The 10 BEST Aquatic Fragrances EVER - Best Summer Colognes 2023

[@tool4132]

I don't care if this gets any hate, Paris Hilton for Men is awesome. Sweet mango, watery cucumber, a nice airiness, and green tinges make this one of my favorite high heat frags. I unashamedly love it.

[@ernestoalejandroespin8801]

No hate..much love 😊

[@brandonvandonge1854]

100 percent agree

[@Lewis94w]

Based take

[@jonsmith9728]

definitely agree, mambo mix is also a great cheapy for the some with more of a lime twist

[@ELOQUENTVESSEL]

Had a bottle ever since it came out. Paris Hilton Just Me is a solid, cheap Acqua Di Gio alternative. Paris Hilton Gold Rush is in a similar scent family to One Million. No one would think of Paris Hilton to have solid men's line. Not going to win any performance awards, but affordable and pleasant scent for sure.

[@Fresh_Indeed]

Profondo is top dog for me. Not gonna lie I slept on it for a long time but finallly decided to buy it in Janurary and boy I do not regret it! It's the perfect Aquatic in my opinion and by far my favorite of the many I've had over the years.

[@Seasniffer69]

You might now with a reformulation for 2024. Ingredients changed

[@kevino73]

Now we have to get a review of Kenzo Homme EdP, no? 😉

[@TheChiro2000]

Yeah basically 😅

[@luzzy8529]

im pretty sure its discontinued

[@jamesbigica-b5m]

not worth to be on this list

[@martifilipponi1024]

I like Versace, man fresh for summer because you can wear it day or night and to the gym . I tried wearing pour homme but I felt doushy like I should have been in a club.. And for the polos I still love Ultra Blue the best it has that mineral salty air scent. I think Dylan blue can come off a little strong.. I love spraying it at night after a shower it smells the best in the morning . When I had it I hardly ever wore it out.. it needs time to air, like ombre leather, and Luna Rosa Black .. after that, Fabulous!

[@wisam5053]

woaaaaaah, that upgrade on the studio is insane that is the cleanest looking set up for a frag reviewer ive ever seen

[@JulianoGSF]

Bvlgari Aqva Altantiqve is the bomb!

[@michaelbullock8011]

Great video with some great choices in there and I enjoyed it and have a blessed day

[@Narcissist_Police]

Not an aquatic, but Amouage Beach Hut Man. Definitely a solid spring summer scent. But not in the high heat, I’m talking to you Arizona!

[@MuddyGreenMonster]

I recently sold most of my collection, only keeping my top 100 faves, but no aquatics made the cut. The closest I have left is AdP's Fico di Amalfi.

[@justinboyer5449]

I know its redundant in the fragrance community, but BDC EDP should also be on the list. The only scent I've worn in all 4 seasons and received a compliant...especially at the beach....

[@danparry834]

I do like the scent but wish it projected a bit more!

[@njmtrumpet]

The up in video quality is great to see Mr. Ash. I remember vids from back in 2018 and you’ve come a long way🙏 keep up the great vids g🔥

[@rdavkid]

Finally someone is talking about Ocean Noire!!!! Thank you

[@zachbartz2646]

For a beach/oceanic frag, my go to is BDK Sel D'Argent. When I put it on i immediately get that "at the beach by the ocean wearing sunscreen" vibe to it. May just be me, but i absolutely love that scent for warm summer days

[@Blazntrax81]

Light Blue Eau Intense for the win!

[@curtchaffee]

I just picked up Polo Deep Blue Parfum and it was better than I expected. Not ground breaking. Kind of a blend of Profundo and Allure Homme Sport. Nothing natural smelling, though. Gotta go with Bvlgari Aqva Marine as the most natural smelling aquatic in the designer realm. I live 1/2 mile from the ocean and Marine smells just like a walk along the ocean in Northern California.

[@CraftyLemons]

The og bvlgari aqua is one of my faves, do u think the marine is better?

[@curtchaffee]

@@CraftyLemons maybe not better, but more authentic ocean vibe

[@Ajibolaa]

Ash time for Kenzo review on gents extra ❤❤ also props on the new graphics and studio. Love it. Also love that you kept the old style for use with gents scents xtra.

[@johnkhem2084]

[@danparry834]

I’m so pleased to see Versace Pour Homme! I’m wearing it now, love the stuff! Lasts quite a while too.

[@jubacenasemcenas]

another great selection. I am loving to see this new videos with a new flare in your content !!!

[@adriangaxiola8133]

Cool video. The list was great and I appreciate all of the honorable mentions that didn't make it on the top list.

[@justnashpa]

For me personally i like the next 5 : armani code sport athlete, aqua amara,invictus aqua 2016, aqua di gio essenza and light blue eau intense...i could add aqua de gio eau de toilette vintage and megamare, that should be more then enough 😅

[@oktyno]

hey Ash, thanks for another great vid! new place is cool, but lacks vibe/some coziness. I'd add some greenies behind and maybe tweak the light to warmer colors so it harmonizes more with the wood

[@davidmorrison5186]

The bvlgari aqua pour homme for sure!!! Automatic water vibes instantly.

[@rd5469]

Yeah after Kenzo Homme EDP is hard for me to buy because the EDT intense was so gross. I can’t even give that one away.

[@Blazntrax81]

Same. It's forgettable AF.

[@michaellee8815]

Forgive my newness to the fragrance game.. but how is something (Kenzo) that’s “Smokey, leathery, and earthy” considered ‘Aquatic’???

[@mirwais6389]

To me it smells like mint

[@111Jeffrey]

Versace Pour Homme is mainly liked because it's cheap!!! But not only is it super weak and generic,the woman at didn't liked it and I hated it,and was glad that it was only a sample and I didn't waste my money on it! Light Blue Eau Intense is still one the best Aquatics ever made!

[@nxd010]

Hi Ash, thought your studio was in the basement, not in the attic 😬😬😬 thanks for the video and have a nice day from The Netherlands 🙂🙂🙂

[@jimlittle5769]

I own zero bottle of the mentioned fragrance. I have a travel size of Ocean Noir, that's as close as I get.

[@georgisemerdzhiev6565]

Aqva Atlantiqve is pretty nice too. It's a shame it's duscontinued.

[@TheIndyguy2000]

EROLFA is one of my favorites of aquatics.

[@Blazntrax81]

Ash, Afternoon Swim is spectacular. It's just expensive AF. Performance is abysmal.

[@goat8162]

That Polo Deep Blue pic you have in the thumbnail and the one in the video is the Polo Deep Blue Collector's Edition I believe. That hasn't been released yet. Which brings me to my question of when does it release?

[@slikjmuzik]

I couldn’t stand my Kenzo EDP when I first got it. Too unique and I couldn’t figure out where to wear without turning heads for the wrong reasons. Couple months later and it has macerated. I’m wearing 2 sprays in the chest with a layer of a clone of Allure Homme Sport by Vocal Fragrances in my normal places places. The Kenzo will be used more for sure now.

[@WMW-82]

Can't say I've ever sniffed a seahorse, so couldn't tell you how realistic it is I'm afraid. Does it smell like a Soggy Otters Pocket?

[@SmellsAddicted]

Thanks, Ash, for letting us vote on current 😉 aquatic fragrances. Sometimes, people drown 😉 in so many choices and need fragrance lifeguards 😉 to help them. I'm also glad to see (sea?) many haters who foam 😉 at the mouth and get salty 😉 with their comments 😂

[@SmellsAddicted]

Also, of course driftwood counts as aquatic. What do you think it drifts on? Air? 😂

[@ZyzzUchiha]

Have you done a review on Megamare?

[@TheFragranceDecantBoutique]

[@blackcatchat]

Have you ever tried and would you consider doing a review on Abyssis from Liquides Imaginaires? I’m not really an aquatic scent person usually, but I got a sample of this one and there is something strangely compelling about it. I’m not even sure if i like it, but i keep getting an urge to wear it and keep sniffing it on myself.

[@ilyasbhatt9951]

[@tylerseto]

Why does no one like to admit that Dylan blue is a 10/10 masterpiece?

[@ProudGirlDadX2]

1,000,000,000% and I for one am sick of it! I say we riot and pillage until Dylan Blue gets recognized with ADG/Bleu de Chanel/Rojas Elysium/Polo Deep Blue Parfum/Dior Savauge and whatever other historically great blue cologne I might have missed. One of the frag communities dirtiest little secrets is that Bleu de Chanel, as pleasant as it is, is not the attention grabbing/compliment pulling fragrance that many claim it to be. It's pleasant and inoffensive but that's about it. I use a combination of Dylan Blue and JPG Le Beau for summertime events and occasions and I've gotten more praise in one day than BDC has ever gotten me. Just my experience.

[@squidikka]

Probably because in order for someone to admit something, it would have to be true.

Blue scents are like buying white socks. Even though the brand name is different they are mostly still the same. Maybe at little difference in quality or comfort but at the end of the day, look the same and smell the same. You can make them fresher, add more citrus and more woods, add more whatever. EDT, EDP, oh look more flavored water. Lol, it's like making your white socks whiter. They are all so similar no one but a person with a sock fetish notices or cares. Buy two or three quality brands and you have this entire scent spectrum covered.
