Aqua Blue.

Born from MITH’s commitment to turn a simple memory into a scent, Aqua Blue was conceived in Bangkok’s modest studio in early 2025. Master perfumer Carlos Benaïm was asked to capture the feeling of a clear morning by the river, where the air carries the sharp snap of juniper and the subtle earth of turmeric leaf. The brief called for a skin-close, unisex composition that would feel both fresh and grounding, echoing the house’s belief that fragrance should echo everyday intimacy rather than grand spectacle.

Juniper berry gives the opening a crisp, pine-like clarity that instantly awakens the senses, while turmeric leaf adds an unexpected, warm spice that grounds the freshness without turning overtly hot. Lavender softens the transition, offering a familiar herbal calm, and orris contributes a powdery, slightly violet nuance that lifts the heart. Cedarwood and patchouli form a woody, earthy base that lingers long enough to remind the wearer of a quiet forest floor after a rainstorm.

When Aqua Blue was first conceived, the perfumers aimed to capture the crisp freshness of early morning dew on a pine‑laden trail, blending juniper’s sharp green notes with the warm, earthy spice of turmeric. Over several months of testing, the formula evolved to include a heart of lavender and orris that softened the initial burst, while a base of cedarwood and patchouli was added to anchor the scent and extend its presence. The final composition reflects a balance between bright, invigorating top notes and a comforting, lingering dry‑down, mirroring the brand’s philosophy of memory‑driven fragrance that adapts to the wearer’s skin over time.

Since its 2025 debut, Aqua Blue has become a quiet favorite among fans of unisex aromatics, often mentioned alongside the house’s Blue Wood Fresh for its fresh‑aquatic vibe. Its exclusive availability at Icon Siam adds a boutique allure, prompting collectors to seek it out during Bangkok’s summer festivals.
