Abies balsamea - corporeal, gentle, and sovereign.
Take a seat and bring some time with you.

Hissing on the skin: immediately good quality! No ugly phase like so often with many Arabic perfumes. Good fragrance oils right from the start.

A green undertone and a lot of sweet resin. The impression of menthol, however, very discreet. Fir balsam can be specifically sensed here. It's time to breathe, deep fresh, cool air fills the lungs.

Incense-like, a bit clerical, but not overwhelming, rather transparent, it continues with nuances.

Seaweed without the sea, without salt, which relieves me, as it is finely woven.

Only later do I notice the pepper as such. Nice and spicy, but not dominant.

What a beautiful work, that immediately and without circumlocution harmonizes optimally with my skin.

On the test strip, the composition appears significantly more transparent, a bit sweeter. Here, the woods can be sensed more directly, and subtly the oud can also be perceived. Pleasantly garnished with that coarsely ground pepper.

An aura of classicism and concrete masculinity. Very self-assured, affirming, and uplifting. Positive masculinity.

Elegant, old Gelder style, exalted against all the unrest of this world. Decelerating and uncompromisingly sovereign.

Gradually, the composition merges into harmony.

My test gave me no aquatic notes. But deliberately pulling this theme before my inner eye, I can sense what might serve. Over time, it definitely acquires something maritime without becoming exhaustingly blue. Here, the Aquarius actually becomes subtly salty. Seaweed becomes more pronounced without overwhelming anything.

I am a Northman under the pitch-black night and starless sky, without the intention of navigation.
Barefoot, cold sand presses between my toes.
A warm breeze, almost comfortably warm, embraces me and softly carries the conifers with it. Only the sea reflects dancing streaks of light, a neon blue shimmer, as is customary at full moon, on that deep black. Where it comes from is irrelevant and unimportant.
Bearded white, the Northman’s cap, firm and secure. Navy blue, fine twine on bare chest hair. Linen pants dance loosely around the legs.

A masterpiece for me, that I have not yet had under my nose. From the first spray, fanatic! Enthusiasm, at first completely without limits!

At dawn, the woods reveal themselves, dry, sweet Palo Santo-like. A gentle oud accompanies, completely without animalic notes. Sweet, gentle styrax shimmers balsamically. Sacred warmth.

A deep and complex composition.

The packaging seems kitschy from a distance, but close to the heart, pure white and pretty blue.
Surprised by the lightness of the bottle, almost lifting a carpal tunnel syndrome.

Regarding this whole design theme around astrology, one might call it marketing, I can't say much. The bottle is adorned with a turquoise stone simulation. As far as I know, it is supposed to be the stone of Aquarius. Otherwise, everything is nice to look at in terms of ornaments and decorations. To me, it is quite secondary.

I prepared myself for the worst with this blind buy. Yet, I was completely surprised to experience a solid and vibrant wow effect from the very beginning. It's been a long time since I felt such enthusiasm regarding a perfume.

Clearly, one should not lick honey from my words. A blind purchase is not for everyone. The composition seems more suited for lovers and, without stereotypes in terms of fragrance profile, a niche. Not pleasing, pleasing.

And this is the overall composition after the drydown, significantly more pleasing than this wonderful dream play knows how to create at the beginning. After such a large kaleidoscope, it dries down to a composed, sweet-resinous composition. Everything is super harmonious and balanced.

Only here, towards the end, do I recognize the unisex potential of "Aquarius." A lush femininity, with an engaging and sympathetic authority that radiates reliability and familiarity.

To me, it becomes a bit too sweet, too soft from here. The pronounced masculinity experiences a limitation. The scent initially deceives with a complex tough guy facade and then finally reveals its soft core.

Despite all the sweetness that humbly makes me step back from the impression of having found a complete fragrance, it does not change the fact that I happily let "Aquarius" enter my life with joy, refreshment, and delight.
There remain fir, balsam, resin.

A balsamic and sweeter version of Lalique - Encre Noire. The damp earth dominates, but we definitely don't have an aquatic here.

I really like this green-spicy Aquarius + it shows the niche where the frog has its curls! Balanced, harmonious, and coherent.

The most realistic seaweed scent I've had so far. This must be what it smells like in a kelp forest. An unembellished ocean fragrance. True to life.
