Regio

By the editors · 2 min readRegio opens with a crisp lavender that feels barbershop-clean but never austere, lifted by bergamot and a grapefruit brightness that keeps the aromatic top from settling into convention. The lavender here is central but not solitary—it's given warmth and slight indolic richness by ylang-ylang, while cardamom adds a dry, faintly resinous spice that prevents sweetness from taking over.

As it develops, the composition reveals its classical bones: patchouli and musk anchor a structure that nods to fougère tradition without strict adherence. There's plum in the heart that rounds the edges, and vanilla in the base that softens without turning gourmand. The overall effect is polished and self-assured, a fragrance that knows its references but doesn't rely on them entirely.

This suits someone looking for refinement without austerity—a modern take on aromatic masculinity that works equally well in a boardroom or evening setting. It's composed, never loud, with enough complexity to reward closer attention.
