Bvlgari Aqua Marine

Mostly cool and wet, the note most people read as sea air or rain. Underneath that, bright and zesty, like fresh orange or lemon peel.

It opens on grapefruit, neroli and mandarin orange, moves through water notes, seaweed and rosemary, and settles on virginia cedar and amber.

• grapefruit: bitter-fresh citrus, more tart and less sweet than orange
• neroli: the bright, just-squeezed side of orange blossom: green, clean and faintly bitter

It lasts an average amount of time and sits close to the skin after the first hour.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
