Niche perfume brand Jul et Mad (the brainchild of real-life couple, Julien Blanchard and Madalina Stoica-Blanchard) have launched their fourth fragrance, Aqua Sextius. The fragrance continues the love story of the creators, told by the brand’s three other fragrances (Stilettos on Lex, Terrasse a St Germain and Amour de Palazzo) as an ode to the enjoyment of life and “its moments of perfect harmony”.

Created by perfumer, Cécile Zarokian (also responsible for Amouage’s sublime Epic Woman), Aqua Sextius is described as a “green chypre/citrus amber” and a “true explosion of freshness”, and as with all of Jul et Mad’s fragrant offerings, it is a perfume that tells a story:

“Drawing inspiration from Aix en Provence, the city of 100 fountains and the place where, on hot summers days, Julien and Madalina find themselves surrounded by friends and loved ones, celebrating their love and their union. It’s a moment of tranquility, generosity and total well being with the sound of clinking ice cubes, joyous laughter and the melody of slowly running water forming the backdrop to the festivities.”
