The Maison Francis Kurkdjian Aqua Universalis fragrance diffuser expresses the fragrance’s unparalleled freshness. The instantly fresh and breezy fragrance develops, releasing a bouquet composed of lily of the valley and syringa which is enhanced by light and musky woods, creating a soothing and relaxing cocoon.

Initially extracted from Tibetan musk deers, natural musk has been banned in perfumery since 1973. Synthetic molecules designed to replace it appeared at the end of the 19th century, so today there is a wide selection of musky notes with an olfactory palette ranging from fruity, to woody to animal facets. Musks are very persistent and relatively non-volatile base notes. They have been extensively used in detergents and fabric softeners, and are commonly referred to as white musks because they evoke the scent of soft, fluffy clean linen, and conjure up a feeling of tenderness and comfort suitable for all kinds of fragrances. With their inimitable mellowness highly appreciated by the general public, today musky notes are present in the vast majority of women’s and men’s perfumes.

Inspired by the Maison’s elegant candle design, this artisanal porcelain indoor fragrance diffuser features a hand-applied gold band. The diffuser will unfurl a delicate scent into the atmosphere for an estimated period of four months.
