What does Aqua smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are rated good, though few people have voted on either. Voters spread their picks fairly evenly across spring, summer and fall and rarely choose winter. Leisure, business and daily wear lead the occasions. Most voters read it as feminine, though a fair number call it masculine.

The top notes of geranium, cinnamon and bergamot open fresh and spicy. In the heart, rose, orange blossom and iris add a floral, slightly powdery softness. The base of tonka bean, patchouli and sandalwood settles it onto a sweet, woody footing. Bvlgari Bvlgari pour Femme (Eau de Parfum) and Montblanc Individuel (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.
