Fragrance Reviews by meonbn

Aqua Motu is the beach…bottled. It’s the warm sand, the fresh ocean breeze, and the golden sun setting across the horizon…think Southern California shoreline. As interesting and realistic as this fragrance is, it is more a novelty than a daily-wearing scent. Still, it is absolutely fascinating, and it makes me smile every time I wear it.

Erolfa’s pure refinement bespeaks the yuppie high life; it’s the gleaming white yacht with gold trim and mirrored glass sailing the cool glistening blue ocean, enveloped by the warm sparkling sun and the crisp fresh breeze. It is the ultimate aquatic/marine fragrance and an experience of high society.

As a connoisseur of aquatic/marine fragrances, I’m utterly baffled by the notion that Mare is even classified as an aquatic/marine. To my nose, it is far too fruity, sweet, pungent, and cheap-smelling, not unlike dryer sheets…yuck! It does not in any way, shape, or form call to mind the sea air or water. In stark contrast, a good aquatic/marine, like Erolfa (my absolute fav.), is dry, airy, sparkly, and refined. Mare is just not the ocean-bottled as the description/classification might have you believe. In fact, if I had to make a comparison, it sort of reminds me of CK-One…gross!
