About this deal

What I’m finally left with is seaweed, soaking in the ocean, with hints of lavender and cedar that has become driftwood. Salty and a bit of fresh spice from the latent sage note. Aqva Marine pour Homme is one of the most beloved fragrances by Bulgari and a perennial favourite. It was unveiled to the world in 2012. Also known as aromatic water, eaux de toilette, such as this one, have a lower proportion of essential oils than parfums do, generally between 5-15%. Because they are light, they are the go-to choice for office wear. A Harmonious Blend Aqva pour Homme is an upscale fragrance by Bulgari and the signature scent of many a man. It first hit the shelves in 2005. Jacques Cavallier is the nose behind this iconic classic. Once known as toilet water, eau de toilettes, such as this one, have a lower portion of volatile oils than parfums do, generally between 5-15%. Because they are lighter, they are a clever choice for daytime wear. A Harmonious Blend I’ve had a mini bottle of this for ages, now. On my skin, that 4-5 hour range, is a hard limit. It does have that light watery sillage, but this one isn’t ever going to be an all day wear. More like, something you throw on during a warm day, knowing it will fade into the evening.

Keep it casual. Aqva isn’t going to be a date night scent and the sea notes, really don’t put out a formal vibe, in the slightest. For a fairly popular fragrance, it uses are pretty limited. Also, Aqva begins to hang much closer to the skin, and you won’t detect it for a few minutes and then it’ll hit your nose again. It’s kind of a weird experience.I really wanted to like this because Jacques Cavallier is behind it, and even in boring genres like aquatics he tends to excel; just look at Acqua di Giò pour Homme (1996) or L'Eau d'Issey pour Homme (1994) for examples of him turning something that could have been a dullard into a classic, but it just isn't so with Aqva Pour Homme by Bvlgari (2006). The 2000's was at first ruled by the fruity ozonic and candy-sweet gourmand, neither of which were very good options for guys wanting to smell like guys, or at least how guys used to smell in decades past. This is why I think aquatics began experiencing a second wind, especially after Ralph Lauren made a "dressy" aquatic in the form of Polo Blue (2002), which basically gave some much-needed respect to the genre that had up until that point been narrowly-defined as beach/vacation/summer fragrance for basic guys that don't know better. Aquatics still had a battle against all the melon and grapefruit nose rape or caramel coffee patchouli gourmand destruction being shoveled onto perfume counters, but Aqva Pour Homme helped further bridge the 90's staple genre with modern tastes by using a drier style merged with a "seaweed" note that feels inspired by Ralph Lauren Polo Sport (1993), which also used such a note in its construction. The big failing here of course isn't the concept of the fragrance, but the execution, right down to the bottle itself. I also hope that if you blind buy this, you're not a fan of Bvlgari's house tea note, since if you are, you will certainly be disappointed as neither this scent nor any of its flankers possess that lovely tea.

S8 PRESCRIPTION

It doesn’t get much more ‘aquatic’ than a scent whose main note is seaweed. Yes, that green stuff at the bottom of the ocean, gives Bvlgari Aqua a very interesting aroma which helps sets it apart from the crowd. Authority to prescribe an Authority medicine is granted for specific indications and/or for certain patient circumstances. Authority may be obtained by telephone to Medicare Australia (known as "phone approval") or in writing from an authorised delegate of the Minister for Health. Overall, do I like Aqua? Yes, it’s kind of a niche fragrance in terms of its use, but has a wide appeal in terms of its smell. This is a unique scent by Bvlgari (before they released all of the flanker versions), the seaweed and oceanic aroma give it a defined spot to wear on the calendar, and it is a great wear from the aquatic category. The first aromatic-aquatic appeared in 1991, making this signature a relative newcomer to the fragrance world. The herbaceous notes are brightened with breezy oceanic tones, resulting in a salty, rugged freshness. When this particular product is first applied, orange and mandarin hit the nose. These are supplanted by a heart note of lavender. The experience summits with a base of amber, woodsy notes, clary sage, patchouli and cedar. (Patchouli, Pogostemon cablin, is a flowering plant closely related to mint. Its smell is often described as intoxicating.) Bulgari Fragrances: Pricing
