Royal Water

Notes

Top notes

• Bergamot Sparkling peel of a green-gold citrus, juicy and slightly floral, with a bitter edge that keeps it elegant.
• Lemon Sharp, zesty and clean, like a freshly scored peel.
• Mandarin Soft, sweet and honeyed citrus, gentler than orange.
• Peppermint Cool, sweet and clean, with an icy herbal sparkle.

Heart notes

• Basil Peppery, green and a touch anise-like, with a juicy herbal snap.
• Pepper Dry, warm and sharply aromatic, with a tingling bite.
• Cumin Warm, earthy and animalic spice, like skin after a long day.

Base notes

• Ambergris Salty, sweet, skin-like and slightly marine; a soft, glowing warmth.
