Salty
This is a good take on aquatics, despite i prefer the original version.

This one is a great option for summer, with good lasting power and average projection.

The citric notes in the opening are more pronounced than on the original Aqvua and it's more fresh in the drydown.

Very salty indeed. Subtle yet present.

Summer Freshies
This is a joint review of Aqva Pour Homme and Aqva Pour Homme Marine. Both of these are fresh scents that work well in summer.

Aqva Pour Homme opens with a refreshing burst of strong citrus. As it begins to dry down, an aquatic accord appears that is rather subtle along with a slightly green accord. I wouldn't say it's a very strong aquatic scent. After about 20 minutes or so, it takes on a very synthetic accord that's slightly plastic-y, which I didn't care for. It wasn't awful, but it wasn't great.

Aqva Pour Homme Marine doesn't open with strong citrus, despite the top notes. More obvious was a stronger melon like scent. As it dried down, the melon scent was reined in along with the appearance of a subtle woody note which gave the impression of an aquatic or marine scent. Marine is definitely the more aquatic scent than Aqva Pour Homme. I also found Marine to be slightly less synthetic and no trace of a plastic scent.

As is typical with most freshies, performance overall was mediocre although Marine had a slight edge. Longevity was about 5 hours tops with reasonable projection for about an hour. My preference though, is for Marine. Both are rather expensive for what they are.

Salty seawater
To be completely honest, I don't see the point of this flanker. I really like Aqva pour Homme, and I know it well seeing that an ex wore it as his signature. It's one masculine aquatic that I found more than pleasant on a man's skin, but I can't say the same for Aqva pour Homme Marine.

This flanker is quite sharp and chemical on the skin. It's an aquatic through and through, so in some ways it does evoke that 'marine' sensation. Aquatics are really popular during Summer, but they've never been a hit with me. Unfortunately, Aqva pour Homme Marine has failed to captivate me. It's just a mixture of seawater and citrus to my nose.

Aqva pour Homme Marine may not be my cup of tea, but I do admire its freshness. The opening was not unlike Polo Blue by Ralph Lauren, with a similar cucumber crispness and a bright, sparkling grapefruit accord. Seeing that this fragrance projects quite strongly, anyone that wishes to experience a lighter version, should definitely test Aqva pour Homme Marine in the aftershave, which I personally find much smoother and less bold.

The salty accord will either delight you or repulse you, as this flanker really does encompass the scent of the ocean, complete with a sea breeze. I like men that smell mysterious, but for something more straight-forward, Aqva pour Homme Marine does cater to that relaxed, dreamy atmosphere.

The longevity and sillage are fantastic. I am even quite pleased with this flanker having enough character to set itself apart from the original Aqva pour Homme. I wouldn't dislike the scent of Aqva pour Homme Marine on a man, but I can't say I would find myself in any way drawn to it. But then again, each to their own.

Blue Peace is Calling You
I know how the smell of the sea is because I grew up at the coastal city...Calming sea odor... I generally go to the seaside and feel the smell of the sea when I want to make myself happy. Because the smell of the sea is one of the scents that give me peace.
Especially I know the smell of Black Sea. It is so vixenish and charming. When the wave hits the shore, it brings us that beautiful fresh sea scent. This smell is the same smell.

It is an aquatic smell. Aquatic notes are very dominant and fresh. You also feel Neptune grass . But don't be afraid. Not dirty moss. It's clean and nice Neptune grass :) This is a blue calling for peace. Smell quality is definitely above average.

I like it since the first time I smelled it. When I smelled this smell for the first time, I was with my darling. Because this fragrance is a gift my darling gave me.I always like this odor.

Definitely a fragrance suitable for 4 seasons but especially for hot weather . Also a fragrance for holidays and suitable for daily use.

Especially in my clothes more permanent than on my skin. Even my clothes smell like clean sea ...a sea from peace.

Zesty, bright & super fresh aquatic. Better & more versatile than Megamare (which I recently wore). Lasts a fair bit too. Worth having.

A fresher and saltier version of the OG. The seaweed note is toned down a bit, perfect for scorching heat

The smell is subjective, but not to fall in love with this is difficult. It is one of the most oceanic, well blend and truly relaxing scent.

If you're looking for one of these men's aquatics (here: unisex) and you don't go for Cool Water (the best!), then this one will do.

Cool sea freshness combined with citrus notes and grasses. What went wrong with Aqva is done right here. Perfect for warm days.
