Aqua Universalis Forte
Maison Francis Kurkdjian Aqua Universalis Forte is an eau de parfum with a bright, sunlit character built on white floral and citrus notes, softened by a clean musky depth. A bergamot opening gives way to a radiant floral heart, with jasmine and rose lifting the scent into a luminous, airy middle, before a warm woody and musky base settles in beneath it.
The development feels brisk at first and then gradually rounder as it settles. The aromatic and faintly powdery undertones add texture without weighing the scent down, so it reads as fresh rather than heavy. Its sillage is strong, and it generally carries well across a room, while longevity is long lasting, so it tends to remain noticeable through a full day.
The character is versatile enough for a range of settings, from professional days and casual outings to a night out. Because it is cast as a unisex fragrance, it suits a broad range of wearers, and its clean, radiant profile makes it a natural choice across spring, summer, autumn and winter.
Presented as an eau de parfum in a 35ml bottle from Maison Francis Kurkdjian.
