Aqua Sextius
Orange, grapefruit, and bergamot open Aqua Sextius with a bright, sun-warm citrus that mimosa elevates into something more atmospheric — mimosa adds a honeyed, slightly powdery-floral quality that turns a simple citrus opening into an evocation of warm stone and early spring.

Fig arrives as the sole heart note, functioning as a bridge rather than a focal point: the milky, slightly resinous, almost green quality of fig sits exactly between the light top and the dense base, connecting them without overshadowing either.
The base is where Aqua Sextius earns its niche credentials. Oakmoss, guaiac wood, and labdanum form a complex, resinous-earthy foundation; cedar provides structure; amber and musk extend the warmth. It finishes long, complex, and quietly opulent.
