What does Aqua Regia smell like?

The top notes are leather, Calabrian bergamot and blackcurrant: the bergamot and blackcurrant keep the start bright and fruity while leather adds a harder edge underneath. In the heart, Florentine iris and violet bring a powdery floral note, and Singapore patchouli and caramel add sweetness and an earthy depth. The base of musk, Bourbon vanilla and cedar softens everything into a woody sweetness.

Longevity and sillage are both rated strong. Most voters pick autumn, then winter and spring, and it leans towards evenings and nights out. Voters mostly read it as masculine, with classic and modern votes too. Xerjoff Luna and Kinetic Perfumes L'Una have a close profile.
