Aqva Pour Homme Atlantiqve
by Bvlgari
Bvlgari Aqva Pour Homme Atlantiqve is a powerful, highly projecting aquatic-blue fragrance with a strong oceanic character. The opening features bright citrus bergamot, lemon, and sage alongside fresh water notes and a prominent pear-like sweetness from apple and a hint of melon, creating a youthful, effervescent aura. This evolves into a distinctive salty marine accord with subtle seaweed notes carried by calone and ambroxan, giving the impression of sun-baked ocean air. The drydown lingers with a smooth, ambery-woody blend of benzoin, patchouli, sandalwood, and vetiver, delivering excellent longevity and moderate sillage. While some users report a 'raw egg' odor due to the salted ambery notes and ammonium in the scent, most find it pleasant and compelling. It is especially suited for warm weather, day wear, and casual settings, appealing to those who enjoy a strong, fresh, and marine-scented fragrance with a modern twist.
