Aqua Manda was a fragrance that only seems to have been around in the 70's. It smelled of neroli (orange blossom) and had some swirly William Morris type design on the top of the stopper.

I loved the bottle and the smell, late nights listening to Fab 208 on my Murphy radio. Those were the days. I can smell it now.

Oh gosh! How I LOVED that perfume. Even now I can smell its heady fragrance. I have a recipe for a knock-off somewhere. I remember buying it when I was a teen and somehow it just formed an aura around my happy and carefree teen years. I loved the green one too (whatever it was called) but NOTHING has ever come close to Aqua Manda.

I just brought some old copies of 70's Vogue on ebay and the Christmas 1975 edition has a full back page ad for Aqua Manda,what a trip down memory lane,from just seeing the pictures I could smell the fragrance and it took me straight back to my teens. Tina, the mag is surplus to requirements if you would be interested let me know here amd i'll arrange something.

Aqua Manda and the Radio Luxembourg Ads are linked in my mind forever. I loved the bottle top, brown with an embossed design of an orange branch. Happy memories of my teen years getting ready to go out to a disco & drink BabyCham!

My friend has just bought me a bottle of Yves Rocher perfume called Voile d'ambre which brought back instant memories of Aqua Manda (although it took me longer to remember the name!) brings back memories of teenage visits to perfume counters and sneaking in at lunchtimes to get a crafty squirt!

I loved Aqua Manda but my favourite cheapo (as in affordable) perfume from the 70s was "Madame R", one of the series of 'Replica' perfumes. Does anyone remember this or know anything that smells like it now (or Acqua Manda)?

Sitting in the back garden with my friend Joyce squirting lemon juice on our hair so that the sun could bleach it! EVERYONE smelled of Aqua Manda!!!

My sister will be 50 in June and I'm trying to trace down anything to do with Aqua Manda. Anyone got an old bottle, or advertising blurb? Probably a long shot... If you have, let me know in these comments box and I'll sort out trying to get in touch.

Every one who wanted to be cool had Aqua Manda. But you were even cooler if you were the first one to have Aqua Citra. Anyone remember it. Thanks for the info simone I have bottles from both. I'm going to sell them asap.
