Where would you rather be right now? A Mediterranean island or on a houseboat in the middle of the ocean? If a boat is out of your budget, aquatic colognes are the next best thing because they have the power to transport you to exotic locations.
Summer is the perfect time for these colognes to come alive because they are easy to wear and highly versatile. You can wear them on a date or keep them in your gym bag for after a workout. You can also wear them on a stressful Monday, when you’d rather be at the beach than in the boardroom.
Ready to smell like summer? Take a dip into these aquatic colognes…
Our Favourite Aquatic Colognes
Bulgari Aqua Pour Homme Marine
This Bulgari fragrance evokes the essence of the ocean like no other. Santolina and Posidonia, Mediterranean sea water plants, are examples of aquatic notes in this cologne. This fresh fragrance is one of our top picks for everyday use and embracing the active outdoorsman that you are.
Davidoff Cool Water Wave
Davidoff’s Cool Water Wave is the pinnacle of aquatic colognes. Its ongoing appeal attests to the composition’s excellence. The aroma immediately conjures up images of crashing waves, dramatic surf and azure oceans. Its fresh, woody scent is enhanced by sea notes, juniper, sandalwood and patchouli, giving it just the right amount of complexity for summer.
Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue Eau Intense Pour Homme
Light Blue Eau Intense is a modern take on the traditional Light Blue fragrance that captures the spirit of the Mediterranean. This fragrance, with stimulating citrus notes, juniper and a trace of musk, is ideal for casual occasions, like an afternoon at the park or brunch with friends. The fresh and vibrant composition exudes casual cool, adding to its daytime appeal.
Armani Acqua di Gio Profondo
The Acqua di Gio Profondo EDP opens with mouth-watering bergamot and fresh green mandarin for an instant hit of freshness. This is followed by cypress, rosemary and lavender, and to wrap things up, it’s grounded with patchouli and musk for some much-needed depth. Due to its ease of wear, versatility and standout scent profile, this is definitely a must-have.
Nautica Voyage
Nautica Voyage is inspired by the feel of the wind, the zest of sea spray and the invigorating spirit of the ocean. The top notes of green leaves and apples are distinctly fresh, dissolving into a softer coastal aroma of lotus and mimosa. The base of cedarwood, amber and musk completes this aquatic fragrance, making it a prime choice for any outdoor activity.
Polo Blue
Are you an equestrian? Perhaps a water polo player? Then Polo Blue, with its exquisite fougere woody scent that finds the right blend of aromatic, aquatic and woody elements, is your collector’s item. It strikes the ideal mix between mandarin orange and fresh basil before resting into a velvety suede and woodsy base. The result: a masculine, sensual and sophisticated scent.
