Perfumes Zag Zodiak 230 Bvlgari Aqva Amara is an Eau de Parfum. 230 Bvlgari Aqva Amara opens with Mandarin, settles into a heart of Aquatic and Neroli, and dries down to a base of Patchouli and Frankincense. Perfumes Zag Zodiak's 230 Bvlgari Aqva Amara carries a Statement verdict, a fresh-led wear.

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.

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

230 AM is modelled on Bvlgari Aqva Amara, opening with Sicilian mandarin before watery notes and neroli bring freshness. Olibanum and Indonesian patchouli leaf close a light base. The marine-citrus character of the original is recognisable, though with far less staying power.
