Aqua Vitae Forte

Aqua Vitae Forte arrives sharp and bright—Ceylon cinnamon and pink pepper kindle immediately, while bergamot and lemon cut through with citrus clarity. Cardamom and mandarin warm the opening into something almost spiced-candy radiant. As the top fades, ylang-ylang blooms creamy and honeyed against orange blossom's waxy, almost soapy florality. The base settles into sandalwood's smooth, pale wood and haitian vetiver's earthy, slightly smoky roots, grounding the fragrance's early vivacity into something dry and quietly mineral. A cologne that pulses between brightness and shadow.
