Freshwater

Freshwater by Bath & Body Works delivers a clean, aquatic profile that closely mirrors the iconic Acqua di Gio, with a focus on crisp bergamot and mossy woody drydown. The scent is linear and straightforward, opening with a bright, juicy citrus and aquatic note that settles quickly into a soft, skin-like moss and oakmoss base. It performs better than many modern versions of Acqua di Gio and offers a light, wearable freshness ideal for warm weather and daily use. Though lasting only moderately and projecting moderately, it lingers pleasantly on skin and clothing, especially when applied generously. Many users appreciate its affordability and understated elegance, noting it feels like a refined version of classic aquatic colognes with a subtle, unobtrusive trail. It's especially praised as a budget-friendly dupe for high-end aquatic scents like Versace Pour Homme or Prada Aqua.
