Aqua Minimes

Aqua Minimes is a crisp, linear citrus cologne defined by its clean, green freshness. It opens with bright lemon citron, mandarin orange, and vetiver, delivering a sharp yet natural peppery citrus burst that warms into a soft, grassy-woody drydown. The scent evolves subtly—deepening into a slightly sweetened vetiver base while retaining its botanical clarity, with litsea cubeba adding a faintly herbal lift in the heart. Despite its lightness, it feels intentional and refined, echoing Jean-Claude Ellena’s signature minimalist elegance found in the Jardins series. It’s best worn in warm weather—spring and summer—and works beautifully on skin with moderate longevity and sillage. Many users report it lingers well on clothing, providing a pleasantly lingering aromatic trail without ever feeling heavy or synthetic.
