Aqva Pour Homme Marine Toniq

I just wrote a review on one of my all time faves - Aqua - and despite my vast collection and attempts to find better in this category it’s just hard to beat. Thankfully reviews here are more upbeat for this version and having just read some I am so delighted that so many mail exactly what I’ve already said : 1) this is the best of the Aqua series In smell and performance 2) it is a sweeter less dark and dank version as it’s minus patchouli 3) it’s less fishy 4) it smells like some melon has been added None the less I put both on each arm today to remind myself of my ‘roots’, when this made up one of a regular roster of only six perfumes in rotation. Very refreshing - and still the same after all this time reformulation or not. Aqua Marine Toniq removes the dank damp cardboard and replaces it with what feels like a less dark sweet wood and sprinkle of cinnamon. Sadly this has been discontinued so if you like this type of scent grab it before it is impossible to get.

Aqva Pour Homme Marine Toniq BvlgarI A under rated scent under the Collections Aqva line. Discontinued. My pretty full bottle is a 2011/01 batch and the scent has developed very well. You'll get the salty sweet, slightly fishy, kinda spicy and very marine. It's refreshing to smell as it differs itself from the usual classics or musculine men's scents out there. It has its similarities to Aqva Marine which is actually more marine (fishy salty). The grapefruit and pear here actually blends rather well with the seaweed saltiness and sea notes and then the sandalwood making it a salty sweet aromatic sandalwood scent development. This is definitely a good wear at the pool or beach and outdoors, or just exactly like now on raining day outside. I'm not too sure about the schools and offices because it may seem that you may have just returned from a day out from a fishing trip or the sea/oceans. Still a very nice addictive smell that's different.

So, I'm late to the party with these Aqva scents (as I seem to be with so many others too). My little 50ml blind buy of Marine Toniq arrived today, and I decided to give myself a single spray to the arm. My initial impression was: "Woah! Interesting!!! Pears and grapefruit, and cucumber... very lush :) And something rather transient - something that disappears if I hunt for it, but that I catch the next second, when I have stopped 'looking'... I know! - it's fenugreek!" I check my spice cupboard, and sure enough, the scent from my bottle of ancient fenugreek seeds matches the hints of the note that I keep catching as the top notes project off into the afternoon air. As Marine Toniq dries down, things settle: the spicy fenugreek is no longer visible, and the pears and grapefruit merge with light airy woody notes to produce a delightful fresh aroma that I cannot stop smelling. Worth having in the collection for sure! Loving this.

I do not have the original or have i even smelled it. I do have the original Aqua. When I first tried it the toniq was overwhelming and the rest of the scent seemed ordinary. I love Bvlgari but figured this was not goon to work. My wife however thought I liked it and suprised me with a bottle. I have to say it has really grown on me. I think I like it better than the original Aqua. This is not a fragrance that stands out in a crowd or is even anything overly exciting, but I love it for two reasons. The toniq opening is refreshing without being a blast of citrus witch I hate and the dry down has less musk. Two spays of this last about ten hours at work and it does not offend any of my coworkers. It is hard to find a scent that will last that long and is not overpowering, plus I like it.

At first, I thought this was the closest thing to replacing my old Versace Metal Jeans, so I had to buy a bigger bottle though my smaller Bvlgari is still almost full. I think the bigger bottle I got has been reformulated as I've compared them and the bigger one doesn't seem to smell like the first bottle I got so it is no longer used. That second bottle I got smelled more like Aqva Pour Homme. Now, going back to VMJ comparison, I was wrong. Only the dry down has that hint of similarity with VMJ, close to skin scent, nothing more. Great for 3 seasons except summer, for me. Safe for office wear, fresh and clean scent. Still hunting for VMJ replacement though. (2 sprays) Longevity: 8/10 Silage: 8/10

This honestly doesn't smell of fish! Because of it's accurate depiction of marine smells, I think people are making a subconscious association that, thankfully doesn't actually manifest itself in the perfume :-) This is a great aquatic and, although distinctive, does have aspects in common with Kenzo Homme and Boucheron Jaipur Pour Homme Limited Edition. I'm delighted, because Jaipur Ltd Edtn is difficult to get now, and this will do the job in its individual way. This is beautifully composed, as Aqva is, and I will now have to buy the other 3 Aqvas by Bvlgari too!

This is a very pleasant surprise. My initial impression on this one is beautiful; what a fresh, fruitier version of Aqua! The salty aquatic notes are more subtle. I like this much more than Marine (too fishy) and original Aqua. I do like Atlantique and Amara a lot, but Marine Toniq is more appealing to me, and has good performance, too. There is no egg smell in this one. A shame this was discontinued, I'll pick up any more that I find because this is a beauty for summer. An unknown and underrated gem.

This review might be weird... I smelled this at a department store once (!) many many summers ago and I have romanticized this fragrance ever since. So much so that I’m willing to call this fragrance the best summer scent that I do not own. The entire scent from beginning to end is “shut and take my money” amazing. There is a saltiness to it that immediately transports you to the beach. I must find it and buy it!

Aqua Pour Homme Marine Toniq is the cologne I use when I go to the beach. My friends always tell me that I smell like the beach, before we get to the beach. I love the aquatic notes along with the seaweed. It lasts and last even after I go in the water. I get lots of compliments.

Wow, wow, wow!! I love Aqva Pour Homme Marine Toniq by Bvlgari. I really do not smell the "fishy" in this. It smells fresh and summery and I like that. It reminds me of the beaches here in Miami. One thing I do smell is tobacco though. It lasts a very long time on me.

The opening is just really freaking sharp citrus note. It gets a bit sour. Then the seaweed kicks in and it gets even more sour, and fishy. Not the kind of perfume that everyone would like or could pull it off. But you should give it a try. Kinf od interesting

The most underrated aqua fragrances. Just got the toniq PH and toniq marine. Both are excellent excellent fragrances. Love it...

Lasts seriously more than other Aqva's.I think its the best Bvlgari fragrance.For young people,refreshing smell.I LOVE it!

Man pheromone in bottle. i got alot of kardamon and green tea opening,,,,, optimum for summer nights.

Put in a condensed manner: Spicy Seaweed. Doing a wrist spritz comparison between this and Marine: Marine has a clear lemon/grapefruit open and Toniq is almost exclusively seaweed/terragon/rosemary/wasabi. Marine is saltier and overall subtler with some floral in it. Two hours later, Marine is a lightly citrus floral and Toniq is a slightly sweet aromatic sandalwood. Marine is best summarized as a citrus aquatic and Toniq is an aquatic aromatic (meaning more focused on herbal notes than water notes). The performance of this is very good in terms of sillage and duration, sillage is as loud as Atlantiqve and endures for around six hours but I catch whiffs of it up to twelve hours later, definitely in EDT territory than tonic territory. There's salt in there and the citrus is brief and subdued, but definitely in the refreshing grapefruit category and not the sweet orange range. Sandalwood emerges in a few minutes, taking backseat at first to an herbal bouquet of seaweed, terragon, rosemary and wasabi but later in the drydown, sandalwood is the star. I blind bought this based on reviews and don't regret. It's a refreshing scent, but you've got to be in the mood to smell spicy seaweed for this to work. I've also layered it with Free Time to get more citrus/ginger/woods in the fume cloud and it's a good pairing.

I recall when I was a child and my dad had a huge fish tank with plenty of fish and every once in a while he would let me feed them and their food had this interesting smell I used to love. Well, Marine Toniq sure takes me back! The opening is quite fishy which I like but it's very fleeting and soon after it becomes this seaweed and will remain like that for the rest of its long life. Forget the pear and the woods in the note breakdown, I don't get any of that, at least on my skin. It's all about the seaweed. Fun fact, I'm wearing it today and my gf just told me I smell like celery and now that she mentioned it I can't disagree with her.

I'm wearing this side by side to Aqua pour homme Marine and this is much sweeter. It could be due to the pear that's been used in the toniq, or it could be the aqua marine had more citrus in them which subdues the sweetness. Both have this overarching seaweed accord which can be divisive, but now that I grew older than when I first smelled them I appreciate it more. It's disappointing that Bulgari has decided discontinue the whole line. Unless compared to the modern fragrances I believe a unique and more mature scent that's easy to wear.

Similar to A-M, but the briny scent is toned down a bit- citrus seems to be turned up a bit higher, so it appears to be a different balancing of the same notes- overall, the effect makes it more ethereal/transparent than original A-M- and, for me, greater wearability- though I do like both for when I'm in a seascape mood.

It's not such a big hit. Deffinitely reminds Aqua Marine- nothing new in this fragrance .I preferred Aqua tonique version. More sofisticated and long lasting than this one. Instead to clone again & again the "Aqua" version's Bulgary could create a brand new and stunning perfume for men.

For the first half hour, it's hard to hold on to its bitterness. Was very disappointing. But... There comes seaweed and aquatic notes from deep and gives the freshness of seashore with average sillage. Not everyones cup of tea though...
