Was wonderful to bump into Aaron in Selfriges. He was in a chair getting pampered and I wandered over and spoke to him. He could have said “go away I’m busy” but he didn’t. He stopped what he was doing and took the time to speak to me and others, even taking a photograph with me. A very nice and polite chap in real life. Take care Aaron.
That's dope
So jealous! I would love to meet him. I live about an hour from his shop and every now and then a trip to Manchester for whatever reason. I plan to pop in next time I am there and my jaw would drop if he just happened to be there. Also, love how he hates Phantom so much that it's not worth remembering the name! That robot one! Lol.
@@dantrafford8225 fast forward to now and over less than two months I have acquired around 16 of his fragrances. Whatever he’s doing I hope he keeps doing it.
I'm quite amaze to see this review, honestly I thought you were going to destroy this fragrance because of its synthetic feeling, But Im glad to see that you actually loved it. this is one of my favorite fragrances.
I was sure he was going to trash it. I'm really surprised.
This stuff is incredible in the summer!!! One of my definite go-tos, as well as Dior homme cologne
9.5/10 for something costing under £45 for 100ml…I really want to try this now.
Thank you.
Same here, I was hesitant, until now. Let's go!!
If you like quality designer aquatics, this is as safe a blind buy as you can get. I've tried the entire line, and they all do their job very well. Happy hunting
how long would it last? and how many sprays?
@@HBLW1975 Ordered yesterday and just received it, love it but i think we need to shower with it at least 8 sprays to project and long, , typically for summer heat 🔥👍
Bvlgari Aqva is composed by Jacques Cavalier and is easily one of the best designer aquatics you can get. I think it is a pretty safe blind buy as well.
Aaron's reviews are a key to my mental health. It's my peace space. Love how vivid and detailed.
❤️🦄❤️🦄
This is why I love watching your reviews. I didn't think you would like this fragrance as much as you did. I was surprised and love the fact that you really enjoy fragrance so much and could love something that you didn't even want to pronounce. Thanks for being so amazing.
I was pretty shocked by this review. The word "elegant" is not something I would associate with this fragrance. To me it's macho and in your face. Nothing wrong with that if that's what you like, though I don't.
Love your reviews my man. Not a typical youtuber who describes the notes and give their thoughts. Your reviews are honest yet very educational! I learn alot from you!
Would love to see you keep reviewing more “summer-y” fragrances Aaron! I love dark and oriental fragrances as much as you do but unfortunately they’re too heavy for me in the hotter months, especially where I live!
This and the Marine version are BOTH bangers, especially for the price. You also won’t smell like everyone else out here. Salute ATH 👊🏾
Amara was the best of the line, but they discontinued it.
True
Aaron, I agree with what you are saying about Aqva Pour Homme by Bvlgari. I rate it high as well. Take care and keep doing your excellent fragrance reviews.
My favorite reviewer, by far ! Stay safe, thanks for the great review !
I really need to try this one as well as the marine and the Atlantic. Adding it to my wishlist. Great review as usual. Keep it up.
Wow! Gonna definitely try this for the summertime. Great review 👏
HI Aaron, luv yr work🤚 The moment I saw the thumbnail I was dead on that u going to luv it😊
It's one of the best scent profile one can come across out of millions available 👍🏾
"our bottle of THIS" 😂
I'm still laughing!
I've been wearing THAT (😂) for ten years, in summer, i absolutely agree with you: in the heat this is fresh air also for the people around me (and the heat here in Italy is kind of Hell-Heat) !
But it doesn't project for long, so i'm literally forced to get a shower with it before i go out, in the sunny mornings.
Lots of moving hands, see you in the next video Aaron! 💪
This is my summer signature scent. I love that you love it. I was thinking for your taste this’ll be to generic but I know you respect it for what it can be bought for. So respect to you 👍
LOVE your reviews 💜💜💜
When you shop on Notino for the 1st time and the pricing system confuses you 🤣🤣
The amount of information and understanding I get while watching your reviews👍🏿
Thank you! 🦄
I love when a hidden gem is find. Bought this blind and I cant be happier.
Thanks Aaron for the tip.
Good review as always.
Bvlgari does very sophisticated scents for the price! The Aqva line is superb in terms of quality, price and performance. Unlike Bvlgari Man which unfortunately they’ve been reformulated to death , specially Man in Black .
have you tried wood neroli? i was thinking of doing a blind buy
@@thesnakbar it’s a nice scent but it’s not worth owning a place in Bvlgari line . Very floral l, I remember it’s close to Neroli Portofino but way less expensive . Very floral and soothing, just not my type it smells like a baby cologne 😆 just a little more complex than TF Neroli that I already mentioned.
@@sergiovazquez8599 I see. Thank you. And I agree with man black I mightve bought a bottle too late in time I guess. The smell is great but the performance on my skin is atrocious.
I just want Bvlgari blvck in eau de Parfum 😭
I still think their original Pour Homme is one of the classiest fragrances I've ever worn.
I have this along with Aqva Amara and love both. Absolutely brilliant for the summer and perfect holiday scents.
Aqva and its flankers are generally very good for the mid tier designer market. They're very aware of what their best use case is: hot, sunny, tropical weather. All of them, besides Atlantique as the more standard blue fragrance of the bunch, work wonders for a day at the beach. Spot on with this review, Aaron
This vs nautica voyage or midnight?
Sup fellow Kevin. I think it’s funny how different everyone takes in different scents. For me the atlantique is this most unique. Aqua marine is the most basic summer scent for me.
Atlaniqve is best Aqva fragrance
Aaron, your French is getting better! Keep it up!
Great fragrance. I'd love to see you do the Amara and Marine flankers which I personally think are superior. Cheers Aaron!
I love Bvlgari scents, this one lasts a long time on me in summer, good review as always.
Vindication!
I love Bvlgari Aqua PH and the entire rest of the line.
Great review..
I love this and amazed that you like it, it’s got seaweed note
Hi Aaron! My husband is now excited to try this! Thank you! By the way, I wore Animalix to work and it was perfect! I smelled amazing & my colleagues who are sensitive to smells even liked it; then, as soon as I got in my car & was free to spray away, I wore Haze Blue the rest of the day over Animalix! So Amazing! Haze Blue gave me the energy I needed for the rest of the (much more fun) day!
I actually love Animalix 21 Version! I ware it on my day off!!!
Wow!! I didn't expect you to like this that much lol. Great review. 👍🏾
The “Marine” flanker was my signature scent in highschool and college, it was a true compliment magnet!
what is the weathere where you live ? ilive in superhot climate and this doesnt project at all !
@@doaflamingo3713 I wore it in both really hot and fair weather. It projected great for a blue scent :D
Great review and one i totally agree with bvlgari aqua marine is my favourite in the line I've tried this one, marine, and atlantique and all are good quality freshies
I haven't dipped into the fragrance scene for a while but this popped up on my recommendations and thought I'd watch as I was keen to see what you thought about a blue fragrance which I own. Echo many other thoughts in that I'm surprised you liked it as much as you did. I might wear this to the gym now even though it is raining and dull. Need a spritzy scent.
I’ve always thought this was an awesome fragrance but never heard any nose about it , nice to hear my own opinion coming from such a knowledgeable perfumer!!!
One of my summer time favorites, underrated in my opinion
I've been following you on UA-cam and Insta for years.... You are a special person with style!!! Best regards Alois 😎🤘
Thats very kind thank you
Not surprised, Bvlgari makes very high quality fragrances. Thanks Aaron!
Just ditched an order of Diptyque Oud Palao to go for your Onyx Aaron. I have high hopes! Keep doing what you're doing!
Thats so great to hear! Thank you for supporting my work
Wow I'm blown away by your review,I've owned this fragrance for about 5 years and have barely touched it,other colognes seem to get my attention.You've inspired me to revisit this scent once the weather warms.Please suggest one of your safer colognes,very curious on your take of fragrance
Ecellent Aaron. God bless brother.
My friend bought this yesterday, and I’m trying it tomorrow, quite excited now.😁
As always great video! When we will have vetiver fragrance from you Aaron? :D And I following how you'll make delivery process to EU
April 22!!!!!!
I started collecting about 2 months back after watching jeremy fragrance in the recomended list on you tube, i was charmed by his clap and twirl lol,but then off i went searching other reviewers and now have a 40 bottle collection,sometimes i sigh at why lol. But when you speak i listen and i just enjoy your take on each fragrance you test. So when you like something i tend to research it more as you seem honest where as i'm not so sure on other reviewers. You have nowt to gain but followers and that i like,so keep on doing what you doing,my fav's are dior homme intense,valentino uomo intense,prada luna rossa black,bleu de chanel parfum and spicebomb extreme,we all have our own tastes eh
Aaron
Jeremy has no clue about perfume.
@@cigarocean Did i say he did? ;-) was charmed by his clap and twirl lol,but then off i went searching other reviewers, It dont matter how we got here,what matters is we are here ;-)
Jeremy started me on my journey as well. It's the strangest interest. I spend a couple hours a day listening to reviews and ordering samples. It's so wierd. It's not a skill or really adds much value to my life but I'm obsessed. Prob not healthy. My plan is getting a handful of scents then peace out for a while. Easier said then done I'm sure
@@phillfamous i said same lol now have 48 in collection. Oh its crazy crazy crazy
@@davidhirst1007 48 samples😮?
Great scent for the summer, love Aqva Marine and Amara as well.
Wow, I'm surprised that you liked this one! It is one of my staples--the other flanker is fantastic too, with a nice sea salt. The bottle is a lovely kind of light green. It's called Bvlgari Aqua Marine.
Awesome video
Wohoo love this.
This is great but Aqva Marine is even better Imo, looking forward to what creations you bring out this year...
agreed. i prefer this over aqua di gio.
Great review Aaron!!! Im doing great by the way! Engaged with my higher self
Beautiful
Hi aaron avoid this brand since i started collecting but after your video i ordered the aqua marine version. I am really impressed with that but thing that got me with that is it gives off a water bubble around you lol really like it and for its price i put on my son in morning for school could still smell it pretty good when he came back put his jumper on and it was still there about 20% 30% on his jumper next dayThanks
I received my 50ml of the new Maverick today and it's unreal. Opens very similar to Pegasus by Parfums De Marly to me with a sort of almondy, sweet and rich scent. Dries down so well too, really impressed. Also received 16x 2ml samples, couldn't believe it. I ordered Luna and Patchouli Noir 10 mls last time, but really impressed with the service let alone the fragrances.
Thank you! My buisness doesnt work without my staff!!
His reviews are like coloring a vivid image of a scent. Here we can see the notes not just smell it. Insane.
I have not smelled this one, but I have the AQVA Marine flanker. Now I love that scent, because its nice and smooth with the nice amount salt and light sweetness. I also like the seaweed note too , And again its the right amount and does not give off that boiled hot dog water vibe that some of its contemporaries have.. Not obnoxious like a lot of aquatics on the market.
I recently purchased this, AQVA Pour Homme is the best Aquatic in the fragrance world, it doesn't smell synthetic to my nose, this is generally a very safe and very liked fragrance in the community, one interesting fact about this is some people experience a sulfur like smell or rotten eggs on the dry down, I didn't get that but it seems on certain people their body chemistry is causing this anomaly.
I do experience the rotten egg smell even if I spray it on a paper strip or on clothes so is not the skin chemistry, but hey I bought it for $20 in TJ Maxx for the 100mill can't complain.
I actually love this line. My favorite is Atlantiqve, which is an ambroxan aquatic take of the original.
Atlantiqve is my go to for summer. The hotter it gets, the better it gets.
My favorite
I bought it today, it's perfect for fresh summer scent, I love it.
Finally placed my first order, ordered Boss Bastard and got a free bottle Maverick EDP on Maxaroma. Can't wait to try it.
Very Exciting!
Top 10 winter and summer fragrance please. I'm curious to know. Keep uploading good content 👌
Coming soon!
Wore this a lot years ago, recently picked it up again.
Please review the Atlantiqve one too! I think it's not known enough
Nice review not the greatest scent.. but a summertime necessity. Aaron please review. PRADA Amber pour homme. Would like to know your thoughts on it.
This is a great summer scent quality and longevity are amazing for the value
Great summer cheapie. I get a little bit of a Tom Ford Oud Minerale vibe from it too. Fantastic for the price and I've seen it go even lower on discounters. I often use this on holiday and keep it just in the bottom of my backpack to have a spritz while out and about.
Another cheap summer banger I love is issey miyake Bleue D'issey. Insanely underpriced
This fragrance in the high heat is amazing. Might need to get a back up bottle 😅
Great review as always! Glad you liked this one! I also have Aqva Atlantique and Aqva Amara. Amara is my fave in the line. Really fantastic stuff! 👍
Really? Atlaniqve is my favorite. Love it. Shame it discontinued.
I used to love amara version. That was my signature on first holidays with girlfriend, great memories with the scent.
try missoni wave/pour homme if you can:) both are similiar to chanel fragrances but worth try for 30€ imo
You should do a review on Bvlgari Aqva Amara! You would be very surprised . Love it
Aaron I'd love for you to try Freedom by Antonio Banderas. It's a cheapy but has an endearing quality to it. Lots of moving hands and love!!! 🥰 Alvin
Interesting take by you Aaron.. i never really liked this way back in the day, and today i revisited it again, and not sure about it today either.
Not sure if its the woody notes or something, but it does give off some gasoline ish smell. Unless i just have don't understand the fragrance, but does have a strange smell
Now I wanna try this
Hi Aaron. I'm doing great as well. I was wondering if you would contemplate reviewing an older, classic men's fragrance such as Dior's Eau Sauvage Parfum, JHL by Aramis, or Channel's Antaeus? There are some powerful, complex and dirty scents from the past that I'm sure you would enjoy 😉. Cheers.
Looks like ill have to buy it
Yeah I agree with the review, the aqva line is a decent line all through I think.
This is my go to product.
Bvlgari and mugler are some of the fragrance houses that first got me in to fragrance I had recently purchased this fragrance and took it with me on a vacation to the Atlantic Ocean and I brought it to the beach with me one day to take some pictures of it on the ocean rocks and I sprayed it and I immediately knew where the inspiration had come from it truly does smell like the seaside just not the Rose colored glasses version
There are quite a bit remarkable fragrances from Bvlgari I've been using since late 90's - Bvlgari - Black, Bvlgari Au the Blanc - and Bvlgari Avqa. These three fragrances are very hard to come by these days though.
The fragrance deserves respect and love. On to my final thoughts: I adore your work and your channel
I find it a rather natural smelling beachy aquatic of very good quality and the performance is above average for such a fragrance.
Wow. Make a notice for myself for this fragrance.
Hi Aaron, love your videos! Quick question and I am definitely not ripping on you at all when I ask...it's more of a curiosity! Why do you say Vertiver instead of Vetiver? Is it English slang?
I wouldnt rely on me! Im dyslexic and say things as I hear them
@@AaronTerenceHughes Ah okay! Like I said I wasn't trying to rip on you. Love the videos, keep them coming.
Do you mind reviewing Amyris Homme by MFK? Curious as to what your thoughts are.
Not bad for aquatic-marine.
Still my all time favourite in this category is KENZO pour homme with it's aromatic and woody vibe.
Then L'Eau Super Majeure d'Issey. Just salty smoke with leather gets really nice job. This one however doesn't give you this type of happy bright beach day and nice light blue water vibes. This is more of a deep, dark ocean. It really goes good in grey, rainy and wet day.
Finally I got Korres Water Cedar Lime.
For me this is just my Greece holiday in a bottle along with Pure Greek Olive Blossom from Korres also. The last one have really strong feminine vibe but it's just smell of Greece for me.
I just purchased this fragrance & it was great find💯💯💯
Smelling this fragrance would take me back 19 years to my college days. I love this scent, but it definitely has an early 2000s composition :-)
That's why i like it, it's a classic
You should also review its flankers, Aqva Marine, Atlantique and Amara.
hey Aaron you must check out , The One Mysterious Night , or The One Royal Night you. would love them so much
My wife just bought this for me. I my give her an expert review. Thanks to you
Hope you will review more fragrances avout this line, aqua Atlantic, aqua amara,...
I'd love to see what your think to the aqva marine
Have you ever sampled oud monarch from bortnikoff? If so I'd love your thoughts on it
Banger!
I’ve never tried this one Aaron but it does sound good especially for where I live
Hi Josh!
Hi 👋🏻 Aaron how’s your day
This one is very nostalgic for me😊I bought this 3 times for my boyfriends many years ago😂😂😂it smells great in summer
The only problem I've experienced sampling the Bulgari Aqua (marine and atlantique) line is that seaweedy, borderline fishy smell. I might have try this one after your review
Could you try the Aqua Amara version of this? I'm very curious what you would think
It wont be 40 quid for much longer lol
I have Aqva Atlantique which is similar. Amazing for the price.
Yeah I bought that year's ago. I wanted to love it but I just felt that it was okay. Maybe it just didn't suit me. I think I found that to be the case with all of Bvlgaris range, I wanted to at least for in love with something out of there range but never could seem too. They seem to have there own distinctive scent like Salvatore Ferragamo does. Different olfactory genre's of course but a signature that's common threw out there range. Must be a certain supplier of where there buying there ingredients from perhaps. I do love Salvatore Ferragamo though very classy and very stylish fragrance all of them are. You should do a review on one them I'd be interested to know your thoughts cheers.
The way you explain how you'd improve on this I think you should try Aqva Atlantiqve (not to mention the discontinued Aqva Amara). However, the Atlantiqve one smells like boiled eggs to some 🤷
