Regio

Regio by Xerjoff presents a bold, opulent character that evokes the grandeur of 19th-century European aristocracy. The opening unfolds with a vibrant fusion of citrus—bergamot, grapefruit, and lemon blossom—coupled with aromatic herbal notes, most notably lavender and geranium, creating a fresh yet complex introduction. This quickly deepens into a rich, spicy floral heart dominated by carnation, plum, rose, and ylang-ylang, lifted by cardamom and cooled by a subtle lavender note. The base is warm and enveloping, built around musky ambrette, vanilla, and patchouli, lending the fragrance a distinct earthy sweetness and a slow, lingering drydown that becomes musky and slightly fougère-like. Though some report it becoming overly sweet or indistinct later, it consistently displays excellent longevity and moderate to strong sillage, making it suitable for colder months and more formal or evening wear. Fans praise its authenticity, craftsmanship, and dramatic presence, while others find it intense, uneven, or reminiscent of overbearing classic fragrances like Black Orchid—and it definitely requires air and space to properly unfold
