What does Aqua Celestia Cologne Forte smell like?

Calabrian bergamot and fruity notes give it a bright start, while blackcurrant bud adds a green edge to that freshness. French mimosa absolute and Egyptian jasmine absolute carry the floral side, and musk keeps it soft and clean underneath.

Longevity and sillage are moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin. Most voters pick summer and spring, and daily wear, leisure and business are the occasions chosen most often. Votes for masculine and feminine are nearly even, so it sits comfortably on either side. Maison Francis Kurkdjian Aqua Media Cologne Forte and Yves Rocher Naturelle have a close profile.
