Aqua Celestia
2017
“Lime, mimosa, and white musk — a summer skylight at MFK pricing.”

The take
What works
- ●Lime-mint-mimosa accord with airy MFK polish
- ●Genuinely uplifting summer wearer that smells expensive
- ●Smooth and abstract — closer to watercolor than literal aquatic
Trade-offs
- ●Linear — what you smell at minute 5 is what you get at hour 4
- ●MFK pricing for what could pass as upscale laundry musk
