Aqua Universalis Forte

Aqua Universalis Forte by Maison Francis Kurkdjian delivers an exceptionally clean, fresh, and airy scent reminiscent of freshly laundered white linens draped in a cool summer breeze. The opening bursts with bright, juicy citrus notes—amalfi lemon and bergamot—that are sharp but not overwhelming, quickly blending into a delicate, shimmering bouquet of white florals including jasmine and rose. As the fragrance dries down, it settles into a soft, subtly musky and woody base, creating a refined, skin-scent effect that lingers beautifully. The perfume is notable for its outstanding longevity and moderate sillage, going far beyond typical freshness to become a long-lasting, elegant scent. It is widely regarded as a unisex fragrance with a gentle bias toward the feminine due to its prominent floral heart, but it is designed to be worn confidently by anyone, especially in warm weather. Its quality lies in its seamless, natural-smelling composition—like standing in a sunlit linen yard with just a hint of delicate flower and soft musk. This perfume is especially beloved for spring and summer wear, offering a refreshing aura that feels clean, polished, and uplifting.
