Aqua Celestia

Maison Francis Kurkdjian Aqua Celestia dupe, inspired by the original

Maison Francis Kurkdjian Aqua Celestia is a soft, airy fresh floral, built around blackcurrant, mimosa and a clean musk to feel like a clear blue sky. Our interpretation carries that character in a long lasting Eau de Parfum, made in the EU.

The Story Behind the Scent

Francis Kurkdjian is one of the most celebrated perfumers of his generation, and his Aqua line captures light, fresh feelings with the polish of a luxury house. Aqua Celestia was made to evoke a sense of calm and clarity, the feeling of looking up at a bright, cloudless sky.

A juicy blackcurrant, lime and mint open it fresh and slightly tangy, a soft mimosa and jasmine give a gentle floral heart, and a clean base of musk and white woods keeps it light and airy. It smells fresh, soft and uplifting, understated but unmistakably refined, the kind of scent that feels like a deep breath of clean air.

How Our Version Compares to the Original

We do not claim this is identical, because no interpretation is. What we have built follows the same fresh floral signature of the original, rebuilt at up to 40% perfume oil so it projects clearly early on and lingers longer than a typical spray. A little goes a long way.

Who It’s For

It suits anyone who loves a soft, fresh, uplifting floral. It works year round and is especially good in spring and summer, and wears as a gentle unisex fragrance.
