Agree, to me personally, aqua celestia is that type of perfume you wear to please yourself and not for attention grabing that kind of stuff. I really love the scent as many people do. Somehow forte is a bit too harsh on my nose in the opening but the dry down is just as beautiful as the original. Thanks for the video!
I have 10 of his frags, most of the male and unisex lines but not celestia forte so thanks for the comparison. I like celestia a lot, its clean like universalis but with added mint. I think my favourite is either celestia, amyris or oud (depends on the season). My least favourite I have is apom pour homme, it smells too funky/dirty in the drydown.
OMG I actually messed up the comments and we were talking about different perfumes indeed! I meant baccarat rouge 540 cause so many asked to review it, sorry!
Really liked Aqua Celestia Forte on paper, but not so much on my skin. Didn't expect it would change that much, unlike BR540 or Grand Soir. The transition is akin to Gentle Fluidity Silver but the two are fairly distinct. Great to get your thoughts Yana.
Sounds like not even worth trying! Especially when you compared them to some designer scents. I wear Eau de Rochas a lot during the summer. It is inexpensive but fresh and a bit complex and cuts right through the heat. It also has decent longevity due to good base notes. Highly recommend it. Also some of the Guerlain AA line are terrific for summer but the longevity on them is poor - they're more of an after shower or right before you go out in the heat choice.
I own a few from Mfk, but haven't tried this one. Given the choice I'd go with the forte just because of the strong. Personally I hate lemon and mint , Lemon reminds me of cleaning products and mint reminds me of toothpaste 😒
*Great comparison, Yana!* Have so far the homme editions of APOM & Lumière Noire (Homme versions, but IMHO unisex). Nice stuff for spring/summer season. From my wishlist: Aqua Vitae Forte, smells like mediterran sunset. High praises from fragheads: Baccarat Rouge 540 and Oud Satin Mood. Many of them bought also the extrait, cause they can't get enough of it! ☕😉👌
