The story behind the bottle.
Renato Bianco crafted Acqua Della Regina to blend the crispness of citrus and aromatic notes with subtle woody and floral undertones. The scent opens with citruses, neroli, and petitgrain, creating a fresh and invigorating top layer that feels like a breath of morning air. As it settles, lavender and rosemary add depth, while cloves introduce an intriguing spiciness. The base notes of musk and patchouli anchor the composition, offering warmth and a lingering earthy aroma.
For this fragrance to shine, focus on applying it in light layers. The citrus and aromatic top notes dissipate quickly, so multiple sprays can help maintain that fresh initial impact throughout the day. The woody base will gradually emerge as these top notes fade.
