Herbal Aquatica

This is a summer banger which is is spearheaded by a sweet fruity but fresh bergamot.Which is very juicy bright and lumious this is accentuated by the mint and sage. Then the sea notes come in with the lotus giving an airy almost aldehydic quality this is then married with a subtle smokey woodies and sweetness.However these are never overbearing and the freshness is never lost.This is a great fragrance with an apt name. The issue is its lost in the oversaturation that is clearly Montales business model.I truly think they need to reign in the amount of releases they do.As alot of their great fragrances are lost in the pack so I think they just need to keep the classics and streamline.They are however better than many other houses that get more hype looking at you Creed!!

Sampled after hearing it was "a better version of Erba Pura". I have Amber Oud Gold as well as a decant of Erba Pura, and enjoy them both. Trying Herbal Aquatica, I was blown away. Fresher, smoother, and less of the sharp synthetic notes that are objectively the worst part of Erba Pura. Still sweet but much less-so. When I got it in and sprayed my decant of Herbal Aquatica, I knew I had to buy it. When I did so and opened my box to spray it, this frag instantly jumped towards the top of my collection, and has since battled its way to my favorite fragrance that I own. Performance is what you'd expect with Pierre Montale's work, which is to say, stellar. This fragrance is all-around one of three 10/10's in my collection.

the notes seem very wrong to my nose but when i think about it more, they do make sense. i thought its a very herbal, sickly sweet scent but i was wrong. the caramel mixed with green notes result in some sweet fruit, reminds me of mangos or papayas. this scent is heavy on caramel, tea and mint to my nose. i ABSOLUTELY adore it and its my number 2 of this perfumer (1 is intense cedrat boise) even after trying nearly all of his creations. such a nice, strong (fruity too?) summer scent, which can also be rocked in warmer winter days as the caramel carries a warm sweetness and the strong performance even cuts through cold air. thank you montale for this scent!

Beautiful nice clean smell. Big emphasis on CLEAN smell. Kind of reminiscent of detergent but better. A nice caramel undertone in the dry down. Very aquatic true to name and true to scent profile. This is the cleanest, freshest fragrance in the montale line for me. Unisex BUT a tiny bit on the feminine side. Lasts long and can put up a fight in the heat of summer still providing you with it’s true scent in the warmest of temperatures. Montale hit hard with this one . Great job by the line. Office friendly if you’re not heavy with the sprays. Great for daytime wear.

I was thinking I would like this more for my husband but after smelling a sample, I want it for me! To me, this is the most shampoo like scent I’ve ever smelled. Like my ideal “fresh out of the shower” fragrance. When I smell this I think of a misty, long haired, sea siren just coming out of the water for a breather. Absolutely stunning. I can’t say I’ve ever smelled anything like this! Love love love for summer time. Cant wait to wear on a date night where we’ll be spending time outside this summer.
