Red hot chili...
After the BRILLIANT Insense, Givenchy offers this as an encore. It was worthy of its own name. I love Xeryus in its original powerhouse presentation. This should have been called Montezuma. Its unusual exotic composition seemed rather "PreColumbian".
Xeryus Rouge opens with qumquat-a strange cactus fruit that I want to last a bit more. The tarragon/mandarine notes take us to the genius heart of a red hot chili! Its big, spicy and if you are, not careful, may make you sneeze. The sensation on my skin is warming. It is offered much more intense than Opium PH and is probably the reason for reformulation. I find the original highly clever and daring. Its anything but a flanker...
The syrupy sweet vanilla/cedar closing is as gourmand as it gets. Adding chocolate would have been the ingredient to define it as Aztek. Indeed, it works well in the heat. It projects far and was quite seductive.
