WoodyWhat does Aqva Amara (Eau de Toilette) smell like?
It opens with Sicilian mandarin orange and Tunisian neroli, bright and fruity. At the heart, aquatic and mineral notes keep it cool and clean. The base of frankincense and Indonesian patchouli adds a lightly spicy, woody footing.
Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters recommend summer and spring, with leisure, daily wear and the office the most named settings. Most see it as masculine and modern. Pendora Amorist and Versace Dylan Blue have a close profile.
