When the perfume smells like the cap looks,...
...I thought to myself, well then "Congratulations".
I begin my review with the fundamentally nice-looking bottle and wholeheartedly agree with my predecessor (there's really nothing to add to his remarks): What were the responsible parties thinking when designing the cap? Was the budget exhausted? Did they realize later: "Damn, we still need a cap for the bottle!"? Either way: I have rarely seen such an - quite literally - "inappropriate" cap on a perfume in this price range. It sits far too loosely, and the fact that the spray point of this plastic lump is neither visible nor tangible borders on a miracle.
By the way, I find it unfortunate that so many lines must be dedicated to a relatively unimportant part of the whole. But what must be done, must be done.
The cap certainly does not do justice to the fragrance. Aqua Celestia Cologne Forte is, after all, a pleasantly clean scent from the house of "Francis Kurkdjian". And on this point, I also agree with my predecessor: It is not particularly strong, but it radiates a lovely summery-citrusy freshness for me. The fragrance notes are coherent and understandable to me, yet the fruity note remains elusive. Over time, the perfume fades in a way that I find pleasant, and I even think I detect a hint of spice; marginal, yet present.
If the description of the bottle's cap - and this brings me back to my headline - takes more lines than the description of the fragrance... that does not necessarily have to be an indication of inferior quality of the scent. In my opinion, the exact opposite is true for Aqua Celestia Cologne Forte: The fragrance is quite simple, but very good.
The longevity is rock solid. On my skin, the perfume lasts a good five to six hours. The projection and sillage also follow the motto "Less is more". The perfume is perceivable in a pleasant way for those around me; I have often been told this.
Is the perfume worth the price that the buyer lays on the table? Well, that is something everyone must decide for themselves. I find it slightly overpriced and would only repurchase the perfume in a sale.
However, this does not change the fact that one (or woman) has a summery-fresh companion for various occasions with this scent. "Universally applicable" really hits the nail on the head.
This attribute almost makes one overlook that something called "cap" exists. I am honest: not just almost.
Aqua Celestia Cologne Forte is a very good summer fragrance.
