Barakkat Aqua Stellar

* Beautiful hybrid citrus floral fragrance * Nice blend of citrus, floral, powdery and musky notes * Light clean and refreshing * Perfect for warmer weather * Great for those who like citrus, floral and "blue freshie" fragrance DNAs * Unisex * Great for social occasions * Great for younger users * Good performer * Some men may find it leans too feminine due to the floral notes * May come off as soap or laundry detergent to some noses due to strong musk Fragrance World's Barakkat Aqua Stellar is a clone of Maison Francis Kurdjikan's Aqua Celestia. It's quite the beautiful hybrid citrus floral fragrance, with a strong citrus opening leading to floral, powdery and musky aromas. This is really good for those who like citrus and floral fragrance DNAs, and its hybrid nature even makes it come off as a good "blue freshie" style of fragrance as well. The musk is noticeably strong in the mid and drydown, which may make this lean a bit too feminine for some male users. This is great for social occasions, just screams to be used in warmer weather, and is particularly good for younger users. Performance is good as is the price. Highly recommended.

Had this for about 1y now... You know how you smell a fragrance in the air and you say "IT'S SPOT ON" with another one, but when you smell it up close you perceive them as similar, but not the same, even though you can't put your finger on the differences? This is what happened to me when I smelled this side-by-side with Aqua Celestia edt... You can tell they are not the same, but both give you the same feeling... It is a musky citrus with some light florals... I don't get the currant note in this, even though I think it might add to the citrus sensation... Like the OG, this performs very well on me.. Can smell it the next day on my skin and it projects well, even though it is not that kind of fragrance that slaps you over the nose with its smell.. Very good warm weather fragrance, versatile and classy! Hope this helps! Cheers

I don’t remember Aqua Celestial being so fizzy and citrus. But still, I’m actually impressed. If you like citrus, effervescent fragrances that lean a bit feminine, then you should give it a try. It isn’t a sophisticated perfume, more on the casual/summer/daytime spectrum. For what it is, I’m truly impressed.

Nose Note #4 I'm glad they finally added it. I see that some people already marked the performance as long lasting or moderate. Unfortunately, in my experience it had been terribly bad, I'd say 1 hour at best, after that you are left with a skin scent. It performs much better on clothes for sure - the flowery smell lingers on for 6-8 hours, or maybe until you wash it off. But even on clothes it's so week you can only smell it if you put your nose to it. That being said, I will readily agree that I might have just got a bad batch of the juice. To my knowledge there are some inconsistencies with Fragrance World. But perhaps they are going to mend them. It seems that they've taken a completely different route in 2024 just by looking at the original bottle designs instead of downright bottle clones. As for the scent itself, it's great, no doubt about that. I haven't smelled the original, but from what I've read in the OG reviews - I smell the same thing. It's a Sprite scent in the opening (how I wish it remained so for hours) and then it's smooth flowers (mimosa) kind of feminine. A very light scent, I don't see it being worn in anything but high heat situations - 30-35C, because it's purely refreshing. Clean and airy, tit bit reminding of clothing cleaning products Would I recommend? Definitely. Despite the performance nuance it's a good choice, especially for the ladies

Apparently a clone of Maison Francis Kurdjikan's Aqua Celestia, which I haven’t smelled. It’s a bright, sparkling, mouthwatering lime, bergamot and blackcurrant opening which brings instant refreshment, closely followed by mimosa and jasmine on a bed of ultra clean musks. There’s a slightly effervescent aquatic element in there. Definitely made for hot weather, but perfect anytime for that just out of the shower moment when you want to feel totally refreshed and clean. Some might say it leans partly feminine and I love that. Sadly, performance is predictable for this kind of scent - projection is briefly very good but the citrus and blackcurrant top notes lose their effervescence after a short time, then the florals fade, though the musk lasts very long. The quality of ingredients is clearly not as luxurious as MFK, it loses a point for that and although quite a fleeting experience it’s still a lovely one. Instant pick me up - would be great for awakening on summer mornings. Can’t wait to try that.
