Bulgari Aqua Pour Homme Eau de Toilette - 100 ml

Product Information

So this year I had the urge to revisit that smell of the sea, especially given that I used to live by the Mediterrean and I often miss that salty blue maritime vibe. When I think of summer and oceanic fragrances this is what I think of, it's bright and citrusy in the opening and dries down into a beautiful woody scent. However, this one is simple and perfect as a summer aquatic fragrance that doesn't need to fill a room or pull tons of compliments, like the flankers can. 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.

There was a brief slightly dirty phase, but overall if you like somewhat fresh, slightly sweet green aromatics, I'd suggest sampling this. I believe the saltiness comes through from the seaweed note, but in my opinion comes across very different in comparison to other fragrances I have with the seaweed note. Even though I was a little disappointed because of my expectations I have to say that it is a very pleasant scent. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice.An important piece in my collection and I'm delighted to see my bottle comes from March 2005, which is the first year it was released.

These fragrances are often constructed in a different manner to the traditional French Model and are formulated in one single burst.You won't get good performance with this below 75 degrees so save it for the hot days and wear something else on the cooler days. The saltiness of the sea has mellowed down into something robust that stayed with a prominent smell on me for hours.

It is this ethos and attitude that we are proud to say is embedded across our company and infused in everything we do. Channel allure sport or versace's eau fraiche smell great and fresh but it misses the feeling of being somewhere else. At IDS we aim to create a culture of sustainability, guiding our decision making and direction as a business with an international scope. This is not so bad, definitely the best of the 3 original Aquas but a bit too generic and overused for my taste.Projection and longevity are now also subpar - but that may be a good thing, since I don't want this new version to stay long on my skin. I was gifted a bottle of this around 2010, at first I thought it was a strange smelling brew but then quickly grew to love it's oddly compelling nature which really made me think of the deep blue sea like no other fragrance. I think it's safe to say that it is also the most masculine of the Aqva series with Amara coming in second. Either way this fragrance will linger for a surprisingly long time on the skin, it’s casual and wearable anytime and works particularly well in summer.

The imagery it evoked was like a heavy, wet stone covered in moss, sitting confidently near a river in the forest after a heavy thunderstorm. It is a one-dimensional fragrance, the light mandarin opening is quickly followed by the smell of the deep sea really reminds me of when I am fishing. Non-salty aquatic, excessively comfortable and with a serious performance defect: it projects half arm for 45 mins and then it disappears from the skin. This has after the initial spray on drydown a not overly strong sweet seaweed with a deep wood and orange and lavender seamlessly and smoothly mixed just above patchouli giving a sort of damp cardboard effect, all the while a touch of salt sits on top.Now, I have the feeling I can understand the concept behind these - soft and at the same complex blends that won't project that much except under the right circumstances. hours later, while driving home, I could not help myself and kept on taking my hand off the steering wheel just to sniff this masterpice again.
