By the editors · 2 min readThe opening arrives cool and citric, grapefruit and neroli mingling with the green-bitter snap of petitgrain. It's a clean marine start that never veers synthetic—Bvlgari keeps things natural-feeling even as the aquatic theme builds. Within minutes, seaweed and rosemary emerge, lending a saline herbal quality that suggests Mediterranean coastline rather than sterile hotel soap.
As it settles, amber and Virginia cedar provide a soft, woody foundation. The drydown stays translucent and slightly sweet, never heavy, letting the marine character persist without dominating. The overall effect is breezy and groomed, nautical without the usual chemical sharpness that plagues the category.
Best suited to warm weather and daytime wear. It's approachable enough for office settings but has enough personality to avoid complete anonymity. A reliable choice for anyone seeking freshness without the harshness of citrus-only colognes.
