Neutral Reviews of Aqua Celestia by Maison Francis Kurkdjian
Francis Kurkdjian tries his hand at Diorella.
And having no pretentions to art, he eschews the over ripe melon and goes for a soft focus l'Eau d'Issey; a bland, full bodied, citrus - fruity - mimosa - musk.
The fact that Roudnitska's masterpiece is now defunct should be the only reason to wear this, and your spondoolics would be better spent on a vintage Dior
IMO.

The opening is bright - the line and the mint are giveaways that this is is designed for warmer climes, with the mimosa supplying a floral touch. A nice start.
Later on a fruity blackcurrant note arises, with whiffs of redcurrant mixed in too. The citrus dwindles with time.
The main component after that is a good dollop of white musks, which gives a discreetly sweetness to the whole.
I get moderate sillage, very good projection, and seven hours if longevity on my skin.
A pleasant summer scent in the earlier stages, it becomes very plain and a bit undifferentiated in the later stages. 2.75/5

Nice citrus with a touch of mint. Simple, without a lot of notes make for a summer gem. 7.5/10
