- As requested when I reviewed the original AQVA, I'm reviewing Bvlgari's AQVA Amara.
Apologies for the lower than usual video quality for this one, the camera was slightly out of focus and the UA-cam compression doesn't do it any favours.

It is discontinued and that's a shame because it's one of my favorite summer fragrances. I love the way it brings all the different orange notes together (orang, neroli, and pettigrain). The performance is stellar and the price was right before it was discontinued.
Ive got two new bottles if you want to buy?
@@jamiemorris6088hi there do you still have the bottles?
I love that now the name of the chemicals aaron mentions appear on screen, makes it much easier to follow his explanation. Thanks!
Jacques Cavallier is a legend, such a talented perfumer.
Discontinued I believe, yes.
I absolutely love this frag, its extremely original and a summer banger.
One of my favourite fragrances. I’ll happily wear this all year round but love the summer feeling it gives me. I regret not picking more bottles up when the price was reasonable before it became discontinued.
Ich hab heute meins bestellt für 150€, 50ml wie war der preis bevor es eingestellt wurde?
The best Fragrance reviewer EVER 🦄❤ .
No doubt!
Yup, he's my only go-to now with what spare time I have.
No one else can break it down like Aaron. 🦄
This fragrance became much sought after once it was discontinued. Personally I love it and managed to pick up three 50mls before the price sky rocketed. Looking forward to your review of Roja Apex.
I feel like we are fragrance soulmates. I really love the same scents that you do. I’m curious if you have ever gotten your nose on Rosendo Mateu #5? If you have not I would love to hear your thoughts
This is truly remarkable. Rest In Peace to Rosendo. Number 5 has to be my favorite amber I’ve ever smelled.
This one is my favorite from this house. I sprayed it on my sleeve and kept smelling it. I became obsessed and had to go back and get it.
Love the new format with the vocabulary highlights , thanks Aaron .
So I'm not into summer fragrances too much, even in summer I like to wear my leather, spicy or smoky fragrances (but maybe the lighter ones) but THIS is the one I always keep for summer nights. Although I'm basically online into niche fragrances at this point (besides some great YSL). I think it's absolutely beautiful, in general I think Bulgari is better than some people seem to rate it.
The citrus in it has this really bitter tone, like it's only the oils from the zests, which I really like, it has like the packaging almost a copper color in its aroma, some spicyness, some woods, like sitting at a church at a red sundawn somewhere at a harsher coast in Italy.
Bvlgari has now discontinued their entire aqva line so ive heard, this one was discontinued quite a while ago and recently aqva atlantique and aqva marine have been confirmed as discontinued too, so the only one left is the one you reviewed last time bvlgari aqva which is surely going to be getting the chop as well if the rest are gone, its a shame i think the whole aqva line were really nice summer fragrances and the bottles were quite cool too in a circle etc, My favourite is aqva marine
Hi Aaron, l love your reviews.
Have you ever come across Roberto Cavalli uomo? I would love to see what your opinion of it is.
Love this I have five bottles of this it's my favourite summer fragrance ever!!!
I love how you said " I'm dislecsic" on aqua and afterwards you said aqua :D
If you love it, then release it, I LOVE IT!
My favorite summer fragrance. The bitter mandarine is the epitome of summer to me
Great review, as usual. I would love a review of spicebomb, (the OG, not extreme or infrared wich i know you already reviewed)
ATH you sir are the man. I’m 50 and moving to Oahu to get married. The weather there is year round 80’s. Which one of your scents would you recommend? I love your stuff, please tell me your opinion!!! Mostly will be work at night and to my wedding.
I still have ACVA from about 15 years ago in the blue/green bottle, nearly full. It must have completely different notes because it doesn’t smell all that citrusy just fresh. I got it for my husband and he never wears it. Gonna sneak into my collection!
another great review aaron! i went through maybe 4 bottles while in highschool, absolutely loved it and still have my last bottle from years ago. can’t bring myself to wear it anymore though, burned my nose out from it and 5 years later i still can’t bring myself to enjoy this fragrance anymore
If I heard correctly the whole Aqua line is being killed off by Bvlgari. As they focus on the Man line.
First off love your videos. Only have one question have you ever tried clone houses like Alexandria Fragrances?
It's my favorate flanker ,it has clean aquatic slightly soapy vibe, the drydown is more masculine
I believe the V is Greek for the letter U?
Thanks Aaron.
This was my absolute favorite summer fragrance I was heartbroken when they discontinued this and I don’t understand why
Hi Aaron, the "v" is meant to be a "u" so they're harkening back to Middle English spellings to make it sound classy--the same way some people spell "old" as "olde". As always, thank you so much for your review. And while I'm here, what is your best incense fragrance you are selling at the moment?
Do you keep the fragrances after you review them Aaron?
Would probably trade something for this as on a mission to get as many Cavallier scents as I can haha.
Another brilliant review
I really love all of the Aqvas....such a shame they choped the entire line. Thanks for the review Aaron!
Enjoyed the review! I appreciate the break down of the profile. It’s a great line and the ladies do love it. All in the line are being discontinued I hear. Sad!
Aqva Atlantique is imo the best from the line, have you smelled that? if not need to review that one!
I kind of have the same problem. It almost comes off as a cleaner on my skin, but I’m glad it’s not overbearing. I can’t overspray it or else I notice too much of the harshness and sharpness this fragrance has. Imo, this is a great aroma chemical style fragrance in moderate doses, but I have overwhelmed myself by spraying too much in the past. Great review on a discontinued fragrance that was hyped in the past by the fragrance community
I'd love to see your review on valentino uomo intese
Love your reviews. And your voice is like ASMR…
I have this one and marine. I wore marine today. I'm not a huge fan of Amara. It's so strong and smells kinda weird. I have been learning to like it a little more. I wear less sprays so it doesn't overwhelm me
I have that one Aaron! I like that one a lot!
Aqva & Aqva Amara are both favorites of mine, good performers and great compliment getters ! The former was my SOTD actually, very enjoyable during the summer... I'm happy I got a few backup bottles before its discontinuation.
Hey Aaron! Just a random question I wanted to ask an expert like you, but does a perfume smell different on everyone? Because of their skin and blood type?
You’re amazing. Thank you
my no1 summer fragrace for years so now if i spray it , my mind goes in to summer mode lol ,
To me it's better at the beach. I bought a 50ml around 2017 before it was discontinued for 35usd. Price has definitely risen. It really really shines in high heat and humid climates and I got more than 12+hrs on skin with more than 24+hrs on clothes. Definitely go easy on the sprays because it is a beastly fragrance. I will say everyone won't appreciate this fragrance because the avg Joe doesn't have a nose for frags
I break out Aqva Amara when it's wicked hot out. Over 90 degrees usually. It's like a dry citrus with lots of florals throughout to me. I picked up a 1.7 boxed for $21 on clearance back in 2017 or 2018. So glad I did.
Can you do a video going over where you spray your fragrances to get the most out of them?
This fragrance is not of my favorite summer fragrances ever. One of the only fragrances I’ve ever worn that get compliments from people pretty much every time I wear it. 👍
It's really disappointing when I company makes something halfway decent and then they discontinue it all of a sudden 🥴
Love your videos!
Reviews in hindsight do a disservice to the fragrance based on the impact it had at its release.Would be good to have FM hip him to the history and credentialed perfumers behind the fragrances.
Can you review gisada ambassador for men? Would be really interesting too hear your breakdown on hit
It Was my Number one complimented Cologne Of all time, Whenever I put it on I get at least one or two compliment. Perfection for the hot weather, South Florida In my case.
You need to try AQVA Atlantiqve that’s really nice you will love it .
i know I can look but have he released his summer fragrances list
I used to hear 4 major material from you. What do you mean by it?
Try Loewe Solo Atlas as a replacement for Aqva Amara - it's not the same, but it's bery concentrated for an EDP, and Loewe is highly under the radar while the fragrances smell expensive and natural.
I have 7 natural edt and I feel the same vibe with amara, different but on the same way.
Not even remotely close to AMARA
⚡
its a love/hate fragrance for me...i sometimes get rutten seagrass smell from it .
but i always get very nice comments about it
I regret the days when I could get my hands on this one for 50-52$ for a 100ml now it's like 150$.
THE STRENGTH OF THE OCEAN!
I just picked up a tester of one million Prive if you’d like another discontinued fragrance to review
Is this sweet orange, similar to YSL M7?
No. Flowers from orange blossom are not sweet smelling.
Aqva marine next please
Aaron, I'll be completely honest. I absolutely hate, hate Aqva Amara. It smells like a rotten orange in a hot summer trash can to me. Not for me lol
Lmfao, definitely a precise visual description if I've ever heard one. Never smelled this before, but hilarious nevertheless.
Oh well more bottles for me!!!!
Lol same
that's actually a perfect description of Terre D'Hermes to me, a rotten orange in the trash lol
Agree… it’s disgusting.
The strength of the ocean, they say.
They?
Video is bluring or my eyes? What's the matter?
AQVA Amara the strength of the ocean 😎
I own it and I don’t know if I like it or if I hate it lol.
This one I totally disagree on..I couldn't stand the extreme orangy fell I got from it..It was simply too much to me 😅
Do Rasasi Hawas!!
Hi Aaron
To me it smells very chemical in high heat. I wear it in spring when it shines and comes off natural and pleasant.
Best summer fragrance that ever came out
Aqua Amara means Bitter Water
Clone of this is Amorist Pendora.
It has a super bitter grapefruity note to my nose. I like all the other Aqvas, but I can't with this one. It's unwearable to me. No offence to the fans.
I had the exact same assessment when I tried it several years back; I remember liking half of it, but I couldn't tolerate the metallic nor "harsh" element. But I was intrigued just enough that I vowed to try it again sometime, since there's so little I like out there, and I found parts of it I liked. Next thing I know...of course...it's discontinued.
Try missoni wave
To me it smells like Issey Miyaki clone. I like it
I find that this smells like a citrus rind off my skin with a lovely twist of patchouli and frankincense. Most summer designers are safe and boring. Not this one! I like it when I'm feeling somewhat onerous.
For some reason this is my fall scent.
I own it, it is great for the summer. Bought it last winter, for the summer of course, was difficult to track down since it is discontinued. Powerful fresh with bitter-ish notes (pettitgrain), watery,clean, powerful. Your review is spot on. My current top summer frag is eau givreee by Hermes.
As someone who is new to the whole fragrance community, I wonder why do great fragrances that do well get discontinued? If its doing well why would the brand stop making it
@@lichh64 I would assume that like most things in life it comes down to money. Even though something is popular amongst fragrance enthusiasts, it might not sell to the casual/man in the street type of buyer, in the way that a Sauvage or a BDC would.
The only other thing I can think of is if there’s some sort of regulation change with ingredients, and rather than reformulate, they just discontinue. I’d still expect it to be money/sales/production fees related over anything else though!
It has a overdose of Calone. Smells like raw eggs. I avoid anything with that note
In my city unexpectedly 50 ml is $35
@@otabekimamov5632 what??? That's insane! Great price :)
Too bad Bvlgari discontinued it.
Discontinued and you can only find it extremely overpriced now
0:38 "Κάβλα"
Overhyped. I don't like it at all! Dark weird smell orange... This and ADG Profumo are horrible + some Tom Ford's fragrances.
4th =)
I don't like it's smells like a fish
I find this and the whole line very generic. Cheap shower gel fragrances.
I can’t lie this is the most disgusting fragrance I’ve ever smelled
