Acqua della Regina Eau de Cologne, commissioned by Caterina de' Medici as a gift for her future husband, Henry, Duke of Orléans, in 1533. Citrus and petitgrain open. Neroli, rosemary and lavender at the heart. Musk at the base.

Description

Renato Bianco, perfumer to Caterina de' Medici, created a fragrance of Italian citrus and aromatic plants. When she left for France, she took both the perfume and its creator. Known as Acqua della Regina, or the Queen's Water, it remains one of the Officina's oldest documented compositions: hesperidic and aromatic, with a persistent structure built on citrus and officinal herbs. From the Firenze 1221 collection.

Benjamin ★★★★★

The citrus opening is so bright it feels like stepping into a sunlit garden, and the lavender keeps it grounded without turning powdery. I've worn it for three days straight and the sillage is gentle but lasting, which is perfect for a summer cologne.

Riley J. ★★★★★

The neroli and rosemary settle into something so elegant after the initial citrus burst—like stepping into a sun-drenched Tuscan garden. I can smell why Caterina chose this to win over her future husband.

Julian M. ★★★★★

The lavender and rosemary come through beautifully after the citrus fades, grounding it in something classic and almost herbal. It's a lighter scent than I'm used to, but it lingers just enough on my scarf to keep me catching whiffs all afternoon.
