Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Its moderate longevity and sillage, combined with its fresh and inoffensive profile, make it suitable for casual wear and office environments, though reapplication may be needed. It's less ideal for dates or formal events where a more impactful scent is often preferred.

About

Aqva Marina opens with a zesty, bright blast of lemon, grapefruit, and mandarin, instantly invoking a fresh, oceanic breeze. As it settles, a warm, aromatic heart emerges with spicy cardamom, clove, and nutmeg, complemented by herbaceous rosemary and sage. The dry-down reveals a grounding base of dry cedar and vetiver, softened by a touch of amber, bringing a subtle warmth to the initial freshness.
