The embodiment of balance and the feeling of harmony, the new Maison Francis Kurkdjian Aqua Media Cologne Forte fragrance opens a window onto an undefined green landscape of eternal freshness.

According to Francis Kurkdjian, “Aqua Media Cologne Forte smells like happiness and caring, vitality and energy, reassuring in its apparent simplicity. It puts me in a good mood, that’s all. I have nothing else to add, everything is already there, written in the formula.”

As with all of his Aqua fragrances, Francis Kurkdjian chose a Latin name for this fourth chapter: Aqua Media. And as with each Cologne Forte, he assigned it one particular color: green, the center of the rainbow, a fantastical phenomenon born of water and sunlight. Aqua Media Cologne forte is the embodiment of balance and harmony. This new eau de parfum opens a window to an infinite, boundlessly fresh, idyllic landscape, where the wind in the wild grass seems to engage in a dialog with the murmuring of serene white-water.

Aqua Media Cologne forte is a joyful eau de parfum with tangy, sparkling and almost mouth-watering fresh notes that are full of life. The aniseed accents Francis Kurkdjian holds so dear are center stage, shining through in this garden of citrus notes.

The top note is a slowly unfurling, bright bergamot from Italy – the common thread running throughout the Aqua Cologne forte collection. It is combined with a crystalline hedione note well-known for its airy, floral radiance, in a perfect accord to add breath and volume to sweet fennel. The remarkable duet created by verbena’s harmony with sweet fennel evokes a bursting, shifting aromatic note of green. This botanical structure is built upon a solid base of woody musks, which underline the fragrance’s sensuality. An effect accentuated by a hint of patchouli amidst these fresh notes, unveiling the fragrance’s electric, almost effervescent facet of green moss.

The new scent is available online at FrancisKurkdjian.com and at Holt Renfrew.
