By JJ Foster - 12/20/21

All fragrances emanate a certain aroma, whether it’s spring in full bloom or the fresh squeeze of citrus. But there is one cologne category that doesn’t get the attention it deserves - aquatic scents!

An aquatic cologne splashed with water — Aquatic Cologne – Three of the Best Options on the Market

People are often confused about aquatic fragrances because they don’t believe water has a smell. But the purpose of these colognes isn’t to exude the scent of tap water. It’s about a powerful sensory experience that reminds them of the sea, a lake, or summer rainfall.

Here are three of the finest and more sought aquatic colognes on the market:

1. Acqua Di Gio - The Cologne That Passed the Test of Time

Giorgio Armani’s Acqua di Gio is considered by many to be the quintessential aquatic fragrance. Created by the renowned Spanish perfumer Albero Morillas and launched in 1996, this cologne has become a signature scent for many men around the world. It has a light formula that opens with a citrus medley before transitioning to the completion of Cyprus and musk notes.

2. Baie 19 - A New Combination Every Time

Baie 19 by Le Labo isn’t a universal pick because its ozonic petrichor freshness isn’t for everyone. But, it’s a highly distinguishable perfume, which many use as their stable scent. It features ingredients such as musk, patchouli, and petrichor that combine in different ways with each spray.

3. Allure Homme Sport - Can’t Go Wrong With Chanel

Walk into any duty-free airport around the world and there will always see at least one man taking a huff at Chanel’s Allure Homme Sport. Its fragrance is a combination of sea essence and aldehydes, along with pepper, vetiver, vanilla, musk, and mandarin. Some find this cologne to be spicy, while others see it as a boost of freshness, but one thing is certain, that Chanel is always a great choice.

These are only three of the many aquatic colognes that are available on the market, and each fragrance is a strong reminder of summer, the sea, and good times.
