Xerjoff pays homage to Tony’s Italian roots with tantalising top notes of bergamot from Reggio Calabria, rum, Bulgarian Geranium and passion fruit, opening to cinnamon, Bulgarian rose and patchouli at the heart. Australian sandalwood, ambergris, vanilla, Tonka bean, caramel and musk are at the base."
Fragrantica - "Very dark mysterious absolute masterpiece of a fragrance. It literally smells like a guitarist wearing a leather jacket and playing with the guitar. It’s definitely not for hot weather or sunny days its an occasion type of fragrances you can wear it on a wedding or maybe a party you can also wear it on a night out. Masterpiece ABSOLUTE 10/10."
Fragrantica - "This is the only fragrance I had to buy immediately after trying a sample. I was desperate. It’s so rich and captivating, nothing smells like this masterpiece. This is the ultimate cold weather fragrance, mysterious and dark, evoking the curiosity of those near you. This beauty goes through multiple stages from the top notes to the base through the drydown."
Fragrantica - "One of the the most sexiest things on the market . No doubt. Rum,caramel, vanilla ... its so addictive. Projection 9/10 (because 10/10 will be suspicious haha). Actually the sillage really surprised me. I thought it would be nothing special at all but guess i am totally wrong . This is sexy beast guys . Its not moderate perfume. Right now im feeling sorry i buy only 50 ml lol . Is it blindbuy ? Yes !!!! I dont know how its possible to dislike this ... Its like Chris Hemsworth and Margot Robbie in a bottle."
Fragrantica - "Spicy rum and florals at first. Love this part. Creamy sweet vanilla hemmed in by leather and tonka. Settles in at a musky wood. That boozy rum and sweet cinnamon never leaves. Lol I smell like I'm at a nice bar, sitting in a leather chair, drink in hand. I swear there's tobacco too, to complete the scene. Probably just the tonka. Sexy as f***."
Fragrantica - "This fragrance is a force of nature. This will take some getting to know. Not blind buy safe."
