Aqua Universalis

Editorial notes

1. 01

   A clean citrus with white musk that re-reads the eau de cologne tradition through Kurkdjian's signature crystalline musk base, the launch fragrance of his own maison.

2. 02

   Reviewers consistently describe it as the smell of clean laundry on a sunny morning, a flagship example of the contemporary clean-musk niche register.

3. 03

   Released the year Maison Francis Kurkdjian opened, after the perfumer's commercial success with Le Male had funded a personal house with his own name.

4. 04

   Composed by Francis Kurkdjian in 2009 around Calabrian bergamot and Sicilian lemon over a sweet mock orange-lily heart with a clean musk-sweet wood base.
