The review
Worth a try. That is where Aqua Green lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Aqua Media Cologne Forte.
HK Perfumes sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Aqua Media Cologne Forte's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
It is sold as a cologne, a lighter concentration than most originals.
At $158 per 100ml it costs 70% less than Aqua Media Cologne Forte — the 2nd cheapest of 3 twins we can price.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.

What it's built to smell like
What it is chasing: mint, basil and bergamot up top, coriander and olibanum in the middle, vetiver and cedar underneath — the shape of Maison Francis Kurkdjian Aqua Media Cologne Forte.

- basil
- bergamot
Heart

Cool mint and basil meet a wisp of incense and vetiver — crisp and green.
