This New Fragrance Is So Good, My Boyfriend and I Have Been Fighting Over It

This is the house’s fourth fragrance in their Cologne Forte collection. Like the other Cologne Forte fragrances, Aqua Media’s top note is bergamot from Italy, which adds tons of freshness to the fragrance. The fragrance also has notes of verbena accord, sweet fennel, hedione, woody musks, matcha accord, and patchouli. These scent notes blend together for an aromatic citrus fragrance that reminds my boyfriend of the ocean and me of the Côte d’Azur. 

“Aqua Media Cologne Forte smells like happiness and caring, vitality and energy, reassuring in its apparent simplicity,” Francis Kurkdjian shared in a press release. “It puts me in a good mood, that’s all. I have nothing else to add. Everything is already there, written in the formula.”
