Whenever I wear this I relish it and wonder why I don't find this short and squat bottle more often. Antonio Puig launched Agua Brava Eau de Cologne masculine fragrance in 1968 in collaboration with perfumers Marcel Carles and Rosendo Mateu.

This stuff is really exciting, only to find the bottle gives me the impression of being in possession of a potion or a wizard alchemist .It's amazing the way juices used to smell and even if the bottle has been dry for donkeys, I can still get a very strong whiff of pine and oakmoss. Since its launch in 1968, Agua Brava has been an ambassador of Spanish perfumes over the world thanks to the personality of its fragrance, the design of the bottle and its bond with the sea. Honestly, every time I holiday there I fall in love with four or five masculines for their complexity and unashamed take on what male perfumery should be. And I love Pino silvestre and this stink is nothing like beautiful Pino, so why it is similar to some people?

This cologne has top notes of bergamot, thyme and sandlewood followed by base notes of lavender, clove, fresh pine, sage and musk for a sensual and masculine fragrance inspired by the Mediterranean. As the citrus dies down over about 10-15 minutes it becomes much more herbal; the thyme and bay leaf definitely are the strongest. It smells quite loud and spicy perhaps unbearable to many and its totally a masculine perfume and no woman can dare to wear it.

The only downside is its projection and longevity, which must be compensated with over 10 spritz and frequent re-applications.I get a little bit of something like Floris Elite and something else that I cant place my finger on. Nota bene: all the ones I mentioned used to have the characteristic drydown of blends with oakmoss and other IFRA banned ingredients.
