Description
Maison Francis Kurkdjian Aqua Media Cologne Forte Eau de Parfum 2.4 oz (70ml)
The Maison Francis Kurkdjian Aqua Media Cologne Forte is a refined unisex fresh-citrus-green fragrance that feels like “liquid light” on the skin. Created by master perfumer Francis Kurkdjian, it is part of the brand’s Cologne Forte collection and is designed to capture a balance of citrus brightness, herbal greenery, and soft musky woods.
It is not a heavy or sweet perfume—instead, it focuses on a clean, modern freshness with a green twist, making it perfect for people who like airy, sophisticated scents rather than loud or sugary fragrances. (Fragrantica)
