Xerjoff Louis XV 1722 Rosé Review (2025) + A Toast to Spring Giveaway

Xerjoff Louis XV 1722 Rose

Spring always brings me back to rosé, but not the easy, forgettable kind. I’m talking about a glass that demands your sensory attention. Chilled just enough, poured somewhere quiet, where the first sip feels like a decision: the season has officially shifted.

That exact tension, between restraint and indulgence is what Xerjoff captures in Louis XV 1722 Rosé, inspired by Maison de Venoge’s Louis XV Rosé Champagne which marks the second chapter in the collaboration between Xerjoff and Maison de Venoge.

And if you’ve had it, you already know, this isn’t a polite rosé. I’ve only tasted the 2006 version and can only dream of taking a sip of the 1996 edition which I’ve heard has a “golden ripe” profile with honey and mushroom notes. The Champagne is known for its complex, red-fruit-dominant profile and luxurious, structured mouthfeel. It opens with precision. A bright, almost electric acidity cuts through first, cherries, strawberries and raspberry, but not in a candied way. More like fruit just before peak ripeness, still holding onto its structure. There’s a minerality snap to it. The next phase that follows, is not overly juicy, but rounded enough to soften the edges, giving the blend a kind of quiet generosity without tipping into excess, balanced with nutty, caramel, toast, and buttery undertones.

What sets it apart is the control. The florals of the flavor don’t bloom, their olfactory shadows hover over the glass. A suggestion of petals rather than a full expression. And underneath it all, there’s a dry, almost architectural backbone. A subtle woodiness that reins everything in, keeping the composition taut, deliberate.

The finish is where it lingers. Not sweet, not heavy, just a slow, creamy fade. A trace of something warm, slightly resinous, that stays close to the palate. It doesn’t ask for attention at that point, it already has it. Now, let’s deconstruct the fragrance.

I think it’s important to note that Xerjoff Louis XV 1722 Rosé doesn’t interpret the champagne but rather mirrors its structure. The opening is immediate. Blackcurrant and raspberry hit with that same lifted sharpness, almost sparkling in their delivery. It’s vivid, but controlled, no syrup, no excess. The pear smooths the transition, giving it that same rounded, almost textural softness you recognize from the glass. Then the florals arrive, but again, they don’t announce themselves. Geranium and rose move in quietly, diffused, almost translucent. This isn’t a rose that performs. It lingers, just enough to shift the composition without weighing it down.

The base is where it settles into itself. Cedarwood and amyris create that dry, structured frame, echoing the champagne’s underlying restraint. Musk pulls it closer to the skin, softening the edges, while vanilla adds a subtle warmth, not sweet, but creamy in a way that feels intentional, almost tactile.

It captures the behavior of champagne: the lift, the tension, the controlled release, the slow fade. Nothing spills over. Nothing feels accidental. Like the gardens of Versailles at sunrise, yes, but alongside romance, there is order, symmetry, and quiet excess held in check.

Notes: Blackcurrant, Raspberry, Pear, Geranium, Cedarwood, Rose, Musk, Vanilla, Amyris.

    The description of the champagne being part of the fragrance and music being mentioned was enough for me.
    The Rose and Champagne and other notes makes me want this one in my collection. I would love to win a bottle.
    Thank you for the opportunity. I live in Orlando Florida, USA

    I enjoyed reading that this captures the behavior of champagne and I’d love to try it. I live in Colorado USA

    A beautifully written review like this reminds me why the worlds of fine fragrance and rosé wine feel so naturally intertwined. As a wine judge and sommelier, I’m always struck by how a great perfume, like Xerjoff Louis XV 1722 Rosé, can echo the same nuance and emotional lift found in a well‑crafted rosé. Both invite you to slow down, savor, and let the sensory layers unfold. This truly feels like a toast to spring.

    I’m drinking rose this evening. My currants are blooming and the neighbors raspberries are creeping in to my yard. I’ve been on the search for a nice raspberry fragrance. I have one in mind, but I’d love to test this and see what else is available. Thanks for the info about this. USA.

  • mdellaroc says:

    What an interesting take on this particular champagne, not trying to duplicate, but using it as a latticework for the creation of the fragrance. Plus everything Xerjoff is stunning in and of itself, but to take creative direction from a masterpiece has to leave this fragrance in a category all its own. In Maryland.

  • David F says:

    I’ve been looking for another great rose heavy scent, this is it. No experience with xerjoff because of price but in my research they are expertly crafted and a niche status symbol. Rose is a great note especially when it has the metallic, musky freshness to it instead of oud or vanilla offsetting the balance. Would love to own and continue my current hobby/passion. From USA

  • RH says:

    I’ve had the pleasure of sampling this one at my local niche perfume shop, but I’ve never tried its inspiration. The perfume, however, is utterly lovely. Olya’s review perfectly captures the sophisticated romance of this one.

    Olya makes Louis XV 1722 Rosé smell like money, restraint, and seduction all at once. I love how the blackcurrant and raspberry sparkle without turning syrupy, while the pear smooths everything out like chilled champagne sliding across the tongue. The rose and geranium stay airy instead of loud, which makes it feel classy rather than overly romantic. What really gets me is that dry cedarwood and creamy vanilla base. It keeps the fragrance structured, elegant, and dangerously addictive. This feels like spring luxury with perfect control instead of trying too hard.

    Interesting comparison of this champagne and the fragrance inspired by it. I’m a very uninformed wine drinker, so I appreciate what a more refined taste can get out of the experience, and how that approach can extend to appreciating fragrance. I’m intrigued by the sparkling fruit notes here that hit with “no syrup, no excess” and the controlled structure that progresses to a woody cedar and amyris base.

    I haven’t had a drink in a long time, but if I were to drink again, it would definitely be a glass of Rosé Champagne. I’d much rather wear a perfume inspired by the champagne, though. Louis XV 1722 Rose sounds like a precise, balanced and always in-control perfume. I love that there is a sparkling raspberry note, but that it is not overly juicy. The floral notes are translucent, not heavy. And the cedarwood and musk add warmth. I love what Olya wrote–that excess is held in check.

  • opalbear says:

    This sounds lovely. I do t have many from this house but I do love my Irisesss. I love the color of the fragrance, I feel like it will have an effervescent lift to it.

    What appeals to me most about Olya’s review is the decision to deconstruct the actual champagne first — its acidity, its minerality, its slow creamy fade — before turning to the fragrance, so that by the time she reaches the perfume you’re already tasting the structural parallel rather than just reading a note list. The observation that the florals don’t bloom but hover as “olfactory shadows” over the glass, and that the same restraint carries into the geranium and rose arriving quietly, almost translucent, without announcing themselves, captures something genuinely rare in both winemaking and perfumery: the discipline to suggest rather than declare. Her final line about the gardens of Versailles at sunrise — romance alongside order, symmetry, and quiet excess held in check — is the kind of image that reframes everything you’ve just read and makes you want to go back to the top and start again. Olya has a real gift for writing about control as something sensual rather than cold, and that sensibility is a perfect match for what Xerjoff seems to be doing here. I live in the USA.
