Maison Francis Kurkdjian Aqua Vitae

Aqua Vitae by Maison Francis Kurkdjian is a citrus aromatic fragrance for women and men, launched in 2013 and inspired by the warmth and sensual freshness of the Mediterranean island of Formentera. This niche perfume blends radiant citrus notes with soft sweetness and elegant woods for a clean yet intimate scent signature.

The opening features Calabrian lemon and Sicilian mandarin, creating a bright, juicy, and energetic citrus introduction. The heart is enhanced by hedione, adding airy floral transparency and smooth diffusion. Warmth develops through Brazilian tonka bean and vanilla infusion, bringing subtle sweetness and sensual depth.

The base of guaiac wood provides a soft, dry woody trail with refined longevity. The overall effect is fresh, luminous, and skin-close yet memorable.

Maison Francis Kurkdjian Aqua Vitae is ideal for fragrance lovers searching for a citrus niche perfume, a fresh woody aromatic scent, or a luxury unisex summer fragrance with sensual warmth.
