Share what you noticed: opening, drydown, sillage and the moments when it works for you.
It became one of my favorites, but don’t buy it blindly like I did. At first, the opening felt artificial and floral, but once it dries down quickly, juicy pineapple kicks in and everything changes. It’s not for everyone—try it first—but it stands out because so few wear it. Many people go for Erba Pura or Gold, but if you’re looking for something different and bold, this is your street.
The first time I thought, ‘What expensive garbage is this?’. It didn’t work as I expected, but over time I realized it’s a beast of a perfume. Beyond the pretty bottle, it smells like real ingredients, nothing synthetic. It starts floral with jasmine and rose, giving off an ‘old rich lady’ vibe, then the flowers fade and soft fruits rise up—like pineapple but very subtle, nothing like Creed Aventus. It lasts over 12 hours on skin, even after showering. It doesn’t project like Erba Pura; it’s discreet and stays close, but in the heat, it comes out a bit more. The funny thing is, I don’t even smell it, but others do when they get close and give compliments because it smells amazing.
After trying several Xerjoff scents (though not all), I’m sticking with this one: an excellent fragrance, top-quality materials, a rich aroma, and longevity that stays with you.
I tried several Xerjoff fragrances and stuck with this one. It’s excellent: high-quality materials, a rich scent, and great longevity.
I’m convinced Accento deserves way more buzz than it gets. There are viral perfumes with no merit and others that are amazing but nobody notices. This is a beast in projection and longevity: I’ve worn it for over 14 hours on skin and 8-10 on clothes without doing anything. The scent is spectacular; if you like hyacinth, vanilla, and musk, this is for you. I rate it as unisex with a 55% feminine vibe. It smells clean, baby-like, relaxing, and happy, though it projects a lot and lingers everywhere. I got it at a great price, and it’s not one of Xerjoff’s most expensive ones. I highly recommend it; if you try it, you won’t regret it.
I think this fragrance doesn’t deserve its fame. There are viral perfumes with no merit and others that should be at the top. Accento is a beast in projection and longevity: over 14 hours on skin and 8-10 hours of sillage without any effort. The scent is spectacular if you like hyacinth, vanilla, and musk. I’d say it’s unisex, about 55% feminine. It smells clean, baby-like, relaxing, and brings happiness, even though it’s very noticeable and present. I found it at a good price; it’s not the most expensive in the brand. I recommend it a lot—if you try it, you won’t regret it.
Floral-fruity and clean, with excellent longevity and standout sillage. The opening by Mr. Maurice is great.
Floral-fruity and super clean, with longevity and presence that never fail. The extraction from Mr. Maurice is top-notch.
I wore it for several months; it was my first Xerjoff, and the quality and presentation are top-notch, but be warned: it’s not my favorite. It’s not a bad perfume; on the contrary, it’s excellent, but if I run out, I wouldn’t buy another bottle. The scent doesn’t blow my mind, but it’s very unique; you can smell the pineapple, but nothing like Aventus. It’s more fruity-acidic than sweet, with green notes and some floral-musk undertones (jasmine and hyacinth at the start), light spice, and lots of iris. Longevity is 6 to 10 hours with 4 to 8 sprays. I bought it on impulse and didn’t get hooked before, but now I like it more. Ideal for spring or summer—fresh, fruity, floral, and refined. Great formula by Carbonell and Laura.
Two months ago I visited a niche perfumery in Buenos Aires, and the security guard at the entrance smelled amazing. He was wearing something very masculine and clean; I asked what it was, and he said it was Xerjoff Accento and they had stock. I went in and asked the sales associate to let me try it. When she sprayed it on my hand, I noticed it felt more feminine. I mentioned that the guard smelled it very masculine, and she told me that up close it feels feminine but from a distance it’s masculine, which I confirmed when I went back to the guard.
Two months ago I went to a niche perfumery in Buenos Aires, and the doorman smelled incredible; he was wearing something very masculine and clean. I asked what it was, and he said it was Xerjoff Accento, which they had in stock, so I went in. When I tested it on my hand, I noticed it was more feminine. I told the doorman he was wearing it and it felt masculine, and the saleswoman explained that up close it smells feminine but from a distance, masculine, which I confirmed when I approached the doorman again.
Never heard of this fragrance before, even though videos called it one of Xerjoff’s best, until I spotted it in a store. Since they don’t carry many niche scents here and don’t allow testers, I only smelled it from the bottle. That powdery, earthy pineapple with a hint of acidity was a hit for me; it’s like mixing Carolina Herrera Sexy Man, Prada L’Homo, or Chanel Chance with a dose of sweet and sour pineapple. It has great power and quality; personally, I love this kind of musky and fruity fragrance. One or two sprays last all day with good projection, and for evening wear, 3-5 is perfect. It’s neither feminine nor masculine—it’s unisex. If you like Erba Pura, this is less sharp, less feminine, and less intense (I can’t handle Erba Pura’s strength). I’ll keep testing it and will update. Edit: At first, I smelled the pineapple in the background, but after wearing it more, it became the star alongside the musk and lots of jasmine; it reminds me of a pineapple shampoo or a pineapple smoothie.
I’d never heard of this before; I only saw videos calling it one of the best Xerjoff fragrances, but without interesting reviews until I found it in a store. Since they don’t carry many Xerjoff scents here and don’t allow spraying, I could only smell it from the bottle. That powdery, earthy, slightly acidic pineapple was amazing; it’s like mixing CH Sexy Man, Prada L’Homo, or Channel Chance with sweet and sour pineapple—very potent and high quality. I love musky and fruity fragrances. With 1 or 2 sprays, it lasts all day; 3-5 for night. It’s unisex and less sharp than Erba Pura (which I don’t tolerate much). The pineapple started in the dry-down but is now the star alongside the musk and jasmine; it smells like pineapple shampoo or a smoothie.
It feels special among ‘skin scents’. It’s that typical synthetic white musk (not bad) but with interesting nuances. At the start, there’s a tiny hint of pepper heat, followed by lilac flowers like watercolors and something astringent, which I imagine is the pineapple. It stays right on the skin the whole time, lasting about 7 hours. It’s unisex for all seasons and occasions. It’s pleasant and original in its style, but it doesn’t have much to highlight. In my opinion, the price is ridiculously high for what it offers; there are musks costing less than one-tenth the price that perform just as well. Pleasant: 6/10, Interesting: 6/10, Versatile: 10/10, Original: 8/10.
Here’s my review of this beautiful perfume. Xerjoff always demonstrates its quality and class. The bottle has a very elegant violet velvet, though the rigid box doesn’t follow the aesthetic of other lines. What matters is the juice: powerful opening, a blend of ripe citrus fruit (pineapple in syrup), floral, vanilla, and earthy touches. It’s like mixing Silver Mountain Water and Comandante by Xerjoff. Result: a fruity, woody, and spicy perfume you’ll love. I see it for spring and summer nights. It’s elegant, unique, and unisex but with a slightly masculine touch. Ideal for formal or semi-formal wear. It has excellent sillage, projection, and longevity, lasting over ten hours. Scent: 9/10, Sillage: 9.5/10, Projection: 8.5/10, Longevity: 9/10.
