How long it lasts
Expect about 3 to 6 hours on skin, which is about average for a perfume. As an Eau de Toilette, it is lighter than an Eau de Parfum, so it fades sooner. Chanel Pour Monsieur and Dolce&Gabbana pour Homme 1994 last longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like Virginia cedar and woody notes are the part that stays longest on the skin.
What Aqua costs
In Europe it costs about €13, depending on the bottle size and the shop. That makes it one of the more affordable picks. It costs less than Clive Christian 1872 and Yves Saint Laurent Libre Yves Saint Laurent.
