... and a world-class scent. As a perfume in the true sense, it is a failure; AF's longevity, as has been described multiple times here, is too pathetic. This is also related to the weak scent intensity or perfume oil concentration, which unfortunately cannot even be classified as an EdC, but rather falls into the realm of aftershave/body spray.
Nevertheless, I am infatuated with this little fragrance. I use Aquafitness as a room spray or a few spritzes on my shirt or sleeves and wrists to have it with me. At my desk, while driving, and last but not least - during sports. Here, AF shines; its aforementioned shortcomings as a perfume make it my ideal sport scent. It refreshes me, and the improved sillage due to body heat and movement, especially during indoor sports and in combination with the deodorant roller, envelops me with its pleasant-fresh-clean scent, which lightens up any tough training session. Teammates, coaches, and physiotherapists respond positively.
Of course, Parfumo is more the habitat of perfume connoisseurs and enthusiasts, many of whom consider Aquafitness to be a banal product - I can practically see the head-shaking over a 9.5 and the designation "world-class." But I stand by it: AF is not a good perfume, but the scent is the highest contemporary perfume art.
The top note is characterized by a unique freshness. This combination of curly mint, lemon, and water freshness has been executed hundreds of times, but not in this quality. I smell very high-quality natural oil analogues and masterfully implemented isolate/essential oil combinations. Most "fresh" scents fail here and turn into shower gel or dish soap, but not AF. The lemon is juicy, sweet, sunny, fresh, and remains extremely natural. The "indoor pool-chlorine" described in a previous comment is the curly mint. Good curly mint oil has a slightly tactile-heavy wafting component that one might associate with chlorinated water. If you perceive it, it speaks to the quality of the raw materials.
I find the mint note here fantastic. Sure, it reminds one of chewing gum, but also of Moroccan tea and juicy herb gardens. Above all, it is refreshing, invigorating, and "mouth-watering."
The heart note then adds sweetness. Whether this is musk sage and blackthorn is debatable. But undoubtedly, it is a sweetness with plant-green, woody-nutty aspects that skillfully support the top note, giving it "body" and actually managing to carry delicate, recurring whispers of the top note into the base. Here too, I don't smell a trace of synthetics.
The musk is soft and sweet - yet feather-light and with a subtle hint of sweaty-animalistic masculinity, which is excellent and anything but repulsive. Just fresh sports sweat. Cedar is also the synonym for ISE here, but it can only be perceived in traces. Fortunately, because that’s how it is actually intended and also the strongest.
So this weakly-bodied elixir even has a progression, and then a remarkably well-thought-out composition. Whoever created this stuff knows what he/she was doing.
The rather high price for the low fragrance concentration is almost justified, as the ingredients surely belong to the better ones available to the perfumer.
Sometimes I also get the feeling that this fragrance oil mixture couldn't even be applied in a higher concentration, as it might otherwise lose its lightness and freshness and drift towards Le Male and its ilk. It would confirm the "world-class" performance of the creators that I postulated.
Man, all these sports reporter phrases are so worn out. Like a mint chewing gum.
