A very valuable, persistent and sensual fragrance!

I thought I would write something about this beautiful fragrance here too.
Unfortunately, I can't understand why people give the Elements Aqua Eau de Toilette bad rating points!
For inexperienced noses, the fragrance is somewhat sensual and challenging at first, yes
I would even say that you should spend some time with it! Get to know him.

The first smell on the test strip immediately after spraying it on and then evaluating it straight away makes no sense.

This fragrance must be applied to the skin! You have to give it some time to unfold.

It starts out very citrusy and strongly synthetic, but then the mask of vetiver falls away and you have a really high-quality and ingenious fragrance round about!
Definitely one of my favorites - precisely because not everyone has it.

I had the privilege of acquiring a copy from a market in the Netherlands, new and in its original packaging. Original, of course

Fragrance definitely 10
Shelf life: 7
Sillage: 8
Flacon: 10, very well made
Price: unfortunately now very expensive, therefore 2

Nice sandalwood gem

Boss Elements Aqua is a surprisingly nice scent, really modern for its era and really quality for being a Boss. It opens with a remarkably balanced and intriguing blend of watery-green notes perfectly interacting with sweet notes of sandalwood and vanilla, something balmy-piney (a bit like fir balsam, just less sticky and more minty), a subtle old-school bone accord of lavender and vetiver connecting Aqua to many crisp and fresh fougères, and something smelling leathery or more decidedly “woody (probably patchouli, dark pepper and woods give me that feeling). I also get cedar and something fruity. It may sound as a screechy scent, it’s not at all: it’s really enjoyable, fresh, mannered and sweet in a classy, “virile” way, played on sandalwood and green-woody notes rather than plain fruity or “sea” aromachemicals. It has something conveying the idea of “water”, and I appreciate it is a result of a clever combination of notes. I mean – you get the notes, and they’re juxtaposed in a way they *also* end in up in creating some “watery” feel. Which is brilliant for me, and I guess it is how perfumes are supposed to be composed. As regards of the fruitiness, it’s Chanel Egoiste’s kind of fruity-woody sweetness, to give you an idea – nothing juvenile or sickening. And in fact I think Aqua shares quite something with Egoiste anyway, as it seems clearly based on sandalwood as “central” note – some real, nice, smooth sandalwood, perfectly connecting with other notes enhancing its facets. Finally what strikes me the most is the final result: Aqua smells quite rich, refined, complex and natural, at the opposite of many other Boss fragrances which to me always smelled a bit cheap and tacky. A bit linear, but really well made with really nice materials for me. Nothing to go mad for, but a nice gem among their range.

7-7,5/10
