Review and SOTD - MFK Aqua Media Cologne Forte
Working through some samples this week. It was warmer today and though a fresh scent would be nice. Maison Francis Kurkdjian launched this in 2023. Itās a fresh citrus aromatic thatās sleek, clean, and invigorating. It opens with bergamot and a green/herbaceous burst thatās reminiscent of iced matcha tea with a citrus edge. It then settles into a smooth musky freshness. It's uplifting, classy, and perfect for spring/summer/daytime use, though likely versatile enough for early fall too. Itās a fresh, clean, classy green citrus profile. Performance is subpar, even for a fresh scent. It has a strong opening but becomes a skin scent after 2.5 to 3 hours. I enjoyed its sophisticated freshness but am disappointed with its staying power. If you like crisp, green, citrus colognes it's worth sampling.
