Perfumes Zag Zodiak 197 Bvlgari Aqva Pour Homme Marine is an Eau de Parfum. 197 Bvlgari Aqva Pour Homme Marine opens with Grapefruit, Mandarin, Petitgrain, and Neroli, settles into a heart of Rosemary, and dries down to a base of Amber and Cedar. Perfumes Zag Zodiak's 197 Bvlgari Aqva Pour Homme Marine carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

197 BA leans on Bvlgari Aqva Pour Homme Marine's grapefruit-neroli-cedar marine accord, but the dupe's base is very light and the scent all but disappears within a couple of hours.

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.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bitter orange peel Citrus Aurantium Amara Peel Oil from Neroli
  • Neroli Citrus Aurantium Amara Flower Oil from Neroli

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

197 BA takes after Bvlgari Aqva Pour Homme Marine, opening with grapefruit, neroli and petitgrain over a light rosemary heart, before Virginia cedar and amber close things out. It keeps the marine-citrus freshness of the original but with far less staying power.
