by Bvlgari
Aqva Pour Homme Marine Toniq by Bvlgari is a highly distinctive aquatic fragrance with an herbal, slightly spicy profile. It opens with a sharp, citrusy burst of grapefruit and pear, which quickly transitions into a notable marine and seaweed accord that gives it a refreshing, somewhat salty character. Over time, the fragrance integrates into a smooth, aromatic sandalwood base, underpinned by virginia cedar and subtle herbal notes, creating a drydown that is both sweetly woody and subtly spicy. Many users find it to be longer-lasting and more balanced than its counterparts in the Aqva series, with notable longevity and moderate sillage, making it particularly well-suited for daywear during summer months. It evokes beachside freshness and is praised for its ability to stand out in a subtle, sophisticated way rather than being loud or overwhelming. While some descriptors mention fishiness, the consensus is that the scent leans more toward aromatic aquatic complexity than literal fishy odors, and is often compared favorably to Kenzo Homme and Boucheron Jaipur for its layered, beach-inspired elegance.
