I hate sports. ALL sports. Even sports FRAGRANCES. Well, slap my ass and call me Debbie, because this arrived on my doorstep after winning Free Perfume Friday and it's a sports fragrance I actually like. It's as if somebody invented a sport where the winners got to violate the losers. Hey, I'd watch that. I know, I'm the scum of the earth. It's good to be able to say something nice for a change. Even though it's more fum to say something nasty. This is a citrus/spicy/woody by the seashore thing. Why do people call this stuff aquatic? Nothing about these scents smells like the sea. Oh, yes, because they are all trying to reformulate Cool Water, I forgot. This is one of those, and a very good job, too. No real surprises, but it has a certain something that raises it above the noxious rivers of pimp fluid peddled as sports fragrance. My tastes run more towards the calssic European in masculines; you know, Eau Sauvage, Gueulain's Cologne Imperial, Habit Rouge, or the bizarre,like Yatagan. But I like this one, even though I probably won't wear it much. Go easy on it, guys, it's strong, and one bottle should last so long that it will have nostalgic irony value when it's only half gone. Snazzy bottle, too, as you might expect from a high-end jeweler - a heavy, deep blue-green and chrome hemisphere that fits niceley into the hand, ideal for inflicting serious head injuries. So if you get it as a present and hate it, you can express your displeasure by using it to brain somebody. What's not to like?

an incredibly unique aquatic scent that makes you feel as if you're near the salty waves :)
This is signature summer scent
Dont get AdG, get this!

me again, but already a member now ;)

smells great on me. last long 6-8 hours. on my fifth bottle now :)

@dancam86: aqva smells different compare to polo blue. the closest one has to be Acqua di Gio, but Adg don't have the bitter-spicy note in Aqva :)

I disagree with both posts below. Polo Blue smells simple compared to Aqva and doesn't develop over time. Its exactly same all time. Aqva is fruity at begining and spicy later. ADG is great but definitely sweater. I think Aqva and Polo Blue are more masculine than ADG. They are all good in some way and I own Aqva and ADG and use them on different occasions and moods. None of them is long lasting though (compared to JPG Le Male or CK One).

I would say that:

Polo Blue is sweat and spicy
Aqva citrusy and spicy
ADG citrusy and sweat

Bulgari Aqva Pour Homme.

Bvlgari enter the aquatic fragrance market with the new mens scent Aqva Pour Homme.

This aromatic fragrance, formulated by Firmenich, has top notes which include mandarin and orange tree leaves, followed by notes of santolina and the strongest accord posidonia, which is an aquatic plant.

The scent dries down to mineral amber.

This aquatic scent is the essence of pure masculinity.

I love this scent. It's fresh, fun, masculine and developing overtime. It's A+ edt. Only downside is that it doesn't last too long on me. I have to reaply after 3-4 hours :(

It smells very good. It is similar to Acqua Di Gio Armani.

Bvlgari Aqva is an absolutely incredible fragrance. It is extremely complex, and changes many times as it develops. Each different scent is very good (some more than others). I'm not crazy about the opening 5-10 minutes. Not bad, just not great. But on me after about 1-2 hours it's probably the best fragrance I have worn. It probably does capture the essence of the ocean more than any fragrance I have smelled. You're doing yourself a disservice if you don't at least give this one a try.

muy buen perfume... ni verano ni de invierno..... ni para todos los dias ni para ocasiones especiales...

El unico problema que tiene es que existe AQUA MARINE....

asfa

sexy and frech the best perfume for mr cavallier and firmenich.all mans mast have in collection

valdano

This is the BEST, yet Overwhelmed scent...
But it seems like everyone Have it...so it doesn't exclusive anyway!

Overall, i love this fragrance!

vincent

Other than Kenzo PH, this is the most authentic smelling marine fragrace on the market in this price category. If you like very oceanic, bitter, authentic marines, get it. If not, aviod it.

This perfume acts differently from usual way: after applying it smells like mix of Givenchy "Pour Homme" (brown) and Rochas "Aquaman". BUT after 30 minutes - 1 Hour... boys, it smells very differently! The wave of scents is coming! It has a lot of really "salty" nuanses. While having a wide spectum of them, it is NOT "pushy", it is well-balanced. No "sugar", no "menthol". First impression "good, but not strong", but re-thinking, my conclusion is "strong enough" - if has been made stronger, it can kill the carrier and his woman by an OCEAN of small salty spicy belling nuanses. It sounds like very expensive one, "exclusive, but pretending easy and simple, self-limiting internal force".
There is very interesting thing I can not explain: your hear the scent on yourself PIANO. You can better smell the scent stepping aside one meter and returning back.
While "aquatic" it is *not* for relaxation. It is too complex to relax the owner.
It is not a weapon "to make long tails among surrounding women". It is a HUGE weapon *on short range*. If you use it on dating, probably the girl will be slightly shocked by the wave of scents, ocassionally taking a seat closer to you - but may be THIS WAS the target, while creating this one, ha-ha?
=======================================
... after two weeks of using it: my wife adores it, *BUT* even small overdosing is boring, definitely killing me, I got headache. This chemistry is not for me. I am sad.
=============================
..... after another week: I spray it to my hair only, not to skin, and it is Ok. I wear it. It is simply too strong for me.
=======================
.... after yet another week: no, no, it is too strong for me. Even slight overdose is boring me.

It's the best men's aquatic fragrance that I know of. Superficial similarities aside, it beats Armani's Acqua di Gio PH hands down with its ocean deep salty ambery orangey cloak of scent that it pulls around the wearer. AND it's cheaper. Superb fresh, natural, sporty yet elegant scent, with a superb sillage and lasting power to boot.
Seems to be hugely successful in my country - and well-deservedly. That fact doesn't, however, detract any from its virtues. I myself have been through a 50 ml bottle and now am on another.
I won't be searching for another aquatic for a long time now. Thumbs up!

dasa

For spring and summer only. Very refreshing and masculine. And simple, as most aquatic scents. 8/10

Alan

Its not better than Acqua di gio,it smells like another aquatic scent.Thats what me,and everyone i know who tried this before said.I walked in to macys one day,(hoping to buy a fragrance)and when i smelled this(I was really hoping to smell this)I got really disappointed.Good,but will be remembered as an option to getting a new aquatic fragrance.

tessture

Very nice masculine aquatic, but nothing new. Water and woods. Still, I like men to smell like this. It's a wonderful brisk combination.

marinadinatata

when my boyfriend wore this one this summer, it was smelling like spring time freezias next to a lovely beach,,, i could not stop smelling him, so did other women around,, he was a little embarassed,, but veeery proud..! You should try it, on men with very fair skin and very dark hair,, everytime i smelled it on blonds was a bit of nothing..

This is definitely one of the best aquatic fragrances out there. I know that many people love comparing this fragrance with its Armani counterpart Acqua Di Gio, but in my opinion I do not think comparisons should be drawn. Aqva De Bvlgari is on its own a very unique scent. The scent really brings you on one amazing journey.

The opening notes awaken your senses and transport you to the seaside early in the morning before sunrise. You're walking along the empty beach alone as you invite the salty-sweet whiff of seaweed to subtly drift into your nostrils. It's the start of the day and you welcome the refreshing smell of citrus as it awakens you. The sun isn't out yet and you still want that little bit of time to yourself. Just you, and the sea.

Soon daylight breaks and you start to feel more adventurous. You venture out towards the sea water as the middle notes transition into something slightly more extroverted, but all the time still sleek and subtle. The salty breeze from the sea continues to fill your senses, but this time the very characteristic smell of aquatic plants moves closer to you as you embrace the waters.

You're now in the midst of the ocean, amongst the waves, the breeze, the life in the waters. As you start making your way back to shore, the base notes start to emerge. You've now moved away from the sea, but nonetheless the unforgettable and unmistakable scent of the sea lingers in your memory, omnipresent but subtle, content to remain in the background. The masculine woody notes start to come into the picture, reminding you that you're back on land, but still close to sea.

You loved the little journey you've just had, and you reach for that sleek, ocean pebble-shaped bottle again. A couple of sprays transport you all the way back to the beginning of your journey again ...

Very natural. I can actually smell the salt air of the sea in this...mmm...better than Acqua di Gio.

Smelldragon

I'm already on my second bottle.. Great perfume. I love it!

leomat2008

It remindes me a pool.
Here in Brasil, don´t stay longer in the skin.
Soft, clean, aquatic so fresh.
I like a lot!
For me, it´s one of the best water-interpretations.
L´eau par kenzo for her is good to!

Alexey

It's a very powerful, masculine and refreshing scent.

It's GREAT!!!

Moszatka

It's a very fresh and intimate fragrance. I like it on my husband and this fragrance is a delicious parfume.

guest_Dirk

guest_surya_vai

guest_dunatko

hmm... from start very fine and fresh... then comes up something i dont like to smell on me...

chance25

Ughhh. My DH sometimes spritzes himself w/ this before leaving. I can not stand it. It makes the back of my throat close up. I smell old pepper, citrus, salt and sent trails of b.o.. I want to toss it in the trash, but that's just mean.

KeLLStar

I bought this for my OH who is very picky on fragrances. It's a very refreshing yet masculine scent. Subtly sexy!

I would describe it as a modern twist on Cool Water - yet not as sweet & retains some huskiness which I'm guessing is the patchouli.
