Middle Notes:
As the initial citrus burst begins to soften, the heart of Aqua Media reveals itself—a soothing mix of sweet fennel and hedione. This herbal accord is both lively and calming, reflecting the green, fresh vitality that is central to this fragrance's character. It's an uplifting moment that captures the natural beauty of lush greenery after a light rain.

Base Notes:
Finally, the fragrance settles into a warm, comforting base of matcha tea, musk, and woodsy notes. The woody musk accord adds depth and longevity, leaving a trail that lingers like a peaceful memory of nature's balance. The matcha tea note introduces a subtle earthiness, grounding the fragrance in an experience that feels both invigorating and timeless.
