By the editors · 2 min readAqua sketches the lightest possible structure — bergamot brightening the opening, a single jasmine note holding the middle, and a thin cedar plank holding everything up. The composition is thin by design: there's no aquatic note in the pyramid despite the name, and what registers in wear is a quick citrus-floral that drops to a dry woody skin scent within an hour.
With so few moving parts, the perfume reads as a casual everyday spritz rather than a developed fragrance. It works best in warm weather, on bare skin, when the goal is freshness and proximity rather than projection or staying power.
