About Aqua Vitae
Aqua Vitae Perfume by Maison Francis Kurkdjian was launched in 2013, offering a tribute to the warmth of a sun-drenched landscape. This unisex perfume is a pink cherry blossom that brings into the house the most dried and fragrant cherry leaves, and the smell of light and sun brings it into the life room. It is a blooming homage to the most glittering sides of the summer.
Fragrance Family:
Citrus
Scent Type:
Fresh, woody, musky
Notes:
Aqua Vitae opens with a burst of vibrant Sicilian mandarin and Calabrian bergamot, laying a fresh and exhilarating foundation. The core replaces the wood aroma with the bright note of ylang-ylang coming from Madagascar, whereby the element of floral makes it both bright and attractive. The bottom note is a sophisticated mix of Guaiac wood and vanilla-noted hedione, which makes the final smell a round, rich, and creamy sensation that lightly stays on the skin, creating a musky, soft, and protective effect that lasts indefinitely.
Suggested Use
For a scent that evolves beautifully and resonates with sunny sophistication, apply Aqua Vitae Perfume by Maison Francis Kurkdjian generously to pulse points. These include areas such as behind the ears, wrists, and the décolleté, where the fragrance can develop and release its sunny warmth throughout the day. Layering on moisturized skin after a shower can amplify its fresh citrus and woody undertones, ensuring a long-lasting presence.
