Acqua

Honestly, for € 7 that I spent on it, this puts majority of designer freshies to utter shame. Granted the perfume is nothing extraordinary and the quality is not super refined but its way tooo good for the price and I would happily pay x5 the price for this. Opens up very fresh floral and the I do detect the rose in the start which I am not entirely a fan of, but the rose note does subdue subsequently and the lavender and pine notes shine all the while surrounded by that super refreshing aquatic character, makes me remember and miss French Riviera, very nostalgic! Performance is where this perfume shines even more! I was pleasantly surpised by how well this performs for the price. Lasts 5-7 hours on skin and I can easily detect this on my clothes the next day with moderate projection for a couple hours or so, which is freaking amazing for a cheap freshie such as this! Presentation is decent and I love the simple but charismatic bottle and the atomizer is surprisingly decent too. All in all this is my best blind buy this year so far, probably becuase I was not expecting it to be this good and I dare say this is a better freshie than Missoni Wave (atleast to my liking) which suffers from hype. Grab this NOW people!

After having worn this a lot for the past two weeks I can say that this is a real gem, encased in a perfect sapphire blue bottle. Both the scent and performance are well beyond my expectations for the low price I paid. It's a refreshingly natural scent that really conjures up memories for me of living by the Mediterranean in France. The pine element reminds me of driving south and the strong scent once entering the Provencal hinterland around Aix or Salon. However in 'Acqua' this evergreen note blends perfectly with the floral elements here and a touch of marine freshness so it doesn't become too overpowering. Smelling this now I feel like driving south, pulling up next to one of my former favourite beaches, donning my swimming shorts and diving into 'le Grand Bleu'! A perfect option to have if you're tired of all the usual citrus or green spring/summer fragrances or simply don't want to fork out for a more expensive designer or niche 'freshie'. JeP Acqua has depth to it reflecting the beautiful blue of the remarkably classy yet simple octagonal bottle. Scent:9/10 Longevity:6+ hours Value for money 10/10 (I paid around 13 euros for 100ml-bargain!) Style: Aromatic, floral, pine/evergreen, aquatic.

Alright, review number 2! Got this one together with the Neroli Intense which I left another review for. As for Acqua: man this thing is fresh, clean, and watery. I never smelt Kenzo Pour Homme so can't compare it to that, but it's a lovely clean smell that's amazing for spring and summer days. Longevity and projection is OK, we're talking about a couple of hours on skin and about half a day on clothes. Very non-offensive and certainly feels more masculine than Neroli Intense, but would describe it as unisex that's leaning masculine. Also lend it to a female coworker (I take the bottle with me to work if I wear this) that liked the smell but also described it as masculine-leaning. I tend to use 10-15 sprays in the morning (7am) and re-apply 5-10 sprays around lunchtime (1pm), which will give me constant hits of the smell until I get home at like 6pm. Is that a lot of sprays? Maybe. Would it be better if you could get away with single application? Yes. But for $8 for 100ml, who cares. Really enjoy this one, may order it again when I run out! Just a lovely allround cheap freshie, 8/10 for me!

Wow! Just wow. This fragrance leaves me speechless. I was looking for some fresh non-citrus summer fragrance and came across Acqua in the forums. When at it, I ordered two more fragrances from JeP line, for the price of one designer cheapie, I actually got three regular 100ml bottles. You can imagine I was a bit suspicious at first. But when I sprayed this I could not believe my nose. What you get is superunique niche-quality and natural smelling scent. I never smelled Kenzo, so cannot compare, but the fact that it does not ressemble any other frangrance is sufficient proof that you will be getting something special. Aquatic aromatic floral, very modern smelling to my nose. Both projection and longevity are above average. I'm quite excited and can already tell you what will be my signature scent this summer;-) 5/5 with price value ratio out of this world

YES on all fronts: Yes you can offer a high quality, yet inexpensive fragrance to the market! Yes, it performs! Yes, it has great packaging (box, bottle, sprayer). A very delicate take on a non sweet, non citrus summer scent. It goes along the lines of the 2006 Kenzo Homme Fresh release but where that goes soapy this one goes floral with a very lovely rose making it playful and less stiff then that Kenzo. Modern pine, natural acqua accords, sooting lavender and the above mentioned rose are the main players to me nose with a hint of moss at the drydown. Absolutely stunning! Bravo!
