Aqua Vitae Forte
lemon · guatemalan cardamom · sicilian mandarin
Aqua Vitae Forte opens on sharp lemon, Sicilian mandarin and Guatemalan cardamom that fizz from the first touch. Ceylon cinnamon and pink pepper add warmth and bite, then Madagascar ylang-ylang and Tunisian orange blossom soften the heart. The base of sandalwood and Haitian vetiver stays dry and woody. Wear it in spring, when the light shifts and the air turns lighter.
