I don’t like it; the incense note is very marked, very long-lasting, and heavy, over 8 hours.
I didn’t like it; the incense scent is too prominent, too heavy, and lasts more than 8 hours.
To me, it’s more of an incense perfume, nothing special. It’s a fairly ecclesiastical incense that reminds me of Oriza L. Legrand’s Revé d’Ossian, though that one is more intense and complex. On my skin, Zefiro is simple: a spicy, linear incense smell, quite soft. Longevity is good, but projection is moderate. I bought a decant but don’t believe in a full bottle. Scent 7, Longevity 8.5, Projection 6, Value/Quality 4.5, Originality 6, Versatility 7.5, Overall 7.5.
What a letdown. In a video, someone sold it as the current fougère, but I imagined something resinous with a green, woody, and powerful twist; that person doesn’t know how to use the term. I’ve been working with essences for months and now smell better. To me, it smells like AE Cinnamon (leaves) and benzoin—a mix of buttery cinnamon and vanilla-resin that fades to skin-level very quickly, just like the Xerjoff. What is true is that it smells very natural, so much so that I quickly associated it with those materials; maybe the top note comes from that, because commercial perfumery smells synthetic and the jump to natural is noticeable. It wouldn’t seem bad if it didn’t fade to skin-level so fast (the disappointment stems from expectations) and if I hadn’t wanted a less distinctive, more blended accord with its own identity; for me, a good perfume should be slightly enigmatic, like MFK’s Oud Satin Mood, where the result is more than the sum of its parts. Maybe the decant was fake (I don’t think so, it’s a big company, not an individual), but the listed notes seem like a mirage compared to what you receive. Another Xerjoff is coming up soon, I hope that one (Naxos) doesn’t disappoint.
Totally agree; it’s not a walk in the woods, and I can’t call it a fougere because what stands out most is the incense. I just received it and will test it to provide more details.
What a letdown. In a video, someone described it as the current fougere, and I imagined something resinous with an aromatic-green touch and potent, but that person doesn’t know how to use the term. I’ve been wearing many essences for months and now smell better. To me, it smells like AE Cinnamon (leaves) and benzoin: a mix of buttery cinnamon and vanilla-toned resin that stays right on the skin, just like Xerjoff. What is true is that it smells very natural, so much so that I quickly associated it with those materials. Maybe the high rating is for that, because the jump to natural is very noticeable compared to synthetic. It wouldn’t seem bad if it didn’t stay so close to the skin so quickly (the disappointment comes from expectations) and if it weren’t so identifiable; a good perfume should be a bit indistinguishable, like MFK’s Oud Satin Mood. Maybe the decant was fake, but I don’t think so; it’s a big company. The listed notes seem like a mirage. Another Xerjoff is coming soon; I hope Naxos doesn’t disappoint.
I have to disagree with some previous comments. Taste is subjective, and this is very complex. It has a familiar vibe but is very unique. The opening is well-packaged and reveals its nobility in seconds. Wood, resin, amber, cinnamon, and incense are noticeable at first and gain strength as it settles; it reminds me, respecting the distance, of the ecclesiastical side of Loewe 7. After a while, the whole orchestra plays: a sweet, liquorish base with a citrus touch, and when the iris blooms, it adds a lot of elegance. I loved it; it has class and you can tell it’s high quality. The trail is moderate, almost heavy, but it stays like an English lord: you get noticed without being loud. Perfect, timeless, and sophisticated. For any occasion, ages 30 and up. Scent 9/10, Trail 7.5/10, Longevity 5.5/10, Projection 6/10.
Just arrived and already tested it. I was really eager to try something from this Italian house. The first thing that hit me was the cinnamon, even though it’s in the base; it smells like spicy cinnamon with a touch of incense and some citrus. I was impressed by the quality; you can tell the level is high, but the scent didn’t quite convince me. I thought it would last longer and project more given how spicy it is, but the projection is moderate, and after 5 hours, I can only smell it on my skin. I’ll keep testing it; I don’t know if it will disappoint, but for now, I don’t think it’s worth the price considering the quality.
If you wear incense regularly, this smells a bit light, like a spring-summer scent. It’s not as intense or annoying as Xerjoff’s Luxor, which brings me memories of Good Friday; here it’s more like a piece of candle found in a church, with that powder of incense and dark altarpiece woods. Ideal for those starting with incense and looking for something comforting. The longevity and projection are very good, just like Xerjoff. I have it in my collection and would always buy it again.
It’s an almost identical clone to Reve d’Ossian by Oriza L. Legrand, though this one smells a bit sweeter. For me, it’s a mix of cinnamon, with a sweet touch and an incense note. It puts me very at ease. 8/10
Zefiro delivers on all its promises: it’s the ‘Ancient Rome’ of the XJ 1861 collection, the boldest, strangest, and most niche, with a mystical and ancient vibe. Upon application, cardamom and white wine dominate with great force, adding that alcoholic and aged touch that smells like the inside of a glass the day after it was served, while the ever-present incense gives an ecclesiastical air that blends perfectly with old, damp woods. Over time, it becomes more incense-heavy until the late dry-down where the woods take over. The longevity is excellent, surpassing 7 hours on skin and projecting well for the first 3. The total aroma transports me to a Roman temple with wine on the tables, old wooden seats, incense on the walls, and an ancient aura. I love it as an olfactory experience, though I wouldn’t wear it myself, but it certainly grabs a lot of attention.
Zefiro conveys everything it sets out to evoke: Ancient Rome. From the XJ 1861 collection, it seems the most challenging, strange, and niche; it’s mystical and ancient. In the opening, cardamom and white wine are noticed with great power, giving an aged alcoholic nuance, like when you smell the inside of a white wine glass the next day. The incense, present all the time, is of an ecclesiastical style and blends perfectly with old, damp woods. The fragrance becomes more incense-like over time until, in the late dry-down, the woods take over. Longevity is excellent, surpassing 7 hours on skin, and it projects very well for the first 3 hours. The whole thing evokes a Roman temple: wine on the tables, old wooden seats, incense on the walls, and an ancient aura. I like it as an olfactory experience, but I wouldn’t wear it; yes, it grabs a lot of attention.
It’s a very particular scent, like an antique piece of noble wood that has stored jars of honey and grains of incense. I love woody perfumes with incense. Zefiro is good, but proposals like Woody Mood by Olfactive Studio feel easier and more pleasant to wear for me.
This scent is very peculiar. It smells like a very old piece of furniture made of noble woods, where jars of honey and grains of incense were stored. I like woody perfumes with incense. Zefiro is good, but proposals like Woody Mood by Olfactive Studio seem easier and more pleasant to wear.
If you like incense perfumes, this Zefiro by Mathieu Nardin for Xerjoff is a cult Italian niche (top-notch ingredients, style, and performance; not a beast mode that fills rooms, with medium-long lasting power around 8 hours, moderate sillage of about half a meter for a couple of hours, total exclusivity, and a mid-to-high price) featuring a charming caramelized touch. It’s like an unreformulated Bentley for Men Absolute mixed with some Obsession for Men by Calvin Klein and the 2023 Gucci Pour Homme—that is, an incense blend with excellent cinnamon, cardamom, floral notes, soft woods, amber, and honey that makes it addictive, elegant, mature, and seductive. Of course, it’s not and won’t be for everyone or the latest trend, but to me, it’s one of the best from Xerjoff. Versatile, though I see it as elegant and better suited for fresh weather. Totally unisex, though leaning more masculine.
If you love incense perfumes, this Zefiro by Mathieu Nardin for Xerjoff is a cult Italian niche with top-tier quality, style, and a solid medium-to-long lasting power of about 8 hours. It’s not a beast mode that fills the room, but rather has a moderate trail of about half a meter for a couple of hours, offering total exclusivity and a mid-to-high price point. It has a charming caramelized touch. Think of it as a Bentley for Men Absolute original mixed with a bit of Calvin Klein’s Obsession for Men and Gucci Pour Homme 2023: an incense blend with amazing cinnamon, cardamom, floral notes, soft woods, amber, and honey that makes it addictive, elegant, mature, and seductive. It’s not for everyone and won’t be the latest trend, but it’s one of the best Xerjoffs. It’s versatile, elegant, and better suited for fresh weather. Totally unisex, though leaning more masculine.
A true niche perfume, all the way. Ideal for those over 30, not for the young. It’s a soft incense that reminds me more of Loewe 7 Anónimo Cilíndrico, with a marked grape note like a good white wine. For special occasions, day or night, totally masculine. Longevity and projection are average; it’s not beast mode, but you can smell it for hours. I recommend trying it before buying.
Zefiro smells like the Vatican: incense, woods, books, and codices. Elegant, mature, classy, with powerful projection and longevity. It’s pure niche; you won’t find it in designer brands. Try it first and take a walk through imperial Rome for the full experience.
Cinnamon on the skin is brutal; I was looking for something different from the usual. A bit dense for heat or daytime, but at night it’s a bomb that covers any other scent. A bit pricey, but it’s worth it; it smells different.
Zefiro starts with a spectacular and very recognizable white wine, but unfortunately it fades quickly, leaving an incense and spicy trail (I detect cinnamon and cardamom). It reminds me a bit of Malaga Santa with that ecclesiastical touch, although this Xerjoff is lighter and more versatile. In my opinion, it’s a good perfume, but the type I gravitate toward. The opening promised too much, and it was disappointing that it didn’t blend better with the rest of the evolution. From the Italia collection, I see it as the weakest within a quite good line. Note: 6/10 Tested with an official sample from the brand obtained from Twisted Lilly.
It’s the hidden gem of the collection: elegant and brutal. At first, the incense and cinnamon hit hard, but then they evolve into a sweet woody base where everything blends into something spectacular. The iris is there, subtle and fresh. Although it says white wine, what dominates is the bergamot; the wine becomes invisible due to that acidity. In short, incredible quality and a very distinct scent. I’ll have to keep testing the line to confirm if it’s truly underrated, but I think I’m right: 10/10.
