Aqva Amara is a highly divisive fragrance with strong admirers and detractors. Those who enjoy it praise its unique composition, excellent performance, and suitability for hot weather, often receiving compliments; however, many find the bitter orange and aquatic blend off-putting, describing it as harsh, synthetic, or smelling like rotten/dirty oranges. Its discontinuation has made it difficult to obtain at reasonable prices.
