Victor Wong – about future plans and snow leopards

The year 2013 gave us Aqua Botanique. A masculine fragrance from the fern and aromatic families. Perfumer Armando Alonzo is the author behind this composition. An eau de toilette — light-footed, but utterly unforgettable.
Behind this fragrance stands the Philippines and its rich perfumery heritage. Aqua Botanique unfolds gradually, effortlessly, and with great refinement — a perfect choice for day or evening.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a fresh scent that is not too intense, so it does not overwhelm those around you with strong essences
A light and elegant fragrance with harmonious richness—the perfect balance between the depth of eau de parfum and the freshness of cologne
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The olfactory structure of Aqua evolves as a cohesive olfactory arc, where layers reveal themselves smoothly and sequentially. The style of Botanique is recognizable in the way notes appear and fade. Nothing here feels random, and the fragrance holds its character from opening to trail. Eau de toilette keeps the depth and body this composition needs.
From the group perspective the structure relies on Green, Aquatic, Aromatic and Spicy. The palette also extends to Floral, Wood and Musk. At family level the scent maps to Aromatic and Fern.
From the first breath you catch aromatic herbal opening notes: Lavender, Marine accord, Mint and Rosemary.
In the heart you sense Coriander, Geranium and Neroli holding a velvety rose-iris direction.
The olfactory framework is built around these accords: Aromatic, Floral, Musc and Wood forming a compact and readable structure. Additional accords such as Spicy and Marine add depth to the backdrop. The stylistic positioning is masculine, which sharpens how the fragrance is perceived.
Taken together Aqua holds a coherent structure — the opening sets direction, the heart develops the core line, and the final phase leaves a stable imprint. This is the type of composition best judged through real development.
