Francis Kurkdjian

"Aqua Vitae Forte is a unisex Eau de Parfum released in 2015 by Maison Francis Kurkdjian. It expands the bright citrus character associated with the Aqua Vitae line into a warmer and more enveloping composition. Mandarin, bergamot, lemon, cinnamon, cardamom, and pink pepper create a sparkling yet spicy opening. Orange blossom and ylang-ylang give the heart a solar floral character. Sandalwood and vetiver form a smooth woody foundation that adds depth without making the fragrance heavy. The overall effect is elegant, luminous, airy, and sensual, with a fuller presence than a straightforward citrus fragrance."

Reviews Summary

“Aqua Vitae Forte is generally perceived as a smooth, solar, and elegant interpretation of the Aqua Vitae style. Its bright citrus opening develops gradually toward warm spice, orange blossom, ylang-ylang, sandalwood, and vetiver. The fragrance is often described as softer, richer, more floral, and more sensual than the original Aqua Vitae, with an airy yet fuller presence.”
