About

Powerful from the off, Aqua Regia unleashes a burst of sharp blackcurrant and bergamot, immediately softened by a prominent, powdery leather. Violet and orris create a floral-powdery heart, whilst a subtle caramel note adds a delicate sweetness. The base is rich with musk, cedar, and vanilla, anchoring the leather and patchouli. It's an opulent, transformative scent evolving into a modern chypre.
