What does Aqua smell like?

It opens with bergamot and lime, bright and citrusy with a light fruity edge. In the heart, lavender, coriander and seawater carry that freshness into an aquatic mood. The base of vetiver, musk, amber and woody notes softens it, with a slightly synthetic feel.

Longevity and sillage are moderate, so it leaves a quiet trail. Most voters pick it for daily wear, followed by business and leisure, with sport also among its common uses. It is made for men and suits daytime, clean and easygoing. Calvin Klein CK All and Afnan Perfumes Turathi (Blue) have a close profile.
