Maison Francis Kurkdjian Aqua Celestia Cologne Forte

Mostly juicy and ripe, like peach, berry or apple. Underneath that, bright and zesty, like fresh orange or lemon peel.

It opens on black currant and bergamot, moves through mimosa and jasmine, and settles on musk.

• black currant: tart purple fruit with a green, faintly sulphurous edge. Often labelled cassis
• bergamot: bright citrus peel, sharper and greener than orange. The note that makes Earl Grey tea smell the way it does

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.
