Aqua Universalis, by Maison Francis Kurkdjian, dates from 2009. The top brings together bergamot, lemon and orange, all three marked by freshness, the heart blends lily of the valley and white flowers, while the base combines white musks and woody notes, both sensual.
Bergamot, lemon and orange occupy the top: the three share the same freshness, while lemon and orange also come together through their acidity.
Lily of the valley, green and fresh, sits alongside white flowers, powdery and sweet, at the heart of the composition.
White musks, sensual and coppery, and woody notes, sensual as well, blend together in the base: sensuality links these two materials that grain, coppery on one side, woody on the other, sets apart.
