Maison Francis Kurkdjian Aqua Celestia

Mostly like crushed leaves and cut grass, sharp with a bitter edge. Underneath that, bright and zesty, like fresh orange or lemon peel.

It opens on lime, mint and black currant, moves through green notes, mimosa and rose, and settles on white musk.

• lime: sharp green citrus, more bitter and less sweet than lemon
• mint: cool and sharp, with a cleansing bite

It lasts an average amount of time and sits close to the skin after the first hour.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
