Turquatic

This has become my hot weather signature perfume. I ADORE this. I was looking for something watery, fresh with some sweetness for the summer (or when I don’t want to do too much) and this is the perfect scent for it. Definitely a compliment getter considering it’s not an in your face type of perfume. I wore it to work and a colleague asked me what I was wearing. I agree with the reviews saying this is what the “IT” girls would’ve worn in the 2000s. I’m a late 90s baby but I can imagine this is how the cool older girls would’ve smelt back then, especially in the summer. It’s certainly aquatic, but it’s also breezy, fresh and sweet. It literally smells like how the bottle looks, I can’t really explain it lol. If you haven’t already, please try this out, I can’t imagine anyone not liking this unless you’re not into fresh/clean scents- but even then I think you might still like it as there isn’t too much of a particular note. This is the only perfume I’ve bought where I’ve wanted to get a backup straight away, and the only perfume that I don’t get sick of. There’s already a huge dent and I bought it 2 weeks ago 😅 so it’s not the longest lasting perfume, maybe 4 hours tops on me, but I don’t care it’s very affordable (£36 for a 50ml bottle) and it will forever be in my collection. They NEED to make a lotion/body cream! I hope they never discontinue this.

I'm not really that familiar with Aquatic fragrances for women but when I tried this one I have to say I thought they were being treated to some good juice from M.A.C. Now I've discovered it's unisex I'm happy that guys(not really me) will get a wear out of it because it's wonderfully aquatic in a way that many other supposed aquatics aren't. Hard to pin point quite what I mean by that? Maybe its that citrus or a salty marine or calone accord (especially in male aquatics) doesn't represent the true freshness of the broader term 'Aquatic'. Well Turquatic does just that before I knew the name I commented on my friends aroma and said 'mmmmm..nice. Very aquatic.' before I knew the name or saw that strange bottle. Anyway it's mainly cedar with a hint of water lily and something a little sweet wrapped in a fresh lightweight accord that I defy anyone to dislike. This cosmetics giant is known for being pricey and I'm not sure how much this juice costs but I can imagine it's probably expensive compared to high street designer fragrances. Didn't do a proper longevity test on my own skin only on my hand and it was gone pretty quick. My friend was carrying it in her handbag and was reapplying it so that told me it probably doesn't last well either. All in all smells really nice can't fault the scent.

Recently received a 20ml bottle of this on sale, and tried it yesterday after my morning shower. Initially I loved it and thought it was a great freshie alternative to Light Blue, which I've never really been a huge fan of (too much citrus, which doesn't usually suit me) -- this one seemed more sophisticated, little bit of smooth lemon in the opening, airy, woody, and maybe it was the anemone I was smelling that gave it a unique feature. Never experienced that note before. Turquatic came across fresh smelling, but a little more upscale. Well, it smelled great for almost 2 hours and then I couldn't really detect it anymore. Then I sprayed my shirt and I think that was a mistake. It seemed to smell better on skin, which of course doesn't last as long. Once I left my air conditioned home to go out into the 90 degree heat & humidity -- which I thought it would shine in -- it seemed to go sour. It smelled much better indoors in the cool air. I will give this one a few more chances and see how it does. But I'm glad I didn't immediately go and order a larger bottle based on my first sniff. It will take some more testing before I decide if it's worthy of a backup purchase.

I bought this perfume a couple years ago and still have the bottle because I took a break from it for a super long time. I revisited it the other week and have been wearing it again, and I forgot how stunning this perfume is. It is incredibly fresh and will make people turn and ask what you're wearing. I would say specifically men are drawn to this scent. All of my compliments on it have been from men. I wore it to a club last week and then we went bar hopping at my university. I got 2 compliments on it - both from men. I do not know if they changed the notes at all, so maybe I am lucky to have the original formula, but the bottle I have is impossible to disappoint. I highly recommend this for a casual spring or summer day. Put it on your skin after you shower. It is ABSOLUTELY not a fall or winter scent. This is strictly for spring and summer days and even nights. I would even say it is more specifically most appealing in a tropical area, like if you're going to the beach or going shopping in for example, Miami. The scent itself is very fresh and a little tropical, but that is the occasion I would wear this for.

I grew up by the beach and let me tell you, this is such a beach babe. It's the perfect FRESH breeze in the morning, no sun out, just the crisp smell of the ocean. Very clean girl. Aquatic for sure. Could be worn in the summer time on the hottest days but also in the winter time. It's salty sweet, but somehow warm & cozy at the same time. You can layer it with coconut and make it yummy, I love it. It's Pirate Flag by Kenny Chesney. Probably what Aquamarine smells like, kinda makes you wish you had mini starfish earrings, whispering the sweetest compliments. It's the kind of perfume you want to smell for when someone is trying to ruin your AURA, killing the vibe or maybe you just want a quick pick me up. This perfume is it. Could be worn with very little to no clothes, all covered up in the winter time, or simply for protection from losers trying to ruin your mood. Smells amazing. It has a lot of potential. Perfect for nights out with babe. I really love it. I have a full bottle but like to carry the roller ball for a juicy touch up. All dressed up or super casual, it's a really sexy perfume. Chefs kiss. BISOUS

Turquatic is a surprisingly juicy version of a definitively aquatic scent. There's a little sweetness, a little hint of florals, but on me, it's an aquatic summerbomb above all else. When I was little, I had a few different toys that were filled with turquoise-tinted, shimmery water. There was a glass magic wand from Disney World, where every wave sparkled with teal glitter, as well as a weird squishy tube that I guess was supposed to be a stress reliever, sold at some suburban store for science and nature lovers. Turquatic kind of smells the way I imagine these various items would, if turned into fragrance. Not edible, not highbrow, not elite in any way... but captivating, oceanic, translucent, and *pretty* -- a form of prettiness that should work on all genders. Not sure about wearing this daily; I think the magic would wear off. But spritzing it before painting watercolors or getting lost in a musical reverie? Yes, count me in! If you see it at a good price, might as well snap it up, for the amazingly attractive bottle at the very least.

I am not a fan of aquatic fragrances but this one is just right! I used to work for MAC and the first time I ever tried Turquatic I was not a fan. About the 3rd or 4th time of spraying this, I became hooked and bought it immediately. That's never happened to me, this scent really grew on me! And not just to the point where I liked it, but to the point where it became my signature fragrance for quite some time. It's fresh, zesty, clean, doesn't give me a headache, and it has a slight sweetness that leaves me wanting more. It's multi-functional for day and/or night. Men seem to love it, being that its unisex (but leans more towards women IMO). Bottom line, it is a sexy aquatic scent which is hard to find (sexy plus clean). Truly truly sexy. Clean scents are more simple, however Turquatic has a slight complexity- perhaps because it has more depth than your average "fresh, clean" fragrance. Definitely a perfume I will repurchase over and over again, and it appeals to many different noses.

I'm usually a gourmand girl but when the weather hits 90+ degrees outside and I don't want to attract any extra bugs and bees, I like to choose something fresher. Turquatic has been one of my absolute faves for this ever since it came out. Going to the MAC counter 20 or so ago was such an experience. Colors I had never seen before, a foundation range that went light enough to match my skin, the coolest and edgiest counter-culture type of people working there, who also happened to all be very nice! I was obsessed. They released their MV line of fragrances and sadly discontinued all of those The MV line was around when I was first introduced to MAC and then a few years later, Turquatic came out. So it just reminds me of those 2000s vibes, the unisex, everyone-is-welcome here feeling at the mac counter, and happy times! It doesn't feel dated at all, don't let that sway you away. Its a fresh and confident out of the shower cool human, ready to conquer the day 💪

MAC Turquatic is a fragrance that everyone should have in their collection. I've gone through 7 big bottles of this perfume and continue to repurchase it. The scent remains timeless and something that anyone from the age of 13 to 85+ can wear. It smells exactly like its name and what the bottle looks like. I have never smelled a fragrance quite like Turquatic. It's fresh, aquatic, lemony, with a slight hint of fresh cut grass. Truly a unisex, day time, office/work appropriate fragrance, perfect for spring and summer although I do also enjoy wearing it in colder months. It lasts all day on me and I can smell it on my clothes when I go to do laundry. I spray this 1-2 times, no more than 3 because it can be strong. The scent does not morph into something too different from the opening, although there is an initial scratchiness that goes away after about 20 minutes. All in all, there is a reason why this fragrance has a rating of 4.32/5.

I usually avoid aquatic fragrance because they somehow often smell either a bit stale on me, too soapy, or just wet, like as if you get wet in the rain - I don't like that smell. Turquatic is very fresh, clean and airy - a perfect aquatic, and what I wanted Armani Acqua du Gioia EDT to be. It's kinda like D&G Light Blue in the typeof fresh smell it gives off - Tyrquatic is what D&G Light Blue Dreaming in Portofino should have been. I love that there's no sharp notes in here, almost no matter how much you spray, and also that the dry-down is soft and warm - it smells heat! All of the aquatic perfumes I have previously tried have dried down bitter on me, but certainly not this one! I absolutely love this perfume and so does my boyfriend :) The only stange thing to me is: it seems like the perfume in rollerball-form is longer lasting than the spray-version, although I have no clue how that would even be possible...

Just applied 8 side to side swipes of the roller ball perfume on the top of my back hand and dapped that hand onto the other and near my back ears. Smells like a lighter less streaky version of D&G Light Blue intense (feminine) with some aquatic musky resemblance to Davidoff’s cool water (feminine) or YSL’s Y eau fraiche (masculine). About 5 minutes later it got sweeter and lemony. Oooh, so nice. I wanna see how it performs and will check back... ...Back now, 7 months later. I’ve misplaced my roller ball but had the spray bottle. I’ve worn it four times now. And with 7-9 sprays (2 small sprays on each side of my ear/hair-neck area, 1 each side of my torso, and one for each inner forearm or bend of elbow), it lasted the whole work day and jumped off my neck/behind ear area when the warm night came. It’s nice and made me smile smelling the citrus chill at dusk and early evening

TurQuatic is my signature scent, I absolutely adore it! I spritz my wrists and my clothing about 15 minutes before I leave the house. I get so many compliments and it's not super strong, the sillage is middle of the road. Which I appreciate. I do NOT want to leave a wake of scent as I pass by another person. I've worn the same scent since I was nineteen years old,with a few others mixed in, and it's high time for a change. I just love the dry down, it's very clean, fresh and aquatic with some amber tossed in. The oak moss and cedar are quite detectable. If MAC stops making TurQuatic, I'll be searching high and low for anything that is similar. IF anyone can compare this, please OH Please, let me know! Lara517

I've heard so many great things about this perfume, but never tried it out. This summer when I was shopping at Macy's I stopped at the MAC counter to give it a try. I instantly fell in love with it. Turquatic is an unique scent. It smells just like the beach with a hint of citrus and florals. The scent is meant for the spring and summer, but I don't care. I still use it in the fall and winter. I'm almost halfway done with the 50ml bottle. As you can tell I love this perfume to death. I even bought a 20ml bottle as a backup. I'm just glad that MAC decided to bring this perfume back to their permanent line. I will forever love this scent and have many bottles as backups. This is my signature scent.

I’ve always loved men’s cologne, and this unisex perfume satisfies that love for freshness and a hint of musk. Turquatic is a little green, a little citrus, a little woody, and a little deep. The musk compliments the citrus really well. I imagine a utopian rainforest would smell a bit like this. Fresh, clean, juicy, and green. I hope that makes sense. I DIG it! The only potential downside for people who love feminine scents is that it can read as masculine. The sillage and longevity are both moderate (better than my gentler perfumes and not as strong as some of my Arab frags.) I will probably love this stuff until the day I die, and wear it in the winter and fall regardless of its vibrancy.

THIS IS TOCCA SIMONE WITHOUT THE (strong) LEMON NOTES !!! when tocca simone dries, that sharp lemon disappears and it is literally identical to this. Simone is a lovely fragrance, its refreshing and vibrant and clean. Same with Turquatic! Both feel like jumping into a pool on a hot summer day! I first bought Turquatic at a duty free while traveling to Mexico and wore it throughout my entire vacation and it has since been my summer/ vacation fragrance! This is sooo much better value. Both Simone and Turquatic have the same longevity and silage (at least on me) however!!! and this is a big however!! 20ml Simone: $61 20ml Turquatic: $36 you do the math :) **simone does have a better bottle..

Pulled this off my shelf to sniff and instantly was transported back in time to 2013. On my way to class, Artpop blasting in my car, MAC lipglass on my mouth, a flowy cardigan in my messenger bag. Unlike some of the scents I wore back in the day, I still really like this one. It has a summery playfulness without being overly juvenile. It's watery, fresh, and citrusy all at the same time - there isn't a note that sticks out to me; its very balanced. It's more watery and more femme (but still unisex) than D&G Light Blue, and doesn't have that spiky, airy-salty note. It's more mellow. I can't see anyone truly disliking this, but with that said, it's definitely best suited to warm weather.

This perfume has such a great smell not strong but then not very weak. For me im a person with a sensitive smell that when perfumes are strong they give me headaches but when I smelt this one I knew this had to be mine. Such a lustful smell when I think of it. For the females mostly. For me I would have to say it lasts about 3-4 hours with 2 sprays. For the design of the turquatic bottle, it is very nice love the blue and yellow color mixture, its like another definition for the smell. You have to try it and even though it might not be your favorite like it is to mine theres no doubt that you will not dislike it at all. Give it a try.

This scent will remind you to drink water. Very fresh, very clean – reminds me of Palmolive Aquarium soap. If you enjoy Frutiger Aero imagery and aesthetics, this perfume will help to immerse yourself in that world. It’s a very happy fragrance – I’d like to believe the aquatic lotus and mild citrus have a direct impact on your mood.. though I might be conflating all that with adequate hydration. And to go off other reviews, this scent is unisex in the same way combining floral Febreze air mist with Axe/Lynx body spray would be (the proportions of which are subjective to the wearer’s olfactory interpretation). Very pleasant.

I really love this fragrance it’s a beautiful fresh, aquatic scent. The water notes, lotus and cedar wood shine here for me. It’s definitely unisex but I think it’s such a gorgeous light, airy, clean fragrance. Perfect for spring and summer. I love this to run errands in, go to the mall or anytime I want a bright, fresh, aquatic fragrance. This one gets you compliments. I love MAC fragrances! I have used quite a lot of the bottle of this that I have and that’s saying a lot as I have a lot of fragrances in my collection. It’s also not expensive and lasts a couple hours on the skin so that’s a plus!

I really wanted a perfume that smelled fresh with realistic aquatic notes, but also still a little sensual and befitting of a date night. This check marks both of those for me! When people say it smells like the bottle looks, that's accurate. I pick up mostly the water, mineral and citrus notes with a *hint* of watery pink florals. There is a whisper of woodiness in the background to anchor the scent but mostly it's very airy and soft. I plan on pairing this with VS Water Mist (sea notes, solar amber and driftwood) for the perfect summer moment 😍 best part? IT'S SO AFFORDABLE
