Which Should You Buy?

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.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Regal Leather
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Aqua Regia By Xerjoff - a powdery fragrance led by Leather, with leather depth. Expect a softer, closer-to-skin take on the original - the signature intact, the projection gentler.

Season and Occasion Fit

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.

Regal Leather

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

The powdery character is happiest in spring and summer - the freshness reads bright and clean in milder weather; the dupe's lighter build means it can struggle to project in the opposite season.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Sport

Its powdery, leather signature leans toward casual and daily wear - approachable enough for date use without overwhelming a room.
