Aqua pour Homme Toniq
Bulgari (2011)

Another salty, fresh aquatic in the Aqua line. Toniq shares the original DNA but starts to deviate to the same warm and airy feeling that you get from Amara, but not as strong or abrasive. So if you like Amara but find it too "in-your-face" then maybe Toniq could be a good alternative.

Performance is decent for the first couple hours and then settles way down. Good projection but is much lower than Amara. Longevity is also not near as good as Amara but Toniq is decent as a skin scent.

I used to have the original "Aqva Pour Homme" and really liked it. this one is another good fresh salty aquatic fragrance with semi sweet woody base.

The opening is a sharp salty, deep green and aquatic smell along with some juicy fruits in the background.
Very pleasing and refreshing smell that works great in high heat.

As time passes that salty aquatic smell settles down but I can still smell it easily while scent gets slightly sweet in ambery way and also vetiver note joins in the base of the fragrance that give the scent a sharp woody and kind of smoky and peppery aura which is really great and I really like this part.

Projection is above average and longevity is around 7-8 hours on my skin. a good flanker for something great!

Lovely, just like the original Nothing in particular to say about it that wasn't already been said about the original, so I'll keep it short. It's exactly the same as the original Bvlgari Aqua. Fresh, sharp, dignifying, formal and casual at the same time with good longevity and projection. Flaw, as stated already is that there's hardly any difference between this flanker and the original, thus it's also sort of disappointing. All in all it is a satisfying, summer fragrance in Bvlgari style, so you can't go much wrong with it. Pros: Quality, scent, longevity, sillageCons: no originality, pure copy

It's actually a very nice and citrus fresh interpretation of the original. The base notes are almost identical to the original but the top notes are where the major difference is to be found. I can clearly detect a frosty lemon and mint note that lasts about 20 - 30 minutes. After that it pretty much smells identical to the original with maybe just a slightly softer drydown.

If you like the original but have run out, why not give this one a go? If you already have Aqva, I'd wait until your bottles nearly empty before parting with your hard earned dollars for this.

Sillage: 3.5/5 (about the same as the original)
Longevity: 3.5/5 (about 6 - 7 hours)
Value for $: 4/5 (this can be found relatively cheaply on-line)
