Aqua Regia is a masterpiece.

I tried this perfume at the suggestion of a lady who works at the Xerjoff boutique in Frankfurt. I must admit that the perfume blew me away.
It opens fresh, there are currants, bergamot and delicate leather, the perfume refreshes and exudes special elegance. Not long after, patchouli, very little caramel and iris come. In the drydown, it opens with vanilla, a bit of cedar, but also with a bit of leather. Don't be afraid of leather notes. This is not a presentation of leather, it is just one of the ingredients that complete the composition of the fragrance. The perfume is very well blended, so you will need time to discover all the notes. Excellent quality of ingredients.
This perfume is beautiful from opening to closing.
It lasts very long and stays on the skin all day with nuclear projection. This was definitely a good buy.

Interessant aber nicht meins..

Ich hab diesen Duft blind gekauft und würde es so nicht empfehlen, besser vorher testen.
Der ist keinesfalls schlecht, einfach nur nicht mein Geschmack + ich habe noch nicht die besten Anwendungsbereiche gefunden, eventuell auf einem Anzug.
Er riecht tatsächlich dem 17Rosso ähnlich.
Ich würde ihn als würzig, ledrig beschreiben. Außerdem hölzernd, erdig mit grünen Noten. Ich weiß nicht, vielleicht ist meine Nase nicht genug ausgeprägt, ich rieche jedoch weder Karamell, Vanille oder noch irgendwas süßes raus. Könnte sein dass es die Johannisbeere ist, die manche als süß/fruchtig empfinden, mir kommt es nur leicht säuerlich vor.
Trotz allem interessanter Duft, Flakon sieht toll aus, er hält sehr lange an und sillage ist auch stark.
Preislich in Ordnung, ich habe 150€ für 50ml gezahlt. Es ist halt ein Xerjoff, man kriegt insgesamt schon was für den Preis.

Summer solstice

Taken to the most beautiful place to linger in the green bay,
Let's drink sour lemonade pressed from bergamot fruit by the Königsbächlein stream.

It is densely overgrown here, the foliage of the trees hangs low,
A sparkle on the waves, sunlight pushing through dense leaves.

The leather saddles rest in the green grass, freshly cut, what a scent,
We lie between stalks, blue sky, caressed by warm summer air.

Currant dessert on a chocolate patch, we feast on it with pleasure,
Happiness in our bellies and eyes, caramel on our lips, a sweet kiss.

Flowing her hair falls in curls, adorned by an iris pale,
My lapel is adorned with a violet, it smells flowery, very, very soft.

Lost musky clouds flit across the blue sky,
The clear, cool water gently sloshes, ripples and undulates.

The sun warms the old cedars, at their feet we lie down,
We smell of caramel, vanilla, as if we had just eaten it.

As the sun sinks lower and lower, the afternoon draws to a close,
It will remain in our memories forever, this day at the turn of summer.

Fin.

With Aqua Regia, I quickly found my second favorite from the K Collection by XerJoff alongside "Kemi | XerJoff". As unusual as it is with its fragrance profile, it brings back familiar memories of summer afternoons long gone. The top note starts off very sour and tangy with deep green bergamot and small, dark and very tart currants. Even here, a little of the impending sweetness of caramel shimmers through, which then presents itself in its entirety after a few minutes and beds itself on intensely chocolaty patchouli. However, the fragrance does not drift into a full-bodied gourmand, but only uses the right amount of sweet gourmand notes, which contrast beautifully with the citrusy, sour opening. Slowly, the leather becomes more and more apparent. But here, too, Aqua Regia remains at a very tolerable dosage. Instead, I only detect light leather nuances with a distinctly green touch, mixed with a few delicate, floral accords of iris and violet. As the fragrance progresses, it becomes softer and softer and caramel, vanilla and musk become more and more prominent. The caramel appears slightly burnt from time to time, which in turn adds a little more depth to the composition. All in all, Aqua Regia is a really exciting release that plays a lot with contrasts and a really great transformation.

Aqua Regia: Complex masterpiece & quick-change artist I A high-performance companion for niche lovers!

The "Aqua Regia | XerJoff" comes from the former Kemi collection and is said to evoke the brilliance of gold and the resilience of platinum; an "alchemical" masterpiece, and yes, somehow the bottle alone reflects this mysteriousness that the fragrance wants to convey. But what about the contents?

I was allowed to test the "Aqua Regia | XerJoff" extensively in various situations over several weeks after I had bought another bottle. Here is my conclusion:

- The opening is characterized by an initial freshness based on bergamot and blackcurrant. This freshness is very quickly accompanied by a leather accord, which makes the opening not only special, but also performative from the very beginning.

- A fresh, earthy, almost "wet" patchouli joins in fairly quickly and blends with a sweetness produced by caramel. An aromatic, really marginally liquor-like accord of iris joins in.

- Surprisingly, the fragrance then takes a twist at the end and becomes significantly sweeter and warmer thanks to the bourbon vanilla, creating a contrast to the rather dark patchouli. At the same time, you notice the woody accents and a musk that smells slightly animalistic.

- The fragrance is a quick-change artist and goes through different, contrasting fragrance phases, as you can see, which makes the fragrance exciting overall for people who value the depth of a fragrance!
- The longevity is really in the top third, as is the projection; it's a really performant fragrance that doesn't run out of steam quickly.

Even though I can understand the comparisons to 17 Rosso quite well, I find Aqua Regia more exciting. With 17 Rosso, I find the mint and the rose to be the biggest differences to the fragrance.

Overall, a successful fragrance, but unfortunately not quite my style. Nevertheless, I appreciate the art and idea behind it! It's effectively a masterpiece, just not mine! In addition, it has to be said that my environment really reacted very divided to the fragrance; definitely test it and learn to love it.

Aqua Regia or the little brother of 17 Rosso

A brilliant DNA that Xerjoff has created, there's no other way to put it. A super pleasant, slightly spicy and fruity-caramel fragrance. Whether it's the big or little brother of 17 Rosso, you'll have to decide for yourself ;). But there are definitely parallels to 17 Rosso. Roberto Ugolini's 17 Rosso also has a mint and raspberry leaf note. I like both fragrances, but the Aqua Regia is slightly ahead for me
