Francis Kurkdjian, an LVMH brand, has added a new fragrance to its Aqua Cologne forte collection: Aqua Media Cologne forte Eau de Parfum, inspired by the effervescence of nature.
 
Aqua Media Cologne forte features “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. Within the heart notes lay sweet fennel and matcha tea accord to evoke a bursting, shifting aromatic note of green. At the base, woody musks are accentuated by a hint of patchouli.
 
The flacon is green, reminiscent of wild herbs.
 
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.”
