The story behind the bottle.
Aqua Regia by Xerjoff was launched in 2023 and is a composition that marries the crisp freshness of Calabrian bergamot with the depth of leather and woods. Created by perfumer Chris Maurice, it opens with a bright citrus-aromatic accord before transitioning into a heart of violet and orris root, adding a subtle floral warmth. The base notes of caramel, patchouli, cedar, musk, and vanilla create an enveloping warmth that feels both luxurious and intimate.
Aqua Regia is best applied in two sprays — it blooms gradually over time. The top notes are bright but fade within an hour, giving way to the warm base that carries the scent for hours. It reads better close to skin rather than across a room.
