Aqva pour Homme

Bvlgari · Eau de Toilette (EDT) · 2005

≈ $85 · 100ml · approx. retail

A breezy marine-aromatic built on the briny lift of seaweed and posidonia oceanica, brightened by mandarin and petitgrain and softened with lavender and cotton flower. It dries down into a clean, salty wood-and-amber base that feels effortless and Mediterranean, ideal for warm-weather daily wear.
