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. 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 do love the Versace pour homme/Missoni Wave dna, it's the scent of being on a lake on a hot summer day, Aqva pour homme is being on a beach at the sea and stumbling for some light green plants on you way back to the hotel. I think it will likely grow on me after a few wears, but initial thoughts are that it's linear and boring and doesn't have a great deal of depth. My bottle is brand new, and I was worried by reports that reformulation may have killed or diluted the fragrance.

If you are a fanatic of aquatic scents it is most preferable to purchase instead the Aqua atlantique or if it is doable the Aqua amara. The scent itself is very unique to me, though, and you won't catch anyone else wearing it since its such a hidden gem.I am not the type of person who would spend my summer vacation at some beaches but this is how I imagine myself would smell like while swimming. However my ex GF (who had given me the bottle) soon made the bottle her own (ie we 'shared' it lol). Peut être que je n ai pas eu de chance sur la série achetée mais le parfum reçu est très faible et vaguement chimiquement frais.

In fact rather than the sea it reminded me of the smell of a drained lake or pond, an underlying algae/fishy/eggy smell though not as bad as in the Aqva Amara flanker. Not a scent that is going to attract the majority of young women-- probably women that have a penchant for nature or a manly man. All in all, there are better aquatic smells, there are better gasoline smells, and this combo doesn't quite do the trick for me. However, this surprises you with its sillage; as every once and awhile you'll catch yourself having a "oh, is that me? My opinion it’s one of the better Aqua scents out on the market, definitely worth adding to the summer collection.Fresh, invigorating and it does set itself apart from the traditional aquatic fragrances, specially the contemporary "flavor" of aquatics. 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. The cedar and woodsy notes incorporate fresh wood, slightly bitter and green accords; the last noticeable note is the clary sage, which adds a herbaceous and light leathery touch, soft but noticeable.

I think it's safe to say that it is also the most masculine of the Aqva series with Amara coming in second. 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. This fragrance is inspired by iridescent reflections of water Fresh, elegant masculine Features a blend of marine scents with a woody essence Contains notes of mandarin, petit grain, santolina mineral amber Gives a touch of sensuality richness. I will say, it has a childhood familiarity to it in the sense that it's as if I've smelt this before years and years ago.
