Since I'm not sure I know what an aquatic is, I'll say OWW is quite similar to the original HeWood. There is some bitter artemisia at the start and some very fine, unusually realistic woods. I can just sort of catch the oceanic vibe. The drydown becomes more of a raspy synthetic wood, but all in all a pleasant, competent fragrance. I still think the original HW is more unique in its combination of subtle but complex woods and what to me smells like a slippery cucumber note though, like OWW, the drydown gets a bit cloying. Both HW and OWW have fairly long endurance, as opposed to Rocky Mountain Wood, which just sinks into my skin and disappears. (I shouldn't say disappear. The woods quickly disappear, and all that's left is a rather familiar vetiver.)
