Modelled profile

Built around lemon, mandarin orange and bergamot, with amberwood and musk underneath. It reads cool, with a little weight underneath and mostly dry. It reaches past the wearer without filling a room.

Modelled profile. This profile is derived from the evidence currently available and may be refined over time.

Aqua Vitae Cologne Forte sits mid-range on projection.

Riskmid-range0.37

Aqua Vitae Cologne Forte sits mid-range on risk, neither a clear crowd-pleaser nor clearly divisive on the evidence available.

Texturesheer0.28

Aqua Vitae Cologne Forte sits light in the air, close to the skin and easy to miss. That is 10th percentile for texture across 5,283 scored fragrances.

Sweetnesslightly sweet0.43

Aqua Vitae Cologne Forte carries sweetness without letting it define the scent. That is 61st percentile for sweetness across 5,283 scored fragrances.

Projection, risk and texture describe how a fragrance behaves in a room and on skin. Where wear reports are thin, those scores rest near the middle by design, so a mid-range reading here is a statement about the evidence as much as about the scent. Warmth and sweetness are derived from composition and do not carry that caveat.
