Dupes for Aqva Eau de Parfum
8 affordable alternatives - from £7
Original
Aqva by Bvlgari is a deep dive into the sea, divisive perhaps for its unapologetic seaweed note, but for those who love it, it’s a timeless classic. A natural, rugged aquatic that evokes memories of wild coastlines, though performance can be an issue with newer batches.

Bavaria mirrors Aqva's profile closely, offering a similar experience at a fraction of the cost.
While both Aqva and Aquilo aim for a marine profile, Aqva distinguishes itself with a prominent seaweed note that might not appeal to everyone.

What makes a good dupe?
A good dupe captures the essence of the original fragrance - the same mood, the key accords, the general character - at a more accessible price point. It doesn't need to be a molecule-for-molecule copy. The best dupes feel right for the same occasions and carry a similar energy, giving you more ways to enjoy a scent profile you love.
We assess dupes by comparing the fragrance profile of the original against the dupe: shared accords, overlapping notes, similar longevity and projection, and occasion suitability. Our similarity scores reflect how closely the two fragrances align in character - not just raw ingredients.
