Maison Francis Kurkdjian’s Aqua Celestia Cologne forte is a radiant Eau de Parfum designed to evoke feelings of clarity and light, inviting the wearer on a journey toward the horizon. This fragrance is part of the esteemed Cologne forte collection, which reinterprets the classic freshness of cologne with enhanced longevity and depth typical of an EDP. It captures the serene connection between the blue of the sky and the blue of the sea, offering an intensely luminous and airy olfactory experience suitable for year-round enjoyment.
The composition opens with an immediate burst of freshness, primarily driven by sparkling bergamot, which is quickly complemented by the juicy, fruity accents of blackcurrant. The heart of the fragrance features the delicate floral complexity of mimosa and jasmine. The mimosa, often sourced from Southern France, is extracted to yield a comforting, sunny scent profile rich with almond, floral, and subtly spicy facets, lending a unique warmth and complexity to the core.
As a Cologne forte, this formulation offers the invigorating sensation of a traditional cologne but with the enduring power of an Eau de Parfum. The initial bright notes transition smoothly, anchored by a clean, smooth musky undertone. This base ensures that the luminous top and heart notes are sustained for impressive wearability throughout the day, distinguishing it from fleeting traditional citrus scents.
Aqua Celestia is ideally suited for daytime wear, professional settings, or any moment requiring a clear, uplifting, and subtly elegant signature scent. Applied via the convenient spray formulation in a 2.4 fl oz volume, it provides a sophisticated yet accessible freshness that enhances personal presence without overpowering.
