Didn’t immediately intrigue me on blotter due to the sharpness of the bergamot. Once it settled into the sweet camphor of rose and eucalyptus I liked it. You need to be a patchouli lover to appreciate this one. Hours later all I smell is a beautiful musk. Really well blended, very interesting composition.

I didn't like this at first and up close. The eucalyptus seems out of place and it was patchouli heavy. However after trying it again I can appreciate it more. I get more rose which serves to balance out things out. I don't have much experience with this brand except knowing it's the "experimental" arm of Xerjoff. The prices don't lead me to believe this is any experiment. Maybe a more daring sister company. In any case I like this but don't love it. The ingredients are high quality and blending is good. A pleasant patchouli, rose, oud eucalyptus ,musk experience that feels half aromatic and half traditional oriental. Scent 6/10 Performance 7/10

Aqua Regia is a nice but slight Oriental woody composition and it is probably not amongst the best offerings of the Kemi line. The perfume opens with a really nice bergamot note that quickly leads to a Turkish rose which is surrounded by vanilla and eaucalyptus. As it achieves complete dry down a powdery base of patchouli, oud and vetiver is discerned. A composition in the modern chypre style, the perfume retains a light camphorous feel in spite of its heavy woody ingredients. Moderate sillage, projection and good longevity. This is a nicely blended juice and will appeal to those looking for a lighter more herbal take on the Rose Oud. Enjoy!

It is almost the same as Soleil De Jeddah and replaced the leather component with more oudy touch.

This is clearly the Howie D of the Kemi collection. Allegedly boasting 8 notes but only 2 were consistent(bergamot and eucalyptus). As a whole, the fragrance was just "there." What I'm trying to say is that the fragrance didn't do anything. It could've went the patchouli route, maybe a smokey direction given the vetiver and oud or perhaps give it that soft vanilla touch. Instead, you're left with a fragrance that's bitter-fresh which is not a problem. I mean..this is niche perfumery after all. Take all of the creative risk you want..but don't take that risk if your product end up smelling like a wearable version of Raid Ant and Roach killer spray(the country fresh version). As usual with these sort of shortcomings, the bottle is the brightest silver lining.

Good stuff. People in reviews talk about the eucalyptus but it just gives it another dimension. It comes off like a vetiver addition and its way in the backgrounds so not sure what the fuss is about. The Patchouli, Rose, Musky and hint of leathery vibe reminds me of ATH Oud. Although violet is mentioned as a note in the xerjoff version I don't see violet mentioned in the Kemi version and to me it does indeed remind me other fragrances with violet. Long lasting and unique so why not try it.

Shurah Pour Homme with a camphor vibe, and a bit easier on the nose. Very "pretty" masculine fragrance, if that makes any sense. For the price, I'd go with Shurhah Pour Homme, which is already a high quality fragrance. Aqua Regia most likely uses higher quality ingredients, and is a bit better blended. This does not smell like Ambergris Showers which IMO has a serious pencil shavings vibe. Extremely similar to Shurah.

If you’re a child of the 70’s like me, you probably have nostalgic associations with a then-common antiseptic called Sea Breeze. It was usually daubed upon a skinned knee by the same mother who had told you “go find some one to play with” two hours earlier. Your own children may say something like “oh daddy please don’t ever wear that around me again.”

I agree with The Wolf -- the eucalyptus does feel out of place, a little jarring. I also get what feels like a bitter citrus in this, and possibly something earth-rooty (vetiver, I guess). Slightly bitter, and if I'm being honest, a bit unpleasant. Probs won't need to try this one again...

Yeah it smells a LOT like Nur by SoOud upon initial spray that is followed by a rose/vanilla composite that adds something new to the formula and interplay's with the Nur DNA. A richer(sweeter)version of the well recognized blend.
