Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Faris
This one's a proper sweet-and-sour fruit bomb; a modern, mature hit for warmer weather that's a bit synthetic but manages to pull it off. Gets mixed reviews, but don't knock it 'til you've tried it.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Aqua Regia
Aqua Regia by Xerjoff is a divisive, full-bodied leather fragrance; a sophisticated scent for the bold. Not a safe blind-buy, but a masterpiece for those who connect with its complex, dark leather character.

Season and Occasion Fit

Faris

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Autumn

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Date Sport

Its fresh, fruity, and musky character makes it ideal for casual daytime wear, especially in warmer seasons. The moderate projection and sweetness mean it's not overpowering for office settings, but it's a bit too playful for formal events.

Aqua Regia

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its strong projection and significant longevity, Aqua Regia is best suited for evenings and special occasions where its opulence can shine without overwhelming a professional setting. The prominent leather and powdery notes make it too heavy for casual daytime or sport wear, but perfect for a sophisticated date or formal event.
