Bulgari Aqua Divina
Bulgari (2015)

Growing up and spending a lot of time at the ocean during summers and winters you get a good handle of what the beach emanates as its fragrance.

This is a misty evening at sundown and the salty spray surrounds you. Its light, with distinctive presence like the sea air. I was delighted and transported back to the shores of my childhood, in a modern chic way with nostalgia. It works on me. Surprised. Its a sentimental charmer for me...and I agree..a Mermaid would smell like this...

A nice opening blast with bergamot with a spicy touch is followed by a drydown with magnolia dominating, with a fruity undertone discernible. A honey impression is added later in, and it ends in a generic wood mode.

Definitely not bad, but somewhat dull and colourless on my skin. I get moderate sillage, acceptable projection and four hours of longevity on my skin. 2/5.
