FragDNA score · on paper

The review

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

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

Evidence7.0

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Montagne Parfums 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: lemon, bergamot and blood orange up top, cedar and tea in the middle, white musk and woody notes underneath — the shape of Maison Francis Kurkdjian Aqua Vitae.

Top

  • lemon
  • bergamot
  • blood orange

Heart
