  🇮🇹🤣 “That’s A…moron”🤣🇮🇹 ➡️ The Verdict: dusty iris, a light touch of peach adding sweetness, with a citrus spark in the opening that fades quickly, all sitting on a typical Xerjoff vanilla/musk/sandalwood base. It reminds me of “Shalimar Parfum Initial L’Eau”, though XXY is less feminine due to its reduced florality. Check the notes and construction of both to see the similarity; while writing this, I re-applied them to my skin. 🔎 Fans of Shalimar, Guerlain, and perfumes “of this type” will find something very familiar in XXY, though it’s boring and overpriced for what it offers. It’s not that it’s bad, it’s just what comes after. It adds nothing new and I’ve smelled this before. I prefer the Shalimar version because XXY in the dry-down phase ends up dusty and sweet without much development. In my opinion, it’s mediocre for the line it’s sold in, “17/17 Stone Label”, the brand’s most expensive offering. This could have easily come out in “Shooting Stars” at a third of the price because paying the ridiculous $700 for 100 ml is laughable. Good performance. Unisex with a slight feminine lean. Don’t let the bottle’s stone, Lapis Lazuli, fool you with how beautiful it is, and don’t let the ridiculous slogan from their ambassadors (or employees, or gang, whatever you want to call them) with their tagline: “That’s Amore” deceive you; for this offering (and many others), they should rename it: “That’s Amor…on” 🙊 I don’t see the quality being greater than Shalimar’s, no matter how hard I try. If I smelled them blindfolded without knowing them, I’d say the one that smells slightly better is… Shalimar. There are beautiful perfumes in Stone Label like: Pikovaya, Symphonium, Richwood. But XXY… it’s not one of them.
