Accento Overdose by Xerjoff

Tested with a sample. While I believe perfumes have no gender or age, Accento Overdose opens up masculine and settles into a unisex vibe. The opening is an aromatic floral-fruity mix with green notes; soon the aldehydes and flowers take over, with Damask Rose standing out among the whites. It settles in dark, honeyed, and very intense. It has a tiny dirty edge, perhaps from oud (even though it’s not in the pyramid), but it’s not annoying. There’s a hint of eucalyptus and pine, almost imperceptible, more visible at the end. It’s multidimensional; my mind compares it to Dior’s Oud Ispahan and Thameen’s Peregrina in certain phases (if you know them, though OI and Peregrina are more beautiful and elegant in my opinion), and with Franck Olivier’s Oud Touch, the more affordable version (which doesn’t mean it’s less beautiful; quite the opposite, as I own both and compared them). If you have any of these, there’s no need to buy AO, and besides, the ones mentioned are more stunning, while AO doesn’t bring much innovation. Excellent performance: over 24 hours on skin, even after a shower, and lasts much longer on clothes. On my skin, it projects strongly for the first 4 hours, then softens. Recommended to try before buying blindly.

White floral, juicy fruity, aldehydic, clean, elegant, and long-lasting. In the dry down, the green aromatic base emerges—subtle but present. The rose adds character and creaminess just right. Sweet without being cloying, with that soapy touch from the aldehydes. A dream of a scent, a masterpiece with modern brushstrokes from the old school. Lasts for hours and projects widely before becoming moderate over time. It easily becomes my signature scent; I wouldn’t mind smelling like this every day.

Sometimes it smells like Dama Bianca, other times like Mancera’s Roses Vanilla. It’s unisex thanks to that mentholated vibe reminiscent of ambergris, paired with a very clear aldehydic rose. The scent is linear and lasts all day, though the mentholated eucalyptus can be a bit sharp and strong at times.

It leans heavily feminine due to that wall of ultra-persistent white flowers that vibrate high. There’s a sharp pine and a hint of fruit, but nothing like Erba Pura or Erba Gold. It works year-round, but in spring, it looks absolutely incredible.

An absolute delight. The opening is quite feminine, but within half an hour, it shifts toward masculine, lasting and lasting… A true masterpiece by Cristian Carbonell with extraordinary scent and longevity.

An absolute delight! 😍 People look for similarities to other perfumes, but honestly, this doesn’t smell like anything currently on the market.

Bought it for my wife and she absolutely loved it. Great perfume, smells elegant, lasts a long time, and is gorgeous.
