Aquaman

I adore the advertisement for this scent, and I collect anything Rochas, so it had to be got for my collection, even if it`s a men`s scent.. Very mediterranean, very summery classic. Kicks off with cypress and sage, and there`s a distinct eucalyptus oil scent lingering on. Now my one is a vintage bottle, so it might be dated but I get no grapefruit at all, it`s just very fresh and most of all HERBAL, the herbs are the main players here, everything else must only be assisting; amber and cedar show in the drydown, geranium also. I don`t think the name aptly describes the scent though - it is anything but aqua..It should be named after forest fauns instead..;-)

Overall easy to wear, fresh and clean. Very pleasant to wear. Longevity is solid for a fresh fragrance. You stand out as this is worn by not too many people - and no clones in sight. Discontinued and I still have a great memory of it ... Performance: 6-8 hours Sillage: Ok at arms length For whom: Gentlemen >20 My background: I only write reviews about scents I have worn already (until the bottle is finished) or are in current use. I'm a Gentlemen - middle aged - predominantly in an executive office environment wearing suits and representing with many official gatherings

This such a fantastic fragrance that it has become my scent for this summer. I really enjoy the herbal feel this offers but man is the longevity and silage a let down. On my skin it only lasts 2 hours tops and then it's gone completely. So I spray generously on my work clothes and manage to get it to last the summer day.

ONE OF THE BEST FRAGRANCE EVER MADE.JUST CANT GET ENOUGH OF THIS AMAZING FRAGRANCE.

Unique and high quality. Not your typical blue fragrance. Much more interesting !

I bought this long time ago, well I would say 6 months ago, and I finally wore it for the first time, was waiting for the summer and other colognes got in the way. This is a nice fragrance for the summer, totally inoffensive and easy to wear, is sadly discontinued like some of the best Rochas fragrances for men. I became a fan of this house back in the 90's with Monsieur Rochas. This Aquaman is very fresh and subtle, but will update at the end of the day. Well at the end of the day I can say I got at least one compliment and it was pleasant to wear at its peak, which is about 2 hrs. of on the skin, I think this would last longer if you spritz some in your clothes, otherwise by the 6 hrs is gone and only traces of it are left very close to the skin, but is a nice fragrance while it last. The marketing poster for this fragrance is awesome!

I’ve been gifted a half-full miniature of Rochas Aquaman and its another perfume i haven’t heard about before. To be honest, my intuition told me not to expect much from the scent, especially after going through so many heavy niche and artistic creations as of late but i was open to being positively surprised. Most of the time i intentionally avoid looking up the notes of a fragrance and often im only aware of their typology or vibes they fit. With perfumes i haven't heard about i go in completly blind but with Aquaman i went against that and deliberately looked it up on fragrantica before testing it. The information i quickly gathered was promising. Perfumed by Jacques Cavallier, it employs many attractive notes to me, apparently the dominant ones being Cypress, Eucalyptus and Grapefruit. These notes are amongst my favourites because they individually define some of my favourite perfumes. In Rochas Aquaman, the note of Eucalyptus immediately stands out to my nose. I’ve been acquainted with this note from a couple of Serge Lutens perfumes but it didn’t quiet click with me why its associated with relaxation and therapy. Now that i smell Aquaman, i finally understand. This got me thinking, what makes the scent of eucalyptus evoke vacation vibes for someone who never got to travel or even see an eucalyptus plant? Rochas Aquaman, because it clearly highlights the note's facets, helps me answer that question even from a theoretical or inexperienced point of view. Eucalyptus smells natural, herbal, slightly sweet but also soft and gentle. Sweetness, altho traditionally coming from natural sources such as fruits or sugarcane, more often then not makes me think of processed things that more or less lost their naturalness. The gentle sweetness of eucalyptus remains firmly in the natural realm. Herbs often can be sharp and that paints a different picture but eucalyptus is different again because its delicate and pampering. The scentprofile of eucalyptus itself pushes the brain into a relaxing mindstate. Thing is, there are other scents and aromachemicals that can achieve delicate or pampering effects but the natural aspect of eucalyptus is what makes it authentic. Throughout my journey i’ve noticed patterns where certain notes are often combined and that is not because of lazyness by perfumers but because they seemlessly complement each other. Citruses and vetiver, rose and oud, iris and chocolatey notes to name a few. Eucalyptus and aquatic notes is another one of those combinations that work flawlessly and thats what we get here aswell. Eucalyptus itself has an aquatic nouance so its no surprise that it works so well in this context. As most people, i also associate aquatic perfumes with summer and hot weather but not necessarily relaxation. Perhaps because of fragrances such as Acqua di Gio, i often associate an aquatic perfume with day-to-day summer activities and work but not necessarily leisure or vacation. Aquaman on the other hand leaves no room for interpretation because its scentprofile clearly paints a picture of holydays and tropical spa resorts. Compared to LV’s Pacific Chill, another holyday evoking scent, it makes me think of a more quiet, calm and secluded kind of vacation.

I bought it after seeing that great photo ads made by Kal Yee - with "model" Alen Kobilica - swimming in deep pool. Very spacious and breath-full. Fresh, but not very "fruity". Winter-like, but not "menthol" or "frozen". It is not "cold water", it is indeed "open water", or "your big swimming pool, where you are alone". For day-off, for resting. Relaxes your brain BUT focuses your vision *LITERALLY*. Very strong. I wear it on saturday. Lasts longer than 12 hours with no or little changes. Analogues are : ESPRIT Connect (less balanced, more "pushy"), Baldessarini "Del Mar" (more complex, wider spectrum, more balanced).

Aquaman opens with a really strong mix of grapefruit and eucalyptus. Actually, the eucalyptus is the main note during the first minutes. Unfortunately, the whole evolution of Aquaman is quite fast and simple. It soon becomes slightly floral and the cardamom begins to play its major part. It's a lovely fragrance that lasts 3-4 hours on my skin, with moderate sillage. I trully wish it could last longer. Lovely bottle as well.

Jil Sander Men meets Gucci PH II. I have yet to get to know Aquaman better, but it does really resemble these two fragrances. Lasting power is ok. It is a bit sharp (as in cheap smelling) in the beginning, but after a few hours it gets softer. Lots of pepper! By the way the bottle and cap are pretty nice. Better quality (a bit heavier) than I thought. Back to the scent. For now: 6,5/10

Not even close Lanvin to this little gem. Awuaman, beside its namez it is not a common " oceanic" fragrance, it is made in a very Cavalliere style, as it was probably other masterpiece, Miyake Bleue ( but they are not at all similar). It is an ozonic chypre aromatic smell, very masculine, refreshing,.special. a masterpiece IMO too rare and very expensive unfortunately nowadays.

What looks like a typical aquatic turns out to be an uncommon aromatic. It's good, but the bottle is better. Aquaman is a fresh alternative for my summer garderobe but will have to wait its turn on the substitutes' bench. ***(**)

Looking for a perfume for my boyfriend, I found this one... I loved it! The smell took me to the woods. My boyfriend hated it, and I still wonder if is there any feminine version for this scent... I won't give up! :)

I bought this perfume because of the Aquaman movie. I wore it for the 1st time to the movie premiere despite buying it 6 months ago. It's nothing special, doesn't last long. The very opposite of the DC movie, LOL.

Great year round fragrance. First look was about 6 years ago. It caught my eye at a perfume shop because it was called AQUAMAN. Tried it on... loved it. Been buying faithfully ever since... when I can find it.

for me, smells like Nestea (ice tea with lemon). The opening is very crispy and gives me headache. After 30 min, i have this Nestea impression

I so love this fragrance. I only wish I had bought 3 or 4 bottles. It has now become a collectors fragrance, Now too expensive. But 10/10.

so hard to find for what it is... it is good but nothing out of this world, especially the drydown...

Mariantu... there's an Aquawoman by Rochas and u can still find it online.
