What does Aqua smell like?

Voters place Aqua mostly in sport, leisure and daytime use, with office wear not far behind. Longevity and sillage are both moderate, so it stays close to the skin rather than filling a room. It is classed as a men's fragrance.

It opens with bergamot, which gives a fresh citrus lift. The heart pairs aquatic notes with jasmine, adding a soft floral touch to the watery feel. Cedarwood in the base gives it a woody footing, and a synthetic edge shows among the accords. Rituals Silent Waters and La Rive Free Motion Blue have a close profile.
