Herrera Aqua

This fragrance is everything you will need, unfortunately it's been discontinued. Aqua is more than what it appears to be with a fresh and citrus start and ending in rich velvety musk. It lasts long on me personally, and I can smell a spritz on my wrist up to 8 hours after I spray it. My late grandfather gave me this bottle, as my grandmother doesn't like noticeable fragrances. He always wore something fresh, and aquatic regardless of the time of year. Needless to say, if you want to smell professional, yet personal this is the fragrance for you. It has been discontinued, but fragrance revival has the "same" fragrance for sale for $90. I'm not partnered with them and haven't actually bought this product as I still have my original bottle. When I run out, I'll be trying their serum. I've posted the link below: https://fragrancerevival.com/product/herrera-aqua-by-carolina-herrera-type/

Found this at an estate sale new in box in 2022. This has been discontinued. The only place I’ve been able to find it is on eBay and people are asking wayyy too much for this. Anyway, I bought it for $20. I absolutely love this during ththe summertime. I have been wearing it to work for the last week and I’ve gotten a couple of compliments... this stuff works very well with my body chemistry. It’s a blue scent, a little dated maybe, but I don’t have anything else in my collection that smells quite like this. Is acquatic, kind of citrusy, and clean. The opening is a little sharp, but after about 5 minutes, it settles down into a smooth clean blue scent. The longevity is pretty good. I work outside in the south and I can still pick it up on myself after 4-5 hours... it actually smells better to me after I’ve been sweating. So, I love this! I wish it wasn’t discontinued.

Has anyone found a similar fragrance to Herrera Aqua because I'm just in love with it . Managed to luckily grab an 85% 50ml bottle for $50 and this fragrance is simply gorgeous but I'm using it very very rarely because I'm aware that I most likely will not be able to find another bottle of this magnificent piece of beauty. Also the batch code on my bottle says that it's from 2016, considering the fact that the Carolina Herrera Aqua had been discontinued around 2012-2013 means that my bottle is from 2006 and this thing has amazing longevity 8+ hours and decent projection.

Fresh, warm spicy and unique. Herrera Aqua is quite different comparing with the others aquatic perfumes out there(at least for me)it's more than the aquatic and the citrus things, it's smells unique especially when it's dry down on your skin, it's makes me feel confy and relaxing. Herrera Aqua is one of the fav. perfume in my top list, sometimes i spray it on my neck before i get to bed, maybe sounds weird for you guys, but yea,it's extremely working well to helps me get into sleep very well (hehehe). shame on them to discontinued this amazing pieces in my country.

I fell in love with the brand's perfume line bec of this. This has a subtle elegance that is timeless. Mass pleaser but not common. I have a bottle and I am sparlesly using it bec. this has already been disontinued. I have DKNY men and I don't think they smell the same.

The saddest day was finding out that this perfume was discontinued :( :( OMG it was a favourite that I used to get for my boyfriend.... and I literally cannot find any dupe for this, or anything that comes close to this fragrance.

One of my Dad's (age 63) all time fave fragrances, can anyone help me find it? It's his birthday in Febuary and i'd love to surprise him with a bottle! I got my love of fragrance from my dad :) This smells amazing on him!

it is nice, unique and last longer, it may not differ in its smell over time but you will like smelling it, it has a masculine scent and after many hours it put you in some sort of relaxing mood,

I love it! Subtle and fresh, I love that it also smells like vanilla and bubblegum, but is fresh and calm! Perfect!!

The aqua is only in the name, aromatic green with a floral twist to better be used in the winter.

Nice Aquatic fragrance from Carolina Herrera... Yes, I get it - it is mid-January and I am wearing a (very) Spring/Summer fragrance.. Wishful thinking, I guess..!! Out of the bottle, Carolina Herrera's Aqua fragrance is a blend of aromatic, musk, and woodsy notes. It is surprisingly pleasant and easy on the nose. If you like aquatics, you will like/love this edition. Aqua provides modest to average longevity, lasting about 4-6 hours on me and somewhat longer on clothing. The projection is modest (maybe less than modest), thrusting out, at most, to arms length for about 2-4 hours and settling to skin level thereafter. As imagined, Aqua is best suited for Spring/Summer and day wear. (It just happened to be in the rotation today..). I believe that most aquatic fragrances are geared more for casual wear - Herrera's edition is no different. Additionally, while I love aquatics, they may be more for a younger population. I don't see too many 40+ males wearing Aqua. While I like the bottle and the "blue" tint of the fragrance, I will add that I believe the spray nozzle is cheaply made. Perhaps a "Creed" like nozzle with a chrome and bamboo cap would have been more appealing/appropriate. The price/value of Aqua is average, maybe a bit below average, at around $40 USD for a small bottle. My final tally for Carolina Herrera's Aqua is 3.9 stars out of 5 stars. I like the fragrance a lot. It does not project nor last long enough to be evaluated as a top performer. If you like the aquatics, I recommend adding to your collection. I have it, will use it freely, and wear it proudly - but I probably will not repurchase when this bottle is finished. Enjoy your day and make it count... Invest your time rather than wasting your time...

Quite Strong on the tonka front, very balmy in the background, also quite aquatic and sharp with the bergamot and mandarin acids. Fig not noticeable unless searched for. I'm not a critic but I can always tell what I wish for in a fragrance as opposes to what actually happened ; I'd wish for more prominence from the fig and the more fruity quality from te actual flesh of the mandarin for less citrus effect. Freshness isn't always reliant upon citrus, though is saying that, CH Aqua isn't a typical aquatic due to the dominant Tonka/Amber base, which I think prevents the scent from being too sharp and generic. As mentioned earlier, it's main goal is to smell good when wearin it and it's done quite well, not a masterpiece but a good value casual smell for spring

I just like to smell good...period. This fragrance gets the job done and its a pleasure to wear. Sometimes I don't want to be challenged by a fragrance; I just want to spray it on and enjoy it effortlessly. Herrera Aqua does this better than most! The mandarin, fig, and bergamot add a fruity, citrus aroma to the beginning, which is later joined by the fresh lavender and other herbal notes. Finally, the base gets a little powdery and sweet due to the tonka bean, but this is infused with masculinity by the vetiver and musk. All-in-all, this is a great day fragrance for someone who wants to smell good without having to over-think it.

This is a very nice scent. My brother says he smelled a bit of the bvlgari aqva in it.LOL To me, it is sugary sweet and kinda smells like 212 Men. Overall it's a very nice scent for day to day wearing to the office. The Longevity is very good 8hrs+ and it stays close to my skin after 8hrs.

Nice fragrance but it can't be "the best". Anyway I had it twice because it's very casual and only a t-shirt suits as perfect as formal clothes to it. Personally I prefer 212 by CH or Chic by CH than this one, think those fragrances have more memorable and richer composition.

A nice, mild and inoffensive safe spring/fall scent. The sweetness is not overbearing and the fig note adds some brightness. Performance is average. Prices have went up since it has been discontinued but it's not at M7 prices yet.

very long lasting, but its sweetness impedes the freshness from blossoming. i love the aftershave though.

Just to let everybody know, it's been reformulated. I bought this back in 2009...it lasted about 8 or 9 hours on my skin and always receive compliments. The dry town was a little more sweeter than it is now. Now the new reformulation has 3-4 hours of longevity with a more spicy in the dry down. It still smells pretty much the same except in the dry town it's less sweet, more spicy and Longevity isn't as great.

So many aquatic sense out there, this is so far the most ordinary and boring ones! The sense is very common, very ordinary, so ordinary and it remind me of cool water, dry down is very powerish and boring. The bottle design is also so (square only?)boring. Aquatic lover, you may skip this.

I agree, it's not very aquatic. I got a lot of fresh sparkling citruses and the beginning. But the middle and the drydown are totally unimpressive, and the scent doesn't last long. Little perfume for spring and summer.
