrance), while longevity is also firmly moderate at 4-5 hours. In fact after 5 hours, it’s barely a skin scent. Overall this is a wonderful dark fragrance in general and great for evening or day wear in summer or winter in my opinion, while it is also maybe the greatest realistic ocean/marine fragrance in the market in my opinion (especially when you factor in cost). It’s one of my favourites out of all the colognes I’ve smelled. The bottle is also futuristic and interesting.
5/5
evg47632882 – :
yes the seaweed does come of dirty or annoying to some, but this is a cloudy, rainy day on the beach as seaweed is kicked up by the waves.
This is one of the most natural fragrances you can find for the price and is something I respect.
This does come off mature to the younger or more casual women, but is pleasant to most. A more manly aquatic.
I get 4 to 6 hours with moderate projection.
Get your nose on it 20 to 35 age range. Try it out.

This is a great cologne, especially for the blue/aqua/marine types of colognes. I’ve worn it a lot. At the end of the day, there are just other colognes I have preferred which I think match me better. After this, I moved on to Versace for how it blended with my skin.

Diving in to the deep of the sea!
When AQVA MARINE is like lagoon snorkeling, but this AQVA Pour Homme will take you in to the deep of the ocean! AQVA Pour Homme is different real sea scent not just aquatic citrus like D&G Light Blue or Acqua Di Gio, when I wear this fragrance it just like I’m a part of the sea, diving to the heart of the sea, that deep, cold , dark, danger and silence! The citrus of this fagrance not sharp, but dark and bitter, blended very well with marine-note, cotton flower and sage… for some time the scent it smell like “chlorine” in the swimming pool that can make you feeling like choke water! but it great! not easy to find a fragrance that present a real of water like this. This is the real power of the ocean in the bottle of fragrance !

seceZooxHaics – :
I would describe this scent as a dark aquatic. There is something in it that makes me think about deep and dangerous waters rather than a happy and summery day at the beach. Pretty unique in its genre.
tekilla230 – :
This is a hard scent to explain, and rate. It’s growing on me, and so where it was between my like and my love list when I bought it, it is now a love item. Been wearing it every day now since I purchased it. I remember an old friend in 2000 who kept several Bvlgari colognes in his fridge, and I remember one of them being in a round bottle – this was certainly it, the one that I liked so much and couldn’t ever find when I tried Bvlgari at perfume counters. The opening is incredible. Sweet, sour, ocean breezy. The dry down is weird. If I try, I can smell that wonderful opening scent, but there is another scent, perhaps the sea weed, that smells dirty, like some sort of meat or pungent food, and powdery also, without this it would be even better, but still – top notch cologne.
** update: i love the scent of this cologne although im warning anyone who might purchase – it is pure poison, and makes me nauteus when i wear it, not from the amazing scent, but from what seems to be the chemicals. After a few sprays i get a dull headache, feel sick and get tired, near having to nap. I can only guess that its loaded with some dangerous stuff, i have some other colognes that seem to do the same, not as bad as this one, and other colognes like profile 18 amber wood which dont do it at all. I bet this stuff causes cancer, sad, it smells so nice at first.

It’s a must to own I will not describe the notes but it is a hitter! I’ve gotten the right compliments in all the right places!

You will not find anything out there like this besides other standalone powerhouse fragrances that can compare or surpass. BVLGARI stands tall! humid temperatures please!

I am not a fan of this one. The opening is marine and cold. Later it gets a bit greener and more pleasant, but this fragrance smells like an expensive deodorant to me.

Dimon_eda – :
I’ve always been turned off by the thought of seaweed in a fragrance, but I was searching for something with a deep, stormy ocean vibe the other day and kept coming back to Aqva. So I blind bought it yesterday, and long story short it’s something special.
It opens the same as every other aquatic you’ve ever smelled, but it quickly dries down to a linear (not a bad thing) seaweed and orange, with a woody aquatic feel in the background. The seaweed totally works. It’s carried by the orange so well that you absolutely don’t have to worry about smelling salty.
I currently have a fan on next to me, and the breeze combined with Aqva is exactly what I was looking for. It’s making me smile.
This one gets a 10/10, and the moral of the story is to be open to new ideas and never judge a fragrance until you smell it.
i_garry – :
I own all the Bvlgari Aqva line and I think this one is the most wearable and versatile among all the line.
It has a fresh opening but after few minutes it turns into a very dark, deep and complex scent. Not every body’s cup of tee but for sure it is a sophesticated aquaitc.
Projection and longevity are week compared to Marine and Amara (which is unique and beast) but the original aqva transforms much better and goes deeper into dark oceans as it dries down.
flatoevace – :
Clean. Fresh. Refreshing. Uplifting. Quite linear on me, but that’s ok because it’s such a great scent. Aqva is fairly long-lasting, as I get about five hours from it – pretty good for an aquatic. It doesn’t project that much, but that’s fine. Aqva stays close to the skin with decent longevity. Great bottle too; very classy and tactile.
Viridis – :
@mohoshinkhan go for Bvlgari Aqva amara.
den33d2008 – :
Top scent for my tastes. So often perfumes belong to a group or cliche and remind me of one and another but it’s a delight that for my nose nothing has the same DNA (except the flanker Marine & Toniq). We all like to be individual/original at heart after all.
Opens fresh marine, woodsy, sweet, fresh and has an ‘energy’ about it. There’s also a dark blue metallic inky streak that I can’t put my finger on – maybe it’s this posidonia….?
Although it’s my signature and can’t stop coming back to it I’ve always been disappointed about lifespan as the the opener is so good it is a shame this lasts on the nose for 10-20 mins max. You know it’s still there but the nose doesn’t pick it up in the same way.
The skinscent you’re left with is exsquisite on this frag which I’ve taken as being vetiver with this blue marine edge to it – amazing that I get this after a full day and a swim – it’s still there! (Slightly confused though as no Vetiver on the notes..am I wrong on this?)
I can’t say I get compliments on my frags very often but this has accounted for probably 90% of them. Suits me great and can’t see it being knocked off my #1 spot.
Crash278 – :
Ocean, green, oriental and masculine. Please, YOLO! Grab a bottle. You will never regret it. There may be times that this wont fit a formal occasion. But then again, who goes to formal occasion everyday? Together with from Bulgari Blue, this one is a must have from this house. Go on, get one. Don’t think twice. This is a good fragrance that everyman must have. I promise you. Get one! Now!
zhuravli1950 – :
Opens with a nice blast of citrus that almost immediately dissipates. Salty seaweed and lavender take over, with woody patchouli defining the drydown. Interesting, but I can’t imagine when I would want to smell like seaweed. The only time I could imagine this scent being desirable is perhaps a beach rave in Ibiza. This is not a fragrance to blind buy, and is NOT an office safe choice. Takes the term aquatic to a very literal place. Performance is nothing special, maybe 4-5 hours at most.
immortal78 – :
I had I think a 50ml “puck” of this stuff, which I flew through. Got lots of compliments I recall. Sexy, but smelled a touch medicinal, and also a whisper cheap. I’ve tried some of the flankers…some aren’t bad, but some suck(that gold one ‘Amara’ smelled yecch to me). Might get a 100ml of this again in the far future(have soooo many other scent obligations, and only SIGNATURE scents get refilled first, LOL).

The first day I wore this fragrance was a summery day. The sun was high and the sky was a glorious blue. Few moments later, just before I left home for the shopping center, it rained hard. Really hard.
That’s almost exactly what Bvlgari Aqva Pour Homme’s vibe is all about. As if it takes you to a forested island in the middle of a deep, blue ocean. Underneath a rather dark, thunder-clouded sky. Raging waves. Gusting winds. Huge drops of rain starting to fall from the horizon. And then you smell all the grains, greens, and woods in the island—with some registry of marine decays and sea-salty air. It must be the Posidonia seaweed note.
This fragrance is not a clean scent. Not a total crowd pleaser. To me, it leans more on the “dark aquatic” side—which I really love about it. Longevity and sillage are both moderate, although some girl friends who smelled this on me consider it strong. And I see where they are coming from. They refer rather on the quality of the scent itself, which is not as clean as the citrusy scents of mostly orange notes that they have been used to.
I remember the first day I wore this fragrance, at the shopping center, there were only three of us lined up at the cashier counter. Myself and a woman with a young girl, presumably a mother and her child. The girl said, “It smells like water.” The woman replied, “Since when have water had a scent?” And in my mind, I just knew it was my scent. Whether or not that’s a coincidence, I do not know, just as the sudden change in the weather on that day.
Bvlgari Aqva Pour Homme is an aquatic masterpiece. It’s definitely a staple.

This scent is amazing…I remember the time years ago, when I bought this for a first time. On the bottle of the old verssion has printed name of Bvlgari and Aqva tohgether on the bottle and the smell was long, long lasting…Today I deceided to buy it again..but OMG thi is totally reformulated and very weak smell. Today verssion is nothing lik an old one…very dissapointed…

Richmilton-i had the same thing going on at first but all of a sudden i can smell this for around 6+ hours now.very odd but others can also pick it up so it must have been my nose!
gry2010 – :
This is either incredible weak or I’m anosmic to this one. I can’t smell anything 20 seconds after the initial spray except for a small hint of a salty aquatic which is very nice for the few minutes it lasts on me. I know it’s not a fake because I bought a small 0.17oz sample. Some people here are calling this is beast with hours of projection and sillage. How I really wish that was the same for me. This is known as the classic oceanic fragrance with its seaweed, salty water notes. But I get nothing. In contrast, Bvlgari Amara is amazing and lasts a long time on me. So this is really confusing because I’ve read both Aqva PH and Amara have similar. Not to me. The Amara is awesome, and the Aqva is alcohol and salt water.
Костя 5 – :
I bought this last year (the biggest bottle there is…) after having a vial tester. Although I like it, really citrusy fresh and sweet, just enough salty seaweed to remind you of the beach, it becomes too cloying on hot temperatures. Even during winter but when my body temp heats up, it becomes too much for me. The silage and longevity is beast, but I would not wear this to office often as it might be too offensive for people around. Great for workouts and sports activities.
Overall a very wonderful fragrance, well worth the price and presentation is great for bottle collectors.

Fragrance -Aqva Pour Homme Bvlgari
Bottle from – 2014
Aqva Pour Homme reminds me of walking on the island coast just after the storm,with peace in my heart and soul.This isn’t a typical aquatic fragrance.Courtesy to a seaweed note,Aqva Pour Homme is more salty,green,herbal,complex and deep,than the ordinary aquatic-citrus scents.Nevertheless it is a nice,masculine,fresh and well-blended scent.
Longevity – 7/10(7+hours)
Silage/projection -7/10(moderate projection for the first 2-3 hours)
Weather – best in spring,summer(Versatility-9/10)
