Aqua pour Homme Marine Toniq
Bulgari (2011)

Synthetic disgust on the open, dreamy on the dry down and perfect on the price. 4 out of 5

Better than the first Aqua Marine No problems with longevity, not that I'm saying there was with the first version. All in all this one is a bit more refined and less synthetic, but despite that unimpressive and not quite memorable fragrance. Flanker of a flanker, what could one expect anyway.Pros: Less synthetic, lasts longCons: Not inventive

I'd been wearing Bvlgari Aqva since 2009, and I decided to try the Aqva Pour Homme Marine Toniq a few months after it came out. I'm glad I did.

When I first apply it, it kind of smells like Mandarin Oranges on my skin. A few minutes later, it develops into a watery/salty fragrance that is still balanced with the oranges.

I actually like this better than the regular Aqva because it's not as harsh and it's more likeable from more people. I won't have to go around worrying that it might offend people. I'm not sure of how good the longevity is, because after about 5 hours, I stop smelling it, but I think other people can still smell it. I also can't compare this one to the original Aqva Marine because I never really had a change to properly test Aqva Marine out. I've never owned that one:(

If you can, try it BEFORE you buy it, as this is not for everyone. This is not something I can wear every day, but it is something that I'm proud to have in my wardrobe:)
