Aqua

Don't overlook this one just because it might not have the mystique or prestige of some of the more well known marketed fragrances. I was recently given this fragrance by a friend as a gift. I have worn it out in public on several occasions and received compliments EVERY TIME I have worn it! This currently stands as my #1 most complimented fragrance. The longer it stays on my skin the better it settles in and smells. Is it groundbreaking? No. Is is fresh, clean, vibrant, aquatic affordable and a compliment getter? Yes! Women seem to really like this one. It was a pleasant surprise. To go along with the quality scent is a gorgeous blue glass bottle. It reminds me of the looking at the ocean with the sun shining down from above. It truly sparkles. I think this fragrance would be great for the upcoming spring and summer seasons. You owe it to yourself to go test it and check it out. Well done designer fragrance by Perry Ellis!

This is my first go around with this fragrance. I literally picked this one up because I never had it before, never even smelled it ( so it was a blind buy ) and, I love this color of blue. This smells the way you’d think, a fresh, aquatic smell that is pleasing to the senses and not overbearing. It starts with a strong synthetic, generic smell that calms down shortly after to a cool, safe, aquatic smell. As for longevity, I'm surprised that some say it doesn't last long. I tested it on my forearm one day, and 8+ hours later, I could still smell it. Either people really have diff. skin or something's not right with their batch. Edit: 2024... Revising the longevity part of this review. Been a heatwave here in NY the past few weeks ( on and off ) and I do notice the fragrance hasn't held up and does fade away after an hour or so. So, you definitely need to re-apply. With this being an aqua fragrance, you can't overdo it so, spray away. Best suited for the warmer times. A summer fragrance for sure. To me, this is nice to have and wear out. In the future though, i wouldn't run out for it again, not because it is bad, it just isn't "as good" as I would like an aquatic to be ( like a Polo Sport for example )

I got the chance to test Perry Ellis Aqua yesterday, and was actually slightly impressed with the quality of this juice. Definitely better than I was expecting. Smooth aquatic (of course!) with a nice musky base that makes it more masculine and interesting than the typical mainstream fruity/aquatic/summer colognes. Unfortunately, the longevity issues others were talking about are true, but I could smell very faint traces of Aqua about 7-8 hours after I applied it to my wrist. I would never pay full retail price for this stuff, but if I find it at discount stores for $20 or less, I may definitely get a bottle. Edit: Well, I finally got a bottle of this stuff. I consider it a very good summer aquatic. It would be an excellent fragrance, if it weren't for the very poor longevity. I spray this on generously and while it is strong at first, it quickly fades to nothing after a few hours. Oh well, I really like the smell, so I'll just reapply frequently.

This one doesn't seem all that different from the other aquatics out there, BUT there is one distinction: it is my girlfriend's absolute favorite. We've smelled a ton of designer scents (and a few niche) and this is the one that stuck with her, so I went back and bought it. The open is fresh citrus and after about a minute, there is a salty note that appears (I guess seawater) to give it some depth. There is a little fresh/spicy thing going on along with the seawater note that makes for a pleasant scent. After about an hour, the drydown is very nice, refreshing and cooling for summer. The projection on this one is weak, I used 4 sprays and there wasnt much projection -but the longevity isn't too bad on my skin. After a few hours it turns into a skin scent, but I can still faintly smell it on my arm 13 hours after spraying. So, this one wont be anything special for most people, but if you're looking for a summer aquatic, check this one out.

Do you want to know what this fragrance scent likes? Bring a gallon of water and add a drop of lemon juice to it and you will get this fragrance. Closer to a light cologne than an Eau de Toilette. Bright summer fragrance and the color of the bottle is great but the scent only lasts for a few moments. Suitable for use while walking, visiting the beach, swimming pool and gym. Great choice for sinus sufferers. The price is around $30 for a 100ml bottle on the Perry Ellis website.
