Which Should You Buy?
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.
A juicy, photorealistic fig fragrance that's a crowd-pleaser for most, though some may find the acidity a bit much or the violet too prominent. Definitely an understated gem.

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