Reviews of Bulgari Aqua pour Homme Marine (2008)
by Bulgari

A blast of grapefruit/bitter orange taht dries down into a sweet musk base. Nothing similar to the aromatic sweetness of Cool Water, it's more like Be Delicious Men minus the coffee and mixed in with Creed's Neroli Sauvage. Very light and very fresh. But as others have said, somewhat generic. A safe gift for those who you'd like to give a cologne to and aren't fragrance snobs.

I know this smells generic, and it is not anything "special" as most people seem to agree. This fragrance however is a wonderful warm weather fragrance and it lasts awhile. It still has the notes of ocean that the original had, but it also seems to add something that makes it lighter. This is a great middle of the day fragrance, or a great weekend warm weather fragrance. It does not seem to fit dress up though.

Better than the original imho - like the grapefruit note...wait for the drydown.

Ouch, I'm not sure I like this one. It smells very, very generic. It smells like Cool Water no. 109240 Summer Flash Freeze You edition. Jacques Cavallier probably did this scent in his lunch break. I feel no relation whatsoever with the original Bulgari Aqua, which you may like or not, but at least it was very original with its salty, seaweed feeling.

There's supposed to be some poseidonia in Aqua Marine as well, but I can't find it. It's also not briney, like the original Aqua. All I smell is a lot of calone. It's sweet, floral and a little woody in the drydown. A very generic aquatic.

Sillage and longetivity are incredible though. I sprayed some on my gym clothing and 3 workouts later I still smell it. Time for washing, I suppose.

i dont understand this fragance,... why change the original version to this cheap aqua fake ?

This one smell good but weak longetivity

This smells more than a little similar to Davidoff's Cool Water. If you're a fan of the original Bvlgari Aqua (which I am), avoid this one.
