  • 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.

    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.

    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.

  • @renegadebrad7448
    @renegadebrad7448 2 роки тому +2

    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, 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?

    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

    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

  • @AdamB12

    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.

    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.

      @@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!
