Share what you noticed: opening, drydown, sillage and the moments when it works for you.
For me, it’s a dream perfume: right out of the bottle, a sweet orange with fig leaves dominates, followed by the valley lily and a spicy hint of cinnamon that gives it an sophisticated, spiced vibe. Hours later, a creamy sandalwood with amber, vanilla, and incense wraps around you, leaving a bright and powerful trail. It’s a fantasy on the skin, full of mystery and memory.
I love this type: it’s unique, uncommon, and hard to clone. It opens citrusy with cinnamon, but as it dries down, it turns spicy, vanilla-like, and sandy. The sillage is elegant and silky, very huggable. Beautiful, worth collecting with Xerjoff’s quality. I see it as more unisex-feminine, but it could be unisex; ideal only for autumn-winter, on cold, nostalgic rainy days. It evokes the start of a symphony that becomes deeper and softer to the soul. A 10/10.
A spicy fragrance where cinnamon, amber, and incense reign. It opens with orange and vanilla, gradually revealing sandalwood and Bulgarian rose. It lasts 3 hours, but what lingers is a soft, clean skin scent, vanilla-laced. I feel it’s unisex in every sense: attractive, enigmatic, addictive, and nothing casual. Velvety and mysterious.
Perfect harmony in the notes. 👏👏👏👏👏
High-end fruity. For my nose, the star is the orange: sweet but not overpowering. Very balanced; it comes across as a distinct blend different from the notes on their own. Although it says orange, it’s not sharp citrus, but a vanilla-infused fruit with a woody body. It’s not particularly elegant, but it’s versatile and perfect for cold weather.
