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. I wear this fragrance for a long time and I can say that it is nice, fresh, aquatic and masculine fragrance BUT nothing mind blowing.

The fragrance feels airy, breeze (oceanic), exotic, fresh, slightly green, slightly leathery, marine, masculine, modern, natural, salty, woody, and pleasant. Unlike some online retailers, all of our products come in the original manufacturer packaging and are 100% genuine.

This is a fairly linear frag but as that God awful seaweed note fades and a light musky amber steps up, it becomes very pleasant. It smells like a storm, fresh air, it induces a state of reflection, as if you were standing on a rock with your hands resting on your head and your eyes lost on the horizon. But it was never trying to be avant-garde in the first place, so why judge it according to those standards?

I remember it used to be more like salty sea breeze but the latest time i put it on it's a lot more green, less salty but still in very aquatic DNA. In the winter it reminds me of leaving the indoor swim practice when you still have chlorine in your hair. To my dismay, it smells like it was stripped down, castrated, distorted, chewed up, spat out, and bottled under the old name. I think it's safe to say that it is also the most masculine of the Aqva series with Amara coming in second. A Q V A by BUGAAERI " seems to be the appropriate way to announce this when anyone asks what you're wearing.This smells great at the first spray, clean and fresh, but after a while the salty and fishy smell start to emerge, salty plus fishy, well, some might said this is the scent of the ocean, but it makes the impression of the sweaty man who works in the fish market to me. 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. A citrusy bright opening and a dark herbal drydown, this is a crisp and dry scent that I would highly recommend to any 30+ gentleman who enjoys aquatics but wants something a little more serious. Bvlgari Aqva is very masculine, how man should smell out at sea or just in the summertime in general. I see a lot of sensitive noses disliking the seaweed note and trying to make this out to be a harsh scent, it's not.
