Aqua Universalis Forte
Maison Francis Kurkdjian Aqua Universalis Forte smells like lemon zest and morning light, with bergamot laid over the top.

How it moves
Up top: bergamot, lemon and sweet orange. Enjoy them; they will not stay. The middle belongs to lily of the valley and mock orange. It dries down to white musk and woody notes, close to the skin and hard to forget.
