The third of Basil Valentine's legendary and mysterious alchemical keys, "Aqua Regia" was actually an acidic mixture with the ability to dissolve gold and platinum, making it a crucial component of refining highly pure royal metals. As a fragrance, Aqua Regia more than lives up to its royal pedigree, delivering a scent that blends lush rose with fresh, earthy and musky elements to produce a beautifully complex unisex floral with deep, rich longevity.
Despite the long list of heavy notes, Aqua Regia actually opens crisp and juicy, with a strong bergamot note that introduces the central rose- full-bodied, romantic, and, combining with the herbaceous eucalyptus and rich patchouli notes, modern and unisex. A drydown of warm oud, creamy vanilla and spicy vetiver round out the depth, solidifying Aqua Regia as a scent that truly deserves the name- it is a magical potion that can transform the essence of the most valuable materials.
