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.
