Maison Francis Kurkdjian Aqua Universalis Forte - eau de parfum for women or men

Aqua Universalis Forte by Maison Francis Kurkdjian - "An aerial fragrance, at once light an powerful, like gold in the summer. With an exceptional concentration of 40%, it is on a par with a perfume extract. Capped with a golden stopper, a reminder of the light, Aqua Universalis forte is protected by a luxury sliding box." --franciskurkdjian.com

Fragrance Oils
Once associated with head shops and street vendors, fragrance oils have transcended their grungy reputation. More concentrated than regular perfume and enhanced by the warmth of the skin, oil is one of perfumer Francis Kurkdjian's favorite forms. "Using oils instead of a spray allows me to create a bigger scent trail," he says. For example, his Elixir Aqua Universalis Forte, a roll-on oil version of the woody-citrus scent, contains about 20 percent more of the fragrance than the eau de toilette. And the oil-based scent remains on the skin longer than it would as a perfume.
