quietguy Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 This was a PE Mara graciously made for me in an attempt to recreate a cologne that is no longer made. I think Mara pretty much hit this one out of the ballpark. It is about as close to the original as you could ask for and is just great in its own right. I asked our household "nose" what she thought with one on one arm and one on the other. She said they were very close with The Adventures of Aqualad being slightly more floral. That floral hint might be enough to make this uni-sex. The Adventures of Aqualad is an aquatic scent. It starts out a little sweet/floral on my skin but the sweet/floral dies down as it dries leaving me with the strong aquatic scent with just a light hint of floral. I wish I could give you a better description of the notes but as I have said before, I do not know individual notes well enough to identify them. Thank you Mara - this is definitely a winner.

quietguy Posted August 13, 2012 Author Share Posted August 13, 2012 (edited) Arcus by Amouage I asked for a second opinion today from a female friend of ours and got a thumbs up on the scent. Edited August 13, 2012 by quietguy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quietguy Posted August 13, 2012 Author Share Posted August 13, 2012 It seems to have passed the wife test! I have mentioned it before but my wife does not like a lot of colognes and does not like them on heavy. I have been wearing this for several days now and she seems very happy with it!

cchristys Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 I received this one as a sample and I love the smell of it!! I wish I had a BF to slather it on him!! It's a nice scent! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 (edited) I got a sample of this with my order, it really changed my mind about aquatics. It smells amazing and dries down to a sweet sea scent, a light and refreshing and clean scent. Edited August 17, 2013 by Loki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
