Aqua Regia

Notes

Top notes

• Bergamot Sparkling peel of a green-gold citrus, juicy and slightly floral, with a bitter edge that keeps it elegant.
• Leather Dry, supple and slightly smoky, like worn hide.
• Black Currant Tangy, dark and slightly musky, with a green, almost catty sharpness.

Heart notes

• Patchouli Earthy, damp and chocolatey, dark leaf with a camphor edge.
• Caramel Warm, toasty-sweet melted sugar with a buttery depth.
• Violet Sweet, powdery and faintly green, like candied petals.
• Iris Cool, buttery, powdery and slightly earthy, like lipstick and cold stone; taken from the root, not the flower.

Base notes

• Musk Soft, clean, skin-like warmth, from fresh laundry to warm skin.
• Cedar Dry, pencil-shaving wood, clean and slightly smoky.
• Vanilla Warm, creamy, sweet and slightly smoky, like a custard-soft cloud.
