Warm Whisper, Unattainable Longing
I stand in the Xerjoff store, spray the fragrance on my skin, and suddenly everything around me becomes warm. A spicy, soft embrace envelops me, and I feel like I'm floating in a sensual cloud. Excitedly, I hold my arm under my
friend's nose: His pupils dilate, a grin spreads across his face: “This is the best I've ever smelled on you.” Yes, it is incredibly sexy, and in that moment I knew I wanted it: But it is sold out. Disappointed, I let myself be put on the waiting list.

At home, I open the website and quietly hope for a little miracle. Indeed, it is available, but the price makes me pause. I wonder if I really want the fragrance or if I am seduced by its rarity. Would I still find the scent so appealing if I could buy it anytime? I don’t know, so I decide to be more sensible and settle for decants.

Three decants later: I am still in love. The gentle softness, the warmth of cloves, which accompanies me like a quiet oriental spell. My partner calls it “Seduction in a bottle.” When I ask him if it really is that good, he leans in and whispers: “Sweetheart, it’s a dream… I’d love to pull you into the next corner right now.”
But every dream has its shadow. As beautiful as this fragrance is, it is so quiet on my skin. Ten sprays, and I almost lose it immediately. Even my partner has to admit: He only smells it when he is very close. A scent for intimate moments, not for the world outside. But for 1300 euros, I want to at least be able to perceive it. I long for more substance. More longevity, more sillage, and more performance. If that were the case, I wouldn't have been able to resist. If only… wishful thinking… It is what it is, and so all that remains is the longing for something that not only whispers quiet promises but speaks through actions.

The more oriental take on P.13 - Between Opulence and Overpricing
Here again, an utopian price
and the more oriental take on P.13,
but does this justify an additional €100 for a fragrance that is already over €1000?

I think we all know: Such a price can in no way be justified.

It reminds very much of the P.13, as the notes are also very similar across all three new Sketchbooks.

Here, however, you get a more floral oriental and less creamy DNA.

It feels a bit more luxurious,

sparkling,
the rose stands out more,
a really beautiful sweetness in the opening,

cooler and a touch more feminine in my opinion,

a bit more transparent with a balanced spiciness.

Powdery-floral,
Jasmine is noticeably more present
and gives the fragrance a touch
of noble and almost oriental soap.

Rose, however, remains the main act.

It does become a bit creamier due to the tobacco,
musk, and vanilla combination 
but by far not as creamy as the P.13.
Sweet, almost dessert-like on the verge of gourmand in the drydown.

The longevity on my skin is also somewhat stronger than with the P.13,

as is the sillage.
Here, the fragrance oil content seems a bit higher,
which could of course also simply be due to the molecular density,
even if that is not decisive.

Sweet-oriental rose open with a gourmand clove note. Core DNA of amber & clove (sweet-spicy-oriental). Surprisingly mediocre sillage.

Warm tobacco, enveloped in sweet resins, with a fine, spicy freshness. Elegance in a tailored suit, big cinema at a bigger price.

For me, it's a mix of
the seductive rose from Oud Republic
& Amber of all Blonde Amber.
Fun fact: I hurt myself on the bottle.

The most creative of the new trio. Sweet, unusual flowers (Ylang-Ylang, Tuberose, Jasmine) on a tobacco-vanilla-amber base.

Wow, sweet bubblegum vibes... very heavy floral... Tuberose isn't listed, but I can definitely smell it. The price is hot.

A truly fine, vanilla-sweet tobacco charmer. Stylish elegance! Unfortunately, the scent feels rather dull, as if a gray veil is over it.

delicate, creamy-floral blend with oriental undertones
in my opinion, more feminine
Has some similarity to P.13
Lovely
