guys check out the description so let's get into the new 2020 release colonia futura if you've seen
one of the fragrances from aqua department you've seen them all they all have this cylindrical
kind of a bottle you know the cylindrical cap the sprayers are actually pretty good
very nice and broad mist one of the best i compare them to each celeron or dior i think they have
that high quality and and refined uh sprayers this is a brand from italy and what they try to do
it smells so good they try to capture the amalfi coast so elements that are citrus
that are fruity that are invigorating uplifting that will give you that mediterranean slash
tropical vibe into their fragrances they started with the classic traditional fragrance that many
successful many celebrities chose to be their signature scent which is the colonia here from
1916 so it's been around for over a hundred years and of course guys if you want to see
a full-fledged you know conversational equity apartment i'm gonna have it linked up here i did a
good bad ugly underrated and the whole collection of course there has been some new additions to the
brand and perhaps i will do a 2.0 for you guys let me know in the comments and then the like
if you guys want to see a version 2.0 of the aqua department good batman ugly but the original
1916 which is the og here it's actually a very simple if you will dna reminds me of
you know neroli portofino from tom ford which this was the fragrance that inspired tom ford
in creating tom ford and roli potofino which is a beautiful citrus slash floral fragrance you have
froze you have jasmine you have a whole bunch of you know citruses up top collaborating bergamots
um sicilian mandarins lemons amalfi lemons so it is a timeless classic one that i love to wear
you can dress this up you can dress this down it is going to be very classic very traditional very
elegant and sophisticated old world class right here the only thing about this one it doesn't have
a very lasting power hence the fact that in 2003 two great noses master perfumers francois de machi
and and bertrand du chauffeur got together to create this particular fragrance here colonia
soluta which took the original dna and amped it up with resins with patchouli it made it
more long-lasting for one and it also intensified the citruses with the patchouli very big and bold
vetiver in here and some oak moss as well so it's a lot more long-lasting and a lot spicier compared
to the original so if you wanted the same dna the same profile but you wanted something a little
bit stronger you would go with assaluta from 2003. now we passed forward to 2007 things changed once
again with the introduction of intense colonial intensive which is the one that i wore the most i
love this stuff always makes my top you know work scent uh you know if i'm going out to a an event
that i need to dress up a little more but it's in the summer or springtime this is definitely one of
my go-to's now what happened with the intensa now this is now francois de machi along with alberto
marias which now what they did here not only did they make the fragrance more intense as or with
the name colonia intense but they also added a beautiful note of leather you guys know how much i
love the leather now the leather here is not going to be a skanky rough and tumble kind of a leather
any more of a suede leather um effect that you'll get here more for support of the composition
but it is outstanding guys this is definitely my favorite from the bunch you know before this one
of course we're going to talk about this one in a second it just has this gorgeous cardamom myrrh
leather trifecta that really gave the scent character and strength which i like even more
than the the original or the absolute but even furthermore to make things even darker we go to
2010 with the introduction of etsenza now this one here is perhaps the spicer or darker of all
of them perhaps the reason why you have the dark bottle i believe i'm not mistaken this is the only
composition from the collection that has the black bottle with the white label and this is a powerful
powerful fragrance i mean it packs up a punch what i get here is a very oaky vetiver kind of a
you know ground which is really hair chested when you think of fragrance like draconoir you know
powerhouse fragrances of the 80s it's kind of like what they did here they were bringing forth uh
this particular genre in this fragrance also again keeping that citrus floral you know component with
some amber in this one right here and i think it also has some incense so it really darkened
things up with with that patchouli and instance combination kind of like what aqua digio try to
do with aqua juju profumo the main take here for a sense of this is going to be the darker slash
most musky composition there's musk there is cloves of course there's rose jasmine there's
going to be the floral component that's going to follow the whole colonial genre but it's
definitely the darker and spicer of them all so if you like that kind of composition but you wanted
something darker longer lasting you would go for this one next up we have a 2015 release which is
this one right here colonia club which now it's kind of like mainstream if you will they're
they're kind of going into the blue genre slash aqua the geo that's what we're they were capturing
this one here it's the only green bottle which is really cool and what i love about this one
is by then 2015 there was a huge surge of mint in fragrances a lot of mainstream companies were
doing a blast of mint up top and that's what you get here which you didn't have with the other ones
if you want something really uplifting for the heavy summer heavy heat tropical countries this
stuff here is an amazing fragrance continued with that colonial genre but added this blue slash
minty facet to the fragrance so this is the most blue of them all which also i would compare this
like a blue day chanel vibe but with more mint so this is like if you like blue the chanel this is
like blue the chanel goes mint it's a very minty blue chanel kind of a vibe that i got with this
one needless to say a really good one i have a full review on this one when it first came
out if you want to go check it out the link's going to be right up here then in 2017 we have
the you know second to last release which is colonia poor which is another one that
i actually wore a lot as well always makes my top spring summer top lists because it is just a great
floral masculine scent now what they did it kept the dna of the original 1916
16 you know colonia but they infused it this is so good the oranges here the mandarin citruses up
top with the oranges it's just mouthwatering very realistic very natural orange feel here
there is jasmine there's narcissus flowers so there's a floral component that i talked about
very citrus very invigorating uplifting amazing fragrance now let's talk about the original 2020
futura newest release just hit shelves comes in this beautiful you know cylindrical box
here like i said you've seen one you've seen them all with the green label now what do we get from
futura guys it's actually my scent of the day today because what they did here is they took
they researched with the fujier kind of a vibe there is an oak moss lavender combination here
in vetiver that is just unbelievable another thing too i'm going to tell you about this one is that
it is extremely long lasting if you're not into you know old school barbershop fujiera lavender
oakmoss whatever fragrances then look away stay away you're not gonna like this one for two
reasons number one it's gonna have the old world old school type of vibe and it's also gonna be
very powerful long-lasting this is something that i was blown away for a new 2020 release to be as
long-lasting but the thing is about this one is that it's a very realistic and natural smell and
this is something that aqua department is really um priding themselves with this composition is
that they're saying it's the most sustainable when it comes to the ingredients fragrance that they've
put out so far it's really with the green with the you know environment you know staying sustainable
with the ingredients that's been used here to be natural to be very well sourced so there's a
whole gamut of things that that went into this fragrance which again i'll have the link below
from aqua department themselves if you want to learn more about how this was constructed you can
but it is the most naturally slash sustainable fragrance that they put out up to this point
but talking about the scent itself it is my scent of the day i love the opening here
it's very citrus very natural smell you have neroli you have the amalfi lemons the calabrian
bergamots it's mouth-watering good it's like a juice freshly squeezed fruits you know that's
what i get up top then as the fragrance gets into like the 10 15 mark you're gonna get this nice
herbal nuance that's gonna come forth with sage you know the clary sage that's in here as well as
the lavender so that's when it really becomes a barbershop field type of ascent and then as
the fragrance progresses i get a little bit of a woodiness from a vetiver earthiness with the oak
moss adds this really green blast to the fragrance like it's really green and really earthy and mossy
and that lavender will stay here throughout the fragrance which makes it very aromatic
and very elegant if you will i love what they did here which is really getting these natural very
realistic citrus components but also having this you know very traditional and timeless element
with this fragrance like they took this combine it with fujair fragrances and added these really
natural smelling fragrance that's true to their to their essence like if you look at the note
breakdown that's exactly how it's going to smell which i think they did a fantastic job transposing
those elements into the scent fantastically blended so it'll start like i said very fruity
sparkly very fizzy the heart of this fragrance is going to be quite herbal but you also have a
you know a spicy component here with red pepper in the dried down it's going to be that combination
of the lavender which is now a little bit powdery along with the earthy vetiver and the green oak
moss so i love those kind of fragrances they're up my alley it's one of my favorite you know genres
and perfumery i love the oak moss barbershop feel with the lavender so this is something
that i really gravitate towards something that i would really be wearing over the next
few years especially when it comes to dressier occasions during the daytime i think this when it
comes to settings occasions who should wear this i think this is more masculine definitely more
mature unless you have a taste or hankering for this type of a sand you know the fujier barbershop
slide uh fragrances you're gonna like this i think this is more of a day wear you can dress this
up you can dress this down i think it has a more elegant sophisticated vibe to it so i like to wear
at least a shirt like this or a jacket or a suit i think this is perfectly well for those occasions
when you really want to convey a boss like vibe or someone who's in control is not afraid to
go off the beaten path a little bit because i think this classic genre is kind of dying you
have a lot of blue and brocks and tonka overly sweet fragrances this is the opposite of that so
if you're not afraid of showing that you know old world you know elegance i think this is
going to be a great one for you definitely more masculine they wear and i think definitely great
for spring and summer but it is very versatile i have to say you can't pull this off all year round
if it's colder out go heavier on the sprayer if it's you know warmer out you can go three to four
sprays and it's gonna last all day believe me you know i had this on this whole past week and the
dried down like i said it's not going to push as much performance was actually eight plus hours so
for a fresh quite good performance uh longevity like i said eight plus projects for like one and
a half two hours very strongly and it leaves a very good central and slash siege especially if
you spray your clothes in this area here or in your arms as you walk around people will notice
you for sure i didn't get massive compliments but you know the most you know notices i guys
people say hey you smell really clean today you smell really fresh i like what you have on kind
of like that but nothing like hey what are you wearing today because it's not going to be a
groundbreaking trendsetter i mean it's been done massively before this genre but i think the main
state here is going to be that vetiver embellished by the lavender the herbal nuances with that
lavender just beautifully done here so if you want something that's you know kind of old school but
a little modernized with that pink pepper definitely check this out it is good like i said
not ground breaking not trend center but i think a good release for 20 20. one of my favorites i i
especially because i didn't get much performance with this one and this one here gives me eight
plus this is like four to five hours so i'm really loving this one so guys let me know your comments
