Aqua Vitae Cologne forte takes the spirit of eau de Cologne into an eau de parfum concentration. Mandarin gives bergamot a sparkling freshness, for a citrusy, floral and sunny trail.
Sensual musks, supported by sandalwood, prolong this warm light on the skin. A caressing cologne, like a halo of sunshine.

Aqua Vitae Cologne forte in detail
Aqua Vitae Cologne forte belongs to the Aqua Collection by Maison Francis Kurkdjian, devoted to the many facets of freshness. It is an intensified, sun-drenched cologne presented as an eau de parfum: softer and more present than a classic eau de Cologne.
The house lists four main notes, without sorting them into stages. Mandarin and bergamot bring a luminous freshness, sweet rather than sharp. Musk and sandalwood extend them with a creamy, clean base that gives the fragrance its sunny, caressing side.
Aqua Vitae Cologne forte is worn by day, in spring and summer: in the morning, at the office, on holiday. It will suit anyone who loves colognes but would like them more enveloping.
Three citrus fragrances in our catalogue come close: Bergamote 22 by Le Labo shares bergamot and musk, with amber; Silver Mountain Water by Creed brings together bergamot, musk and sandalwood around tea; Wild Orange by Fragrance Du Bois pairs mandarin, bergamot and sandalwood.
