Aqua Vitae - the water of life
The idea for Aqua Vitae came to Francis Kurkdjian during a hot afternoon on Formentera. He was travelling across the Balearic island on an old motorbike and the wind blowing around his nose was wonderfully cool. The sun intensified the flavours of nature around him.
Aqua Vitae - when life is simply beautiful. An extremely fine sensuality enveloped in an incredible freshness.
Aqua Vitae - Between you and me
Aqua Vitae was inspired by life. A magical breath, a fragrance between its wearer and its counterpart, a fragrance between you and me. Like the joyful tingling on the back of your neck just before something wonderful happens.
The yin and yang of perfumery, anticipation and fulfilment at the same time, masculine in its femininity, feminine in its masculinity.
A fresh fragrance despite the warmth of its top note, the hint of tonka bean, the tenderness of vanilla, in which Calabrian lemon dances and Sicilian mandarin sings. A fragrance of contrasts like the sparkle of light on golden skin.
The dazzling sun that shines through the fragrance is an essence called Hedione. It is carried by guaiac wood, which enchants and is guaranteed to linger in the memory. A perfume for a woman and a man who inevitably attract each other. Sensual in nature, delicate in scent, Aqua Vitae triggers an irresistible desire to be kissed on the neck. The senses are tantalised, the body relaxed. You smell as naturally good as you breathe.
Francis Kurkdjian has carefully selected only the finest and highest quality raw materials for Aqua Vitae. Lemon from Calabria, mandarin from Sicily, tonka bean from Brazil, vanilla, hedione and guaiac wood, the ‘wood of life’.
