Intriguing notes... the few that are listed. I look forward to this one hitting the shelves.
Well from looking at this fragrance and it's notes, prior to trying it I thought it would be a case of introducing a flanker that is completely different to the original and other subsequent flankers. Sure Amara starts out with citrus and has a bitter orange note in there too with the clean slightly soapy texture of white floral neroli most of which is different to the original and it's DNA. Having said this Amara is very reminiscent of the original and certainly Aqva marine to my nose and frankly I was expecting this to be vastly different from them I think it's clever that it retains the very sea like salty accord of Aqva and even the main body of it's character despite the subtle twist. I for one welcome that as if it had have gone whole heartedly into white floral territory I may not have liked it...but I definitely do! This fragrance is just as popular with me as the other Aqvas and maybe even surpasses them? I will have to give this further testing but it's a very well done indeed and welcome addition to the Aqva family.
