Hey guys I want to buy an acquatic scent, something light and fresh that smells good.
I am thinking about Un Jardin En Mediterranee by Hermes or Salvatore Fergammo Pour Homme, but Im not sure if those are acquatic.
Can someone tell me some good scents that smell good and are not so cliche such as Acqua di Gio, Eternity, Light Blue, BVGLARI AQUA, etc
I was also wondering has anyone ever tried Ocean Rain?

The Kenzos are good, especially Kenzo Pour Homme and L'Eau par Kenzo.

I'm not a huge aquatics fan but three I like:

Kenzo Pour Homme - has a nice floral/ocean like smell
Versace Pour Homme - nice light scent that last a long time on me
Azzaro Chrome - sort of an aquatic/metallic note. Was popular and common in the 90's but not so much now, so might be "old school" for you. Also inexpensive

All three you should be able to track down try at your local mall.

  • Gender:
Kenzo Pour Homme
Bvlgari Aqua
Davidoff Cool Water

Azzaro Chrome is more of fruity aromatic, but really great, try it
Versace Pour Homme - nice mediterranean scent
Tommy Hilfiger Tommy - apple-ish cinnamon-ish fresh scent, great stuff
Hugo Boss Boss in motion Black - really nice woody aromatic
Boss Elements aqua - very smooth, kind of wet (lol!)

L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme has an aquatic vibe. Definitely worth a try.

+1 for Tommy, spicy aquatic. Mellow and great for high school (used to be one of my signature scents in hs) Hummer H2 for another spicy aquatic. Or if you're really confident, you can try Horizon. This may be too intense for a high school student though, but that all depends on you. It's a very herbal aquatic that's quite a powerhouse, but once it settles in, it may be more suitable for you. Just spray it on 2 hours before class

Versace Eau Fraiche



fresh, uplifting, inoffensive to your fellow students and long lasting...

Notes (the prominent notes in bold):
White Lemon, Rosewood, Carambola, Tarragon, Cedar Leaves, Clary Sage, Musk, Amber, Sycamore Wood


Please note (imho of course):
L'eau d issey: played out
Kenzo ph: too marine (you'll tire of smelling iodine)
L'eau par kenzo: great top notes, hate the drydown

Un jardin en mediterrane is not aquatic it smells of mediterranean herbs, spices and figs.

Salvatore Ferragamo is also nice but it is a fruity fresh fragrance it smells of blackberries, figs, grapefruit and woods.

If you want something that has an aquatic vibe from Hermes, you should try Un Jardin Apres La Mousson, that it has melony aroma mixed with spices and nice woods.
If you are run out of cash, a frag that it`s fresh and nice and forgotten is ck crave.
