400 XerJoff 2018

A Xerjoff from 2018 and still without a review? Very unusual. Well, then I have to contribute as a lazy writer probably a few words. Actually, you can almost make up the from the various statements, but a little bit of detailed text should be granted.

He starts very floral-citrus-fruity, for me rather something harsh and difficult to distinguish. This start has unfortunately something bathroom cleaner charm. Not the citrus bomb, but something with flowers. This attack fortunately subsides after a few minutes. If honey is there, it goes down rather.

The heart, on the other hand, stays for quite a while. The citrus has faded, quite strong flowers of the white variety dominate. Rose I smell not at all to minimal, the orange blossom actually appreciated by me also holds back very much. In addition to ylang-ylang, I would also suspect jasmine, even if that does not appear in the notes. The background is supported by light sweetness, the honey seems to have saved itself into the heart. The heart phase with the strong floral dominance lasts a long time. Exact time can not be said, because the change to the base is very slow.

With time, the flowers take back a bit and the fragrance becomes softer and I find also more complex. A very delicate but recognizable tobacco leaf note is supported by some vanilla, also the honey seems to persistently but discreetly. For me, the most beautiful time of the fragrance, because it shows a complexity and interwoven. Whether this is then already the base or a late development of the heart note may everyone decide for themselves. If heart, then this is a long heart phase.

After 3-4 hours, the flowers are obviously somewhat exhausted and you can also sniff a slightly woody base. However, the aforementioned base notes gaukeln a much stronger woody base, the whole is rather restrained woody and shows no dominance of vetiver or patchouly. Quite withdraw the flowers, moreover, not.

Overall, quite a successful fragrance with interesting development. Me personally too blossom-heavy especially for daily use, so there is no exuberant rating. Tends to be rather feminine (if you want to stay with the classic classification). You should definitely like blossoms, then it is definitely worth a test. The blooming phase längt long and is really very successful after the first attack.
