DSQUARED² 2013 EDP
Potion Royal Black
DSQUARED² Potion Royal Black is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2013. Potion Royal Black opens with Allspice, Bergamot, and Incense, settles into a heart of Leather, Rose, and Tobacco, and dries down to a base of Cashmere Wood, Musk, and Guaiac Wood. DSQUARED²'s Potion Royal Black carries an Acquired verdict, a musk-led wear.
This discontinued gem is a love-it-or-hate-it affair, but mostly love. It's a dark, captivating rose and leather combo, punching well above its weight for a designer scent. If you can still find it, grab it - it's niche quality and an absolute beast of performance.What our verdicts mean →

Scent Profile
Composition
Timeline
Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear
Best Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Best Occasions
Given its beastly projection and longevity, this is too assertive for most office environments. It shines for romantic dates and formal evening events, with some reviewers noting its versatility for dressing up or down on colder nights.
