Aqua Media Cologne Forte

UnisexBy Francis KurkdjianRated 3.9/5 · 2,175 reviews

bergamot · vervain

A fresh water that opens on bergamot and vervain, then drifts toward fennel and a luminous hedione. Matcha and musk settle into a soft, woodsy base, almost powdery. Wear it late in the morning, as the day's warmth is only beginning to rise.
