About Maison Francis Kurkdjian: Aqua Vitae (U) Type
What is the difference between the old edition and new edition oils?
The original manufacturer of some of our oils raised their prices by a large amount recently but we were able to find oils that are the same or better quality from different manufacturers.
We added these same oils from the new manufacturer at lower prices, and kept the original higher priced oils also with the words “OLD EDITION” added to the title of the oil.
Some customers like the new editions better, and other people like the old edition oil most. The strength and quality is the same, but there may be subtle differences in the scent.
We offer both so that you can choose the one that is best for you.
This fragrance oil is inspired by Maison Francis Kurkdjian: Aqua Vitae Forte (U). It opens with a sunny burst of lemon, mandarin, and bergamot warmed by cinnamon, cardamom, and pink pepper, then blooms into a heart of orange blossom and ylang-ylang before settling into a creamy base of sandalwood and vetiver.
What are the notes?
- Top Notes: Lemon, Sicilian Mandarin, Bergamot, Ceylon Cinnamon, Cardamom, Pink Pepper
- Heart Notes: Tunisian Orange Blossom, Ylang-Ylang
- Base Notes: Sandalwood, Haitian Vetiver
Who is it for?
This scent suits those who enjoy warm, sunny citrus fragrances with a soft spiced twist. It appeals to fans of bright, relaxed profiles that feel like golden sunshine, blending fresh citrus with creamy woods.
When do I use it?
A perfect choice for spring and summer, though its warm spices keep it wearable year round. It works well in body oils, shower gels, lotions, and perfumes, and also makes fresh, uplifting candles and wax melts for the home.

Shipping:
Shipping costs are calculated automatically at checkout based on the weight, size, and destination of your order, so the exact cost is shown before you complete your purchase.

Orders over $500 ship free within the continental U.S. (excluding oversized items). For international orders, shipping is calculated after your order is packed and we'll contact you with the final cost. Customer pickup is also available at our South Hackensack, NJ warehouse at no charge.
You can see your shipping costs before your order is finalized or paid for. As you go through the checkout process, you can see and choose the shipping carrier, speed of delivery, and different prices to decide what is best for you.

You can return any item for almost any reason within 30 days of the original purchase date. However, there is a 10% restocking fee for returns made after 30 days. We do not accept returns beyond 60 days of the purchase date. Please include the invoice with your return, as returns received without proper documentation may result in delays and fees.
