Aqua Perfumes
Aqua Perfume is one of the most identifiable fragrance types in Perfumery. What with the iconic Davidoff Cool Water single handedly responsible for giving aqua fragrance its identity and popularity. Even in India, Aqua fragrances are the most sought-after scents. Several of the Indian Perfume brands have multiple aqua fragrance variations available in the mass market. And therein lies the challenge for nice and artisanal perfume brands like Dopamine Perfumes & Fragrances – to create a range of Aqua fragrance that separates the classiness of an Aqua Fragrance from the mass market version. What is also true is people often misunderstand the scent of an Aqua perfume with that of a Citrus Perfume. And perfumers in India have done very little to clarify the difference. In fact, some of the fragrances have become mass market and common. With growing awareness amongst Indian consumers, the scope of aqua smell perfume has substantially widened. Today there are multiple options available for aqua perfume for men and aqua perfume for women.
Why choose Aqua Perfume?
Aqua Perfumes are like those white shirts/ top that every person must have in the wardrobe. Their appeal is universal. You may find some people who hate strong fragrances or some people who feel, for e.g. Oud is very woody. But you will never find anyone who ‘hates’ Aqua Perfume. Such is their universality.
Features of Aqua Perfumes
Refreshing and Stimulating
The best aqua perfume for men and women makes the user feel refreshed, relaxed and confident. When we speak about Aqua Perfume or Marine Perfume, our mind associates it with the Beach, Sea or the Ocean. These further lead us to think about vacation, travel and leisure. This association is triggered instantly when you spray Aqua Perfume, and it invariably puts you in a great frame of mind.
High Intensity, Low Tenacity
An Aqua Fragrance belongs to the Fresh Fragrance Family which also includes ingredients like Citrus, Mandarin etc. The characteristics of ingredients in the Fresh Fragrance Family is that they are high on intensity – they project well when applied. But they have low tenacity – they evaporate faster from the skin. Hence, an Aqua Fragrance is often used as a top note. And in the middle note. But never as the base note.
Always a dominant scent - often paired with Citrusy ingredients
An Aqua fragrance is invariably centered around Aqua notes, and hence it's always Fresh Perfume. An Aqua scent is always a dominant scent in the whole bouquet. You won’t find it supporting any other fragrance family like Aromatic Fougere or Gourmand Fragrances. Aqua scent pairs very well with Citrusy ingredients, making a smashing top note.
Different Types of Aqua Perfumes Available
Formulating a differentiated and classy Aqua Perfume beckons skill and knowledge. The key to good Aqua Perfume is how it paired with middle notes and base notes. Let’s try to break it down in terms of notes and accords that go well with Aqua Scents
Aqua Perfume for Men
When it comes to Aqua Perfume for men, the following fragrance families are combined.
Citrus and Woody Notes
Aqua perfume’s appeal lies in the fact that they are refreshing. In order to round off the refreshing and projection aspect of this scent, perfumers often combine it with Citrusy scents like Lime, Mandarin etc. And given the fact that both Aqua and Citrus are Top notes, the scent bouquet is often balanced with Woody notes to make the lasting better.
Aromatic Fougere
Fougere is a historical accord the combines the Lavendar Note , Coumarin and Oakmoss to mimic the scent of fern. Imagine the scent of freshly cut green grass. Since then, it has been the best party perfume for Men. With addition of Aqua notes, this masculine fragrance can get men noticed due to its powerful yet pleasing and refreshing trail.
White Floral Notes
An evolving trend in Men’s Aqua Perfume is a variation with refreshing, energetic scents white floral notes like Jasmine, Neroli, Orange blossom. White Florals add intensity and a little bit sweetness to the citrusy, tarty, and tangy notes. This combination induces an energetic feeling and creates a refreshed frame of mind.
Aqua Perfume for Women
Aqua with Floral Scents
The diversity of Aqua Perfumes for women is far lesser than Men. Aqua Perfumes are perceived as Men’s Perfume. Of late, there is a rising trend of Unisex Fragrances and in it, there are some nice versions of Aqua scents available. The fewer Aqua Perfumes for women that are available in the market, pair Aqua Scents with Light and Airy Floral Scents like Ylang Ylang & Mimosa
Unisex Aqua Perfume Options
The increasing trend of couples using the same perfume has led to a new liking being developed amongst women towards Aqua smell perfume. The current version of Aqua Perfumes in the market evolves around the combination of Aqua scent with White Florals and/ or Green Notes
