Bvlgari Aqva Eau de Toilette is a luminous aquatic fragrance that mirrors the vitality of the Mediterranean Sea. It opens with a fresh wave of sweet mandarin and petitgrain before unfolding into the deep marine richness of posidonia seaweed and aromatic lavender, finally resting on a warm and masculine base of amber and clary sage. The composition feels both invigorating and sensual, making it an ideal signature scent for men who appreciate a clean yet distinctive marine identity.

Story and Positioning
Aqva is positioned as the cornerstone of Bvlgari’s aquatic line, designed to evoke the strength and mystery of the sea. It balances sparkling citrus with aromatic herbs and mineral seaweed notes, creating a fragrance that is refreshing yet enduring. Compared to its flanker Aqva Marine, which leans brighter and crisper, the original Aqva is deeper, saltier, and more sensual. It appeals to wearers who enjoy marine fragrances such as Davidoff Cool Water or Armani Acqua di Giò but want a more refined, elegant expression of the aquatic genre.
Bottle and Design
The bottle takes inspiration from a polished pebble washed smooth by the sea, rounded and compact in shape, with a deep green-blue hue that mirrors the Mediterranean waters. The reflective surface and minimalist silver detailing create a luxurious yet practical design that feels iconic in the Bvlgari Aqva family.
