Scent Bar Staff Video Review for Aqua Media Cologne Forte

Video Transcript

Many people are familiar with the brand Maison Francis Kurkdjian because of its star perfume, Baccarat Rouge 540. This, by contrast, is a new release and it's so different from Baccarat Rouge in that it's so sparkling and playful. This is perfect for summer.

So it's a combination of herbal notes, verbena, green tea, sweet fennel. I love all of these with some wood and musk in the background to give it some longevity. In fact, it's reminiscent to another fragrance that I've worn for years called Herbe Fresca from Guérin. Whereas that fragrance I so love and I find so refreshing has very poor longevity and that's because it's an eau de cologne and I expect that from an eau de cologne.

But that's why Francis Kurkdjian is a star engineer when it comes to perfume because it has those beautiful top notes that just linger and linger in a way that is very unexpected. I highly recommend Aqua Media Cologne Forte.

Years searching for a never ending summer fragrance has ended. This is it. Got a sample today and immediately ordered a FB. It’s green, it’s blue, it’s sparkling, it’s perfect.

I tried this as a sample. It is very in its scent. Like taking a handful of leaves from any bush along a trail, rubbing them together and inhaling. The smell is not bad if you like the smell of crushed leaves or green veggies.

This MFK fragrance is AMAZING !!! I have been wearing Baccarat Rouge 540 for years. The price tag is high, but the quality of ingredients deserve the price tag. This fragrance is very very different from 540 on me, but I love it !! It reminds me of a slightly spicy Irish spring soap, but way better. I tried the sample of it first since I’m a 540 queen, I’m definitely getting the full size of this fragrance. I sampled about 15 different fragrances, all different brands, and this is a definite stand out!
