Aqua Motu Eau de Toilette Comptoir Sud Pacifique for women and men

At first, I thought "Aqua Motu" would be soft and weak on my skin. Gosh, what a surprise! By the way, it isn't as aquatic as its name may imply. Instead, it's marine... can you understand the difference (if there's any)?

I believe there's a really strong floral note that shines on my skin. I thought it would be frangipani, but it seems to be the immortelle. It's almost nauseating! I can also feel a "sandy" vibe coming from "Aqua Motu" that doesn't necessarily reminds of beaches and sun lotions, but hot days instead.

"Aqua Motu" is interesting but I think it's way too strong for some hot days that we have in Brazil. I guess I'll use it on cold days like today to remind me of my days on the sun...

I love Aqua Motu!!! :) It smells like sunlotion and sand!!It travels me to beautiful islands!!!

This reminds me so much of Profumum's Acqua di Sale. Or should it be the other way around? I don't know which was released first!

It's cool, salty, watery, sandy, and the aroma of seaweed adds an organic touch to the fragrance, making it feel somehow more "alive" than the other aromatic aquatic fragrances I've tested. Even though it's a "cool" type of fragrance, the notes seem to bind well with the warmth of skin, and rather than creating a sillage monster that floats in a cloud around me, it becomes an intimate skin scent that reminds me of walking along salty shores.

When I wore this one day..a shopkeeper said"Hmm you smell like...like..like...."like the Sea"? I said..."Yes! Thats it!! You smell like the sea..lovely!! I love it..just like a day at the sea with all it brings....

Aqua Motu was a re-issue for the Eaux de Voyage line and was originally called MOTU when it was first released in 1992. Here are the notes from CSP:

ozone, iodine, rosemary, algae, moss, ylang ylang, pepper, patchouli, orange and cedarwood.

its the perfect summer smell, shame it lasts only for minutes!!! Exactly the same but with longer life on the skin is Etoile de Rem.

Comptoir Sud Pacifique AQUA MOTU is a rather odd fragrance. Yes, it smells somewhat like seawater at the beach, mingling with sand. But it also smells like the plants that wash up on the shore, the green vines and leaves of underwater foliage.

The opening seems to have an extra note, similar in some ways to...well, to be honest, it smells not unlike masculine sweat, with just a touch of sourness. Fortunately, the opening fades fast, and the drydown is entirely inoffensive and even agreeable. In fact, it reminds me just a bit of BOIS FARINE.

I think that, all and all, AQUA MOTU is just okay. I bought a 50ml bottle blind, and I'll use it now and then, sitting on my deck on days like today with the wind swirling about. I'll look at all of the trees and listen to the birds and imagine that I'm in Jamaica or Barbados or Puerto Rico or Trinidad or Cozumel or somewhere else where sea and salt and sweat all mingle together peacefully under the sun.

It's a tranquil scent I wear just for myself. When I smell it, I hear waves lapping at a lagoon.

Suntan lotion! This is just great, it smells so clean and light and not too perfumey. It would be great in the summer, though I'd wear it all year round.

I bought it just to try, but it did surprise me. I like to wear it for the days since it reminds of fresh water. The only problem I saw is that it´s not too strong, so, you can´t smell unless it toooo close.

Every time I wear this someone says I smell sooo good. I mix this with Aquazur by Lancaster and even a little Aqua Alleagoria Anise for a longer lasting effect. Smells like a fresh breeze off the ocean. So refreshing and clean it just wakes you up.

Hummm....,Yeah It's has an image of summer and sea breeze in it,Fresh clean and watery,I don't know why but some notes make me thinking of watermelon!The scent is so natural(maybe too natural),somehow,I didn't feel that I wearing any fragrance,but feel like the scent come directly from my skin.I have some conflict opinion,I feel that this one has no sillage but it's long lasting, sound weird?but it's true.I think this is what its was designed for.Very skin scent,very discreet.Would be perfect for someone,who want to smell clean&natural,but not for anyone who love a strong sillage.For me? I love the scent but want a stronger one.

I like so much this one , close your eyes and smell it, you will feel the power of ocean sun wind and sand. Too bad that is not long lasting one so u can try Rem by Reminesence , it's the same fragrance

Yes, i smell salt and sand in this perfume ;o)

It's a fragrance like a sea, very fresh and salty- so specific. One of my favourites.

Fresh watery and green, very pleasant, for hot summer days.
