Well, it is a heavy artillery fragrance. Make no mistake –
It’s powerful and complex. I was overwhelmed in the beginning, but then totally got into it.
Not for everyone because of its heavyweight. I smell smooth (wet?) leather , I imagined horses even before I saw the drawing on the bottle and…also it’s screaming (figuratively) “sex”…

Regio – a perfume of bygone era. Baroque is the first word that comes to my mind. 1600’s, Ball Masque in Venice. Venice is hometown to this guy. This is not a scent that you wear with jeans and a tee. This is not a scent for boys. This is a tailored look, white shirt, well dressed man in his early 30s. Best worn in fall, when temperatures drop, and you are ought to wear a sport coat and light scarf. Amazing amazing scent if you know how to wear it. Opens up with tons of citruses, classic Italian style, classic Xerjoff. Around 30-45 min mark, heart is coming out. And that, in my humble opinion, is where the magic is at. Masculine flowers spiced up with cardamom, slightly sharp but at the same time sweetened by Vanilla. During summer, becomes cloying, from start to base, not a summer scent. In winter, not as powerful, as low temperatures don’t allow it to warm up to proper temperature, but fall is where it shines. There is absolutely zero synthetics about it as i can tell, longevity with my perfume consuming skin was best at around 9 hrs, silage is fantastic as well. At first i was very uncomfortable getting into any closed spaces like public transport, it strangles everyone around at just 2 sprays. I never as well encountered anything quite like this one, so not a clone for sure. Sample first, def not for everyone, but right person will definitely appreciate.
References to hand cream and bad silage and so on and so forth is true, however, depends on a batch. It seems that before 2015, everything was much stronger, full bodied. after that mark, things watered down hardcore. Mefisto, what amazed me, laster on me 7 hrs from my original sample on a hot summer day! and too bad i was just stepping in to niche perfumery, and i didn’t grab FB. another sample set was absolutely horrid. like it was perfume sprayed water, no silage, no body, just smell that disappeared in around 2 hrs. i would be ok if price was reduced, but Xerjoff, come on! So thats that, done ranting.
Definitely try and think of that Italy…Venice…Ball.

I absolutely adored this when I first put it on. It immediately smelled expensive and luxurious. Sweet, aromatic and slightly fruity top notes bonded with a soft, sensual vanilla, ambrette and clean musk. I was really confident as I ambled around the streets in Rome’s Piazza Navona district, feeling as if I was smelling like an ancient nobleman on his way frim the Pantheon. However, as the heat of the day dried the perfume out, it became stripped if its magnificence, losing all the lovely aromatic sweetness it had at the beginning and instead became more floral and sharp. After an hour it began to smell very feminine and almost unrecognizable to what seduced me earlier on. It still smelled good, but no longer in a that dramatic head-turning way, just rather floral and polite.
Pity.

This is a beautiful Xerjoff creation. Instead of the typical amber bead of others xerjoff fragances, here we have an ambrette-carnation-plum bead. A retro chypre with an amazing citrus opening! I wish the citrus accord could last longer, but very soon after the application, all the ingredients come together in a happy and uplifting symphony. Joy in a bottle!

This does not agree with my skin. It smells like a wet cat
power007 – :
Smells like an extremely expensive hand cream. It is a really nice scent which provides an uplifting aura for the person who wears it. I can imagine a ride on the countryside with a vintage car when wearing this fragrance.

Regio is aptly named. It is bombastic, regal, plush. It calls to mind the decadent lifestyle of nobility, larger than life with a sillage to match.
Those talking of soap smell moods of lavender and lemon, but those brief agrestic dalliances are folded into deeper, richer rose, ylang, plum and other dark fruits. Built around an ambreine accord, Regio feels heady and spacious, and its musks and ambrette seed ensure you will be announced before entering any room, like all good royalty ought to be.

Opens up fresh and minty (geranium) and it feels high quality in the first minutes. Dries down pretty quick to an expensive soap smell. Nice and nothing more. The quality goes away as it dries down from great to meh.
5.5/10

Hmm.. Lavender and plumb notes. dry down is much better than the opening. mostly wearable on cold weather IMO, A must try but not for keeps..
alewski75954 – :
Very relaxing yet quite classical-smelling floral that comes close to vintage Ivoire by Balmain (dry herbs, meadow flowers), but less bitter and more creamy. It has that complexity of an old-school chypre, but it’s much more easy to wear, really a pleasure!
A true unisex, daywear friendly.
I really cannot find a single flaw apart from the very high price.

Top Note = Sparkling Grapefruit-Pomelo
As it calms down the vanilla is shooting quite fast like a rocket to shine up on top calming the grapefruit-pomelo mix and creating a Ylang-Ylang note in between, as in few minutes the geranium shows up hazy & blurry! and this by itself could fake up the lavender note!
Well… let say another normal fragrance from this line! nothing special unfortunately … as expected!

Good perfume.
Worth a try.
I do not know why people dont like this perfume.
Its a sweet summery fragrance with loads of energy in it.
It definitely uplifts the mood.!!
Xerjoff fragrances are class apart that is justified anytime !!
Regio lasted for 8-9 hours on me with good sillage…
Not expecting much sillage being a summer scent..!!
🙂

Another layover in Stockholm. Schtockholm. The terminal I arrive in is practically empty. Same terminal my next flight departs in 5 hours. There is a small smoking room next to the pub. Sweet. But hey . . . what is THAT?!
As soon as I get off the plane, I see the duty free has a parfum section with a sign above a special section stating “Haute Parfumerie”. 5 hours to kill. Let’s get to sniffing! The Good Stuff. Yummy.
They had a lot of the Penhaligon stuff, Annick, Different, and some other names I’ve read about on this site, and a few I’ve tried decants from LS / TPC. None of them were for me, for this reason or that. I’m very particular.
Then I met the Xerjoff line and kept going back and forth between Mefisto and Regio. I had five hours to hang out with the scents and drink a few beers at the pub. Smoke a few cigs. I must have gone back through The Haute 5 or 6 times while waiting for my next flight.
The Xerjoff packaging absolutely blew my socks off. The box and the bottle are both luxurious and somehow speak of Old World. The tassel on the bottle neck. Heavy gold cap in a unique “sultanesque” shape. The Regio bottle in particular is totally opaque black and made from thick heavy glass. Regio’s unique box artwork (each side is different) calls to the fact that there truly is a special treasure inside. I made my pick and the winner was Regio.
The smell? Classic. Classy. Royal. Old World. Natural. Citrus-Floral. It smells expensive. Quality. Smooth. Soft on the nose. There is a rich citrus opening that develops into a “strong enough for a man” floral heart. Lavender Love.
The projection is moderate and the longevity is good.
Glad to have it in my little collection.

Altough some of the members in this collection have a suspicious quality (mainly Mefisto, a fragrance with a deodorant aroma that i wouldn’t want even for free) , the Casamoratti is one of the few from Xerjoff that seems to combine a ‘good cost-benefit’ (well, in comparision with the other lines, specially sospiro and join the club) and an artistic quality. Regio is for me one of the standouts in this collection, being victorious in the requisites where the Sospiro Capriccio fails. First, Regio, different from Capruccio, seems sophisticade and richer and doesn’t remind you of any mainstream current fragrance. Second, it really has a retro aura that best translates the retro inspiration of Casamoratti line. And thirds, i see here a masculine floral fragrance, a rarity, that uses a spicy, camphor and sweet floral aroma that results mainly from the combination of a carnation accord with geranium, lavender and some kind of ylang fraction/accord. At the background, you can notice an aroma that switches between musky nuances, patchouli woody tones, incense and salty shades that reminds you of ambergris. Structurally, i suspect that Regio uses that same musk and patchouli accord found in Capriccio, but in another proportions. It makes me think of richness and harmony of fragrances from the past without fully sounding outdated. Marvelous.

I have to disagree with previous reviews. This is an exquisite scent, a master in its class.
It might not be to everyone’s taste though as it is not a modern scent, this is a true classic, to me it seems timeless and beyond fashion.
100% Divine.
Юлия1401 – :
here’s me taking the honors for being the first hater of xerjoff regio. While extremely well done, smooth and true to it’s notes list there’s something in the base or background here that I just can’t get past. It’s like a metallic edge paired with dry dusty ambrette seed and coriander. The citric floral top notes and musty base lack harmony making it smell quite dated and musty. Like someone sprayed citrus air fresher in a dusty old attic. Love the citrus, geranium and lavendar. Can’t stand the rest. There are better lavendar fragrances out there. Top of the heap lavendar is invasion barbare, it’s a powdery/green/vanillic lavendar fragrance imho it beats this hands down.

@ indult – This Smells Nothing Like SMW, I Think You Mean Mefisto
For The Perfume
Yet Another (Has To Be Said) Well And Uniquely Crafted Perfume But Not One For Me. Definitely Get The Citrus And Floral Notes Probably Best Suited For Spring.
Something Just Doesn’t Sit Right With My Nose Though…. It’s Like The Lemon Is Fighting The Flowers.
nft227InsuffBooni – :
Deja-vu, deja-vu, deja-vu! Good quality and moderatley sweet floral/oriental with a slight fruity/aquatic vibe and no other particular twists. Smells fine but, hoestly, it could be mistaken for most of the fragrances in the same vein. Anything but distinctive.
Same old story: at these prices, I expect something more than an anonymous fragrance orchestrated with good quality ingredients.
Rating: 6/10

Another Masterpiece from Casamorati 1888 by Xerjoff.
I completely adore this perfume. It has such a beautiful blend of such high quality ingredients that it is the one I always come back to. It has a wonderful citrus opening with bergamot, grapefruit, lemon blossom and lavender notes wich makes this a very warm, sexy and exclusive fragrance until the vanilla note appears and take you to a place called vanilla heaven. Outstanding!
