Aqua Sextius

I love this scent, I'll be honest. Nowadays, I am approaching the "bottom line", that is to say, I am about to see the emptiness in my flask. I've only been intending writing a review on this masterpiece. This fragrance is so complex and multi-faceted. It sometimes happens that I can smell a few single notes: the pine tree needles, the musk, the cedar and the tea. Notwithstanding my inept investigations, each and every day, when I wear the scent, I am in the "kingdom not of this world". Aix-en-Provence? Alas, I have never been to The City of 100 Fountains. I wish I had been there. If Aqua Sextius truly renders "le entourage" of the resort, it have to be one of the most beautiful and most wonderful places on Earth. I believe that Julien and Madalina did bear witness to the truth. BTW, they are very amiable, super kind, cheerful and down-to-earth persons. Their main virtue is that they are discovering the beauty of the world - in the form of marvellous odours - and they do enjoy sharing the findings with us, perfume enthusiasts. The juice is very concentrated. I use it sparingly and hence reach the longevity that exceeds 12 hours "in neutral". Taking into account its "sillage", it is neither a monster nor a skin scent. Well, lest there should be any misunderstanding, Aqua Sextius projects subtly but it does draw the attention of people in a wearer's immediate vicinity. Both thumbs up!

I bought this on a dream visit to Mazzolari in Milan which has every perfume In the world. I said to the guy “I have 300 perfumes but I want the best fresh/aquatic that I don’t have, that’s an EDP or better, what would you suggest”. He cringed but luckily it only took 4 suggestions before we found one I didn’t have/had, being this. The guy was amazing, if you haven’t been there and love perfumes it worth visiting Milan just for this - you seriously could spend a few days there... Amazing Aquatic! This is what Givenchy Insense Ultramarine would be if it was done properly, not synthetic and all grown up! A bit of a contradiction. Moderate yellow florals (white in reality with help from lemon) on a bed of not too salty sea water and a breeze over the top. A contradiction because I often can feel a strong syrupy floral that sometimes makes me think that that’s all I’m wearing and then it flits suddenly and I get the green oceanic airy aquatic vibe and then they merge giving you this uplifting summery vibe like your in a field of flowers on a windy sea cliff. Absolute powerhouse in performance from an Extrait no less and would easily be the penultimate aquatic For me edging out Aqua Di Gio Profumo and Jacques Fath green Water. Exceptionally unique in build quality putting it in a class of its own.

WOW. I am digging this. I don’t think I have ever smelled anything quite like it; and I own and have sampled MANY fresh aquatic style perfumes—many of which are in the “this reminds me of” section of this very fragrance. The performance is stellar, far exceeding my expectations. My only down side is how it can seem at certain times—albeit very briefly—a little disjointed and or chaotic. It’s weird because I’ll catch whiffs and think “oh my god these notes are glorious together, catching and identifying them individually one by one; but then a moment later they seem like they’re almost superimposed upon each other as if it’s two or more different fragrances sprayed at the same time. That said those moments are very far and few between, and last for mere seconds; so I’d say on the whole I find it to be quite a successful, if not a remarkable composition. Also, I don’t see anything in the notes to corroborate my suspicions but does anyone else get a heavy salty, vanillic ambergris in the base? Like this dry down is SWEET on my skin. It almost reminds me of the base of EBK’s “Ruby N Vanilla Intense”. I mean it’s absolutely delicious, so I am very happy, but wow was that the last fragrance I expected this so-called freshie to associate this one with. Anyone get that vibe?

Aqua Sextius captures the sensation of a summer morning in Aix-en-Provence, sitting beside a stone fountain with a chilled grapefruit spritz in hand, resting beneath the shade of a fig tree as a salty Mediterranean breeze carries hints of pine across sun-warmed stone. The fragrance opens with sparkling grapefruit, juicy lime, and fresh mint, creating a bright and cooling citrus freshness. The heart blends green fig with salty sea air and crisp pine needles for a refined Mediterranean feel. The dry down reveals oakmoss, ambergris, and cedarwood, adding smooth depth and understated elegance. Aqua Sextius is more than a summer fragrance. It is an olfactory portrait of a place, a memory, and a fleeting Mediterranean moment preserved in a bottle. Performance is impressive for a summer fragrance, with excellent longevity and a refreshing trail that lasts throughout the day.

I really like Aqua Sextius,... a lot! If it would not be for the hefty price tag I would definitely buy a bottle at some point. To me it smells really good and complex enough. It really takes me through the 3 different stages it's build on. First there's this wonderful fresh citrus opening with a distinct tea note and a touch of mimosa, sweet and delicate. Then in the mid phase I can clearly detect sea notes, fig and a hint of pine. In the dry down it gets slightly balmy with labdanum and amber. The hefty price tag is explainable due to the fact it's an extrait de parfum. I find it has good longevity! I would love to have it, but... not for that price I guess :(

I bought Aqua Sextius last year when I was looking for a "colder" frag. I've tested many but this one finally won me over. It's extait de parfum so I'm hoping it will last on me without the need to reapply. I'm wearing it today for the first time, it over 30 degrees here and I'm getting cool whiffs of the frag around. Projection is good, longevity even better. I've applied in the morning and it's almost 17:00 and it's still performing. And it was not that expensive as others mentioned. It does remind me of Womanity, I own both and cannot be happier :-)

Salty sea breeze, fresh orange, sparkling grapefruit, bergamot, a pinch of pine, fig fruit, and clean musk. Freshly washed skin with the breeze blowing some salt on it. A vibrant blue sky is getting ready to set. The warm rays of the orange-hued sun. The last light of the day illuminates her smile. This fragrance makes me think of happy days on the beach that turns into night. It's joyous and sparkling with a slightly sexy edge to it. It makes me think of those days you never want to end on the beach with someone you love.

Pure love... salty, fresh, aquatic goodness here that mixes citrus, salt water, woody notes and somehow does it in a new way. Aquatic fragrances can be overplayed and a little redundant; you either get an Aqua Di Gio copy, a Cool Water copy, or something on that spectrum. This however is composed more of a salty, citrus and light fruity family. I loved it after wearing it for a few times and now that my sample vial is all gone I need to bite the bullet and get a bottle for myself.

Good, fresh, aromatic but very expensive for summer...something similar, high quality, but no so expensive, for me it's "L'eau des Eperides" di Dyptique or the wanderful "eaux di Francis Kurkdjian. Buono, fresco, aromatico ma costoso! Ottimo per l'estate.Qualcosa di simile con alta qualità ma non così costoso, per me è L'eau des Esperides di Dyptique, ma a cercar bene ci sono tante belle fragranze fresche. Tipo le acque favolose di Francis Kurkdjian. .

I love this scent. It’s not an outright freshie though... it is sticky sweet, the citric content turning ever so slightly urinic with a slight feel of florals, quite quickly but the there’s a nice salty ozonic touch that makes it contradictory. This benefits its above average balloon and staying power where as most airy fresh vesions turn into something else, musky, powdery, woody etc this has a fairly linear ride. Def unisex and somewhat unique.

Aqua Sextius is a fabulous blend with composition of Orange, Fig & sea notes. Being this created in 2014 & getting recognized now is strange across Frag Community. Only downside is its performance, but it creates bubble for at least 4+ hrs. It is still a magic. If you want 90% similar composition + Lasting, try Sex-Sea Lorenzo Pazzaglia it’s 90-95% same with 7-8 hours performance.

Fresh marine aquatic with a melange of fizzy citruses (slight grapefruit lean), green eucalyptus and mint offer an uplifting radiance, plus a touch of fruity fig. Somewhere between "mint chewing gum" and "chlorinated swimming pool" in a sort of cleaned-up, idealized fantasy way. Woods and oakmoss hold down the base. Moderately soft projection for 2-3hr, longevity 6-8hr.

Really love this stuff. Fresh scent with depth. Warm and cold, fresh and deep at the same time. Its almost like being on beach a sunny day, putting on a high end sunscreen with fig and coconut. The salty smell from the ocean and a hint of drift wood thrown up on the beach by the powerful waves. This frag really takes me there, into that scenario. Sexy stuff! 9/10

It's not for everyone but please, try it. It smells like a citrus candy for old people, the one your grand mother used to eat in the car going on holiday at the beach. The base notes are a magnificent forest, the one you and your grand father used to go to find some mushrooms and wildflowers. I love it and thanks to Jules and Madalina for their work !

یک انجیری متفاوت و بسی با کیفیت همه چی تموم و یونیسکس ----------- Scent & Qualiy: 10/10 Longevity: 8/10 Sillage: 8/10 Creativity & Uniqueness: 9/10 Affordability: 4/10 ----------- Overall: 7.8 + 0.5= 8.3/10

This is reaaaaally good, works amazingly in the summer/high heat. Smells like a salty shower gel and it has really good performance (both longevity and sillage). Shame it's only available in 50ml.

Dry down is toe to toe with Fico di Amalfi from ADP with booster. However, nobody suggested it in similar category. strange.

great frag definitely unisex ,i can smell fig and sea notes with very little sweetness safe for blind buy

Bu kadar fresh ve kalıcı bir parfüm olamaz, yaz parfümlerinin nirvanası, ötesi yok.

Adorable scent. Not unique but soothing. Something about it is special...

Could we please gatekeep this one? Thank you 🫣

This fragrance smells like happiness to me

Summer essential! Very nice fragrance

Personal: 7/10 - It's not bad but I find it uninteresting. Mass appeal: 8/10 - It's a good daily fragrance but some may find the sweetness offputting Performance: 7/10 - It lasts a bit longer than other freshies, but not quite a whole workday. Value: 4/10 Unnecessarily expensive for a generic smelling freshie. Uniqueness: 3/10 - It feels ununique. Similar to Le Male Lover. Creamy fresh lotion. SCORE: 58/100 Full bottle buy? NO, does what Le Male Lover does but for more money. Blind buy? YES, it's a fairly safe sweet freshie, but it's expensive. Recommend? NO, particularly generic for the price. Date night? YES, bright and fresh but sweetness may evolve weird on certain skins. Office safe? NO, it's mostly fresh but the creamy sweetness could definitely be cloying. Pros: Wonderful fresh lotion scent. Fresh and bright. Performs pretty well. Cons: Expensive. Not entirely unique, kind of generic. Not memorable. This is a sweet, creamy, but fresh fragrance. I don't enjoy the lotion-ey overtones that are present and I think if it focused more on citruses, musk and woods it would have been better. Maybe the fig plays in kind of weird, but the sweetness layers and evolves in a kind of weird and definitely a kinda offputting way. I don't think I'd really reach for this fragrance, but it's not bad by any means, so it's hard for me to rate it lower. It's not bad but it's not amazing. Yawn. *Review #17 in my fragrance journey - this fragrance I own as a decant*

Starts fresh and lightly citrusy/fruity/herby, with a watery feel. Not watery in the sense of 90s calone, or modern sea water perfume, but more like the highly aerated spray off a water fall. This water is saturated with minerals, like it is splashing off rocks at force, and this minerality gets stronger as the perfume dries down, slowly replacing the airy and drier citrus top notes. More salt comes in as well, and it feels a bit heavier and creamier overall by the 3 hour mark. A little bit woody, too. It’s very pleasant. Ultimately a refreshing, light, easy to wear perfume, with a totally unisex appeal. It reminds me in this way of Eau de Rochas but with a much lighter dose of citrus. This has pretty amazing longevity and projection for a freshie perfume, easily lasting 9 plus hours with a more than arms length projection. This is one of those perfumes a person would reach for alot as it is suitable for so many occasions.

During that time I wear it, there is a light & calm aquatic vibe. This one is not synthetic against a lot of aquatic fragrance. Aqua Sextius open with very sharp citrusy notes specially bergamot & lemon. You can imagine a sparking citrusy juice for 10 min. Main accord appear as fig woody sense in the middle that reminds me of womanity by thierry mugler but here is more light & balance. Finally in the base a pleasure mix of lovely notes such as amber & musk complete this woody-aquatic fragrance. Strong longevity & good silage about some hours.

ترش و فرش شروع میشه و آرام آرام رو به اعتدال و آرامش میره در ابتدا کمی ترش و مرکباتی به همراه حسی تازه از چای سبز که شروعی دلچسب رو رقم می زنه و رفته رفته با اضافه شدن حال و هوای دریایی و گلی و چوبی و البته مشک ترکیبی جذاب و تابستونی رو ایجاد می کنه که تکراری نیست و متوجه میشید که روی محصول هنر و سلیقه به خرج داده شده. ************************ scent:8/10 longevity:8.5/10 sillage:7/10 purchase value:2.5/10 ********** overall:6.5/10

یک ادوکلن خوش بو در کلکسیون من.مخصوص بهار و اواخر تابستان .البته نه گرمای زیاد.بهترین فصل ان بهار است.ماندگاری و پخش بسیار خوبی دارد.قیمت ان هم با توجه به غلظت ان مناسب است.البته جعبه ادوكلن من با اين تصوير جعبه سايت فرگرنتیکا متفاوت است.مثل .جعبه سری پرایوت تام فورد اما با رنگ سفید کرمی است.

I quite like Aqua Sextius, but I don't know what one would do with this perfume. It opens with strong sharp citrus, somewhat reminiscent of Bvlgari Tygar, but then veers toward a tropical seaside effect, finishing with a showing of salty figs, black tea, and honeyed amber. All of these aspects are pleasant, well rendered, and enjoyable, but is it too heavy for warm weather or too light for cool weather? I can perhaps envision wearing this fragrance on a very upscale cruise or at a holiday resort night-time event. Those types of venues are not on my calendar for the foreseeable future, so this will remain an at home sniffer for now.

- Unique, fresh, salty, ozonic. - Rather than being linearly unisex, it's as if there is both a masculine layer and a feminine layer. - A sunscreen-like scent emerges long into the dry down. - After taking a shower, the back of my hand where it was sprayed has a salty-marine skin scent reminiscent of Parfum d'Empire Acqua di Scandola.

Nice, if somewhat forgettable scent.

From this I initially take marine notes, cucumber, peppery guajac, musk, fanta ambergris, fresh citrus with a vague Aque di Gio vibes. Greener, floral and light, sometimes bittersweet of labdanum and cedar remains bright and luminous with a strong resemblance to Dune by Dior and very close to Jacques Fath's whom I appreciate less. In a smoother version for swimming pools with chlorine, fresh, daytime, and alas ... boring.

Disappointing. Too similar to Dyptique's Oyedo, and with a chemical current (hydroxicitronellal?). Jul etMad have beautiful perfumes such as Amour de Palazzo or Terrasseen Saint Germain, but this one...not really worth the hefty price tag.

A fresh scent that turns male'ish on my skin. Very nice on a man, I think. A bit skinclose - I have a splash-sample - maybe a bit "louder" when you spray on skin.

Strong fake dish soap / detergent citrusy fragrance. I can’t appreciate it enough, sorry.

A weird mix of aquatic and sweet that just doesn't work

Its sticky sweet not airy or fresh

Was lucky enough to visit a local perfumery near my house and sample this in the wake of all the hype last year. I purchased a sample to give it a full wearing, despite being wearied by the drydown it presented on card. As expected, it turned out to be just as disappointing in the full wearing I gave it. Aqua Sextius does open up with a very bright, juicy sweet citrus accord. It's very appealing actually. But the fragrance quickly dries down (like literally in 60 seconds) to a stale aquatic, faceted with various tinges that are hard to distinguish as anything more than musky. All the positive qualities become this singular mélange of sour aromatics that's very off-putting. It gives me the impression of a high-class escort reference of some kind. Everything seems all too perfectly at first...but it's over all too quick...and then you get robbed. It just isn't worth it in the least. Strongly recommended to sample before buying, as this could be an experience that you're sure to regret otherwise.

I so much wanted to describe Aqua Sextius for a long time, but I didn't have the starting point. I'd rather paraphrase and confirm Luca Turin's words from the 2018 edition of "Perfumes: The Guide". Indeed, Aqua Sextius bends the law of physics in a way rarely experienced: that top notes, subconsciously expected to quickly fade away, turn out to actually be a persistent heart accord lasting for eternity. Magic! It is something you surely wished to happen in many compositions where the glamorous explosion of the opening lasted 10 minutes and was then reverted into a bland, predictable, darker and softer heart. No heart and no base here. It's just the opening getting more vivid, minty, piney, abstract close-up of water freshness and the idea of abundant vegetation in the background, oscillating between greens and fruits from the trees. Truly amazing, unbelievably persistent.

This opens up very bright and fresh!! I get the grapefruit, bergamot and the oranges with a hint of tea leaves. The fig note in this thing is very juicy and realistic to my nose and the woods are also very smooth and pleasant. To sum it up, this is a very citrusy, bright, sweet, woody, aquatic fragrance that is not your average summer freshie. I found out about this fragrance by browsing the web for a summer time fragrance and when this one popped up the notes sounded interesting to me so I said what the hell!! And I'm very happy I blind bought this fragrance because it's really amazing and somewhat unique and the presentation is very good with the frosted glass on the back of the bottle and the cap feels nice and heavy. This one is sort of under the radar and that's another reason I love this because unless you're a fraghead most people won't be wearing this fragrance.

This is such an addictive, unique, unisex scent. It has this ozonic quality that is very addictive to me, similar to Stairway to Heaven. I've loved quite a few perfumes from this line and I hope they start getting the attention they so deserve. In the USA, you can purchase this like from Parfum Exquis. I'm not typically fond of pine or marine notes but here it really works. It's really hard envisioning this fragrance by the note pyramid, and you just have to try it. Parfum Exquis offers a sampler pack from Jul et Mad as well as 5, 10mL travel atomizers. If you're like me and you live in a hot climate, this is a great choice for those days where temps are over 105.

This smells really like "Womanity" by Thierry Mugler. I would rate it slightly higher since it doesn't have the peculiar 'Asian food market' muskiness of Womanity, but there's no denying the similarity. Quite frankly, it smells rather synthetic and most of the notes listed aren't really detectable apart from musk and a cloud of sharp, salty calone and citrus. €240 for this is a giant waste of your money if you ask me. Stick with Womanity, or one of its variants, and you will have the same aquatic effect for so much less.

Beautiful aquatic! Good unisex! (I hope not to dwell on the question of gender;) I am a Woman and I was more than comfortable in it !;) I don’t really like aquatic fragrances, this one was accidentally given in a soooo, I liked it, I didn’t have a place on the skin) and the color of the perfume is one-on-one with the color of my eyes :) (in reality, the perfume is closer to the turquoise hue than to what is in the picture here.). Summer is a chic unisex scent!

It’s definitely aquatic and I get some fig. It has that aquatic sweetness that Womanity and Zoologist Squid have. Toned down slightly though. It’s pretty unisex, opens more masculine with the citrus notes but then that fades and it’s unisex. I think this would be a nice summer scent if you like aquatic fragrances with some sweetness and aren’t made nauseas by it like some.

یه جزیره که پنهونه میون هفت دریا من و تو تنها آدماشیم کنار مزرعه چای و درخت پیر انجیر یه کلبه‌ روی درختای سبز داریم که پنجره اش تا ابدیت رو به دریاست واسه تن بازی موج های نیلی روی شن های داغ ذوق مرگ میشیم شبامون روشن از عطر گل های سفیده ما از خواستن‌ هم خسته نمی شیم یه عطر آکواتیک سبز و سیتروسی کاملا متفاوت با عطرهای خنک خسته کننده ای امروزی

This is rather pleasant and I thoroughly enjoy the experience of wearing it. The citrus at the top is beautiful, and the transition to a subtle musky dry down is even better. With that being said, I think it may be bottle worthy, and it is definitely worth sampling. Nicely done.

This may be the only fresh fragrance i can wear. For some weird reason I can't stand fresh citrus fragrances. Summer I go only with Megamare and ADS. Think base notes is making this fragrance wearable to me. Longevity and projection above average. I could smell it 6-8h+

قبل خریدحتماتست کنید،عطری بابوی بسیارملایم وپخش متوسط وکیفیت خوب نه درحدریویوهای عجیبی که گاهامیبینید،اصلا عطرخاصی نیست وارزش این هزینه گزاف رونداره،بنده شخصا به ماندگاری وپخش عطراهمیت نمیدم ولی این عطررایحه خیلی یونیک وباحالی نداره که به این قیمت بیارزه6/10

If this is like Vers le Sud from Jacques Fath... then HARD PASS! VLS was cloyingly sweet and salty at the same time, and not fresh to me at all. I love fig in fragrance, and was very disappointed in that one. They are both by Cecile Zarokian, so...?

This does have a lot of similarity to Curacao Bay by Jacques Fath just done much better. If you like that style of fragrance, sparkling citrus, hints of sea salt, slightly floral you will absolutely love this. Perfect for a summers day.
