The review

Worth a try. That is where Aqua Universus Forte lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Aqua Universalis.

CA Perfume sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Aqua Universalis's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

Evidence7.0

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength CA Perfume publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.

What it's built to smell like

What it is chasing: amalfi lemon, bergamot and orange up top, lily of the valley and orange blossom in the middle, musk and woodsy notes underneath — the shape of Maison Francis Kurkdjian Aqua Universalis.

  • amalfi lemon

Heart

  • lily of the valley

Base

For the one who wants a luminous, soapy-clean citrus and white-flower freshness that smells like sunlight on freshly laundered linen.
