The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2017 by Maison Francis Kurkdjian, Aqua Celestia is a Floral Green fragrance that captures the essence of freshness and lightness. The composition opens with vibrant lime and mint, giving way to green notes and black currant, creating an invigorating contrast. At its heart, neroli and mimosa add a delicate floral touch, while rose rounds out the bouquet with warmth. The base of white musk ensures a soft, powdery finish that lingers without overpowering.

How to wear it

One or two sprays are sufficient as the fragrance builds gradually on the skin. The lime and mint top notes are bright but fleeting, so it's best to layer for a more enduring experience. Aqua Celestia reads well in cooler weather when the musky base notes come through most clearly.
