Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Aqva EDT
This discontinued gem is proper divisive. Folk either love its unique salty aquatic vibe and beastly performance for summer, or they absolutely hate it, calling it synthetic, eggy, or even like 'rotting fruit in a puddle'.
Acquired
Our Verdict - 230 Bvlgari Aqva Amara EDP
230 AM follows Bvlgari Aqva Amara's mandarin-neroli-olibanum shape, but the dupe's base is very light and the scent fades within a couple of hours.

Its potent projection and unique, sometimes polarising, aroma make it less suitable for formal or office settings. However, its 'beast mode' performance and strong aquatic-citrus notes are perfect for high heat, making it an ideal casual and sport scent, especially around water, where it really shines.
