“Between this and Chrome Aqua, nothing fails to get me more compliments during the summer months. Whenever I spray this, I just think "man do I smell great"! I can't think of two better aquatics. Masculine to be certain, these are not for the feminine.I definitely pick up the seawead but in a strangely pleasant way. Above average sillage and longevity. Great projection for the the first hour or two. Daily or to office. Not much more to say than has already been said, other than this is a great men's fragrance.”
“i bought myself a 2021 batch on a whim. kinda a bit sad coz it's no longer the same as my 2008 batch.the 2021 version seems to be a toned down version compared to 2008 version. i think the 2021 version is 80% close to the 2008 version. the 2021 version still gives you the citrus opening, the seaweed middle note and the powdery amber base note but the saltiness “aura” is nowhere to be found. the sillage & longevity is slashed by half compared to the 2008 version.i think the 2021 version is still ok on its own but it’s a pale shadow of its former self.”
“My Perry Ellis 360 red latest batch doesn't smell like acqua di gio instead smell like Bvlgari AQVA Pour Homme. I've got the vintage Perry Ellis to compare side by side with the new one i got it last week they don't smell the same. Hope someone can share their experience on their latest batch Perry 360 Red , did they smell like Bvlgari AQVA Pour Homme?”

Longevity
Moderate to Strong
Sillage
The clone exhibits good overall structural fidelity but may show reduced longevity and sillage compared to the original. The seaweed's oceanic salinity and the interplay between cedar and patchouli tend to be less pronounced, resulting in a somewhat more linear and less dimensional fragrance experience.

Sillage
The clone performs adequately in the top and heart notes but the base feels flatter and less nuanced, with reduced sillage and longevity compared to the original. The seaweed note, which gives Aqva its distinctive character, reads less pronounced in the clone.
