Acceptable, likeable, and perfectly serviceable aquatic fragrance. I suppose you could say this of any line but do BVLGARI really need to keep producing these AQVA flankers? I think they do it because this is a particularly iconic and cool bottle although that might be slightly cynical and to be fair there's far worse offenders to pick on. This has the seaweed and saltiness of the AQVA's with some modernity thrown into the mix to make a mildly derivative, 'blue' scent. I have to say the deepness of this particular hue is very nice (yes I'm not being figurative, literally the colour of the bottle). Not to mention, I'm the first to complain when flankers go too far off the reservation (see AQVA Amara) but when they are flogging a dead horse with this Ocean accord, I start to question why? In my opinion the original AQVA and the Marine one are excellent and among some of the best aquatics ever made, these flankers are the difficult albums following a seminal one. So I'm just saying give up BVLGARI? Well no but I'm sure there's new avenues to explore that's all. Just a thought....If BVLGARI do release more flankers and insist on retaining the sea vibe can I pitch a dark, brooding version, still salty and aquatic notes but really heavy woods or incense or something? The bottle fades from deep navy to virtually black and call it BVLGARI AQVA ABYSS (TM) (I want credit for this if there's any BVLGARI creatives prepared to nick this idea)
