Accento Xerjoff 2011

I was also totally unfamiliar with this brand. I had also labeled the fragrances as something for women and then the high price... crass! But Accento really piqued my interest. In the first 10-15 minutes, the fragrance smells to me like a mixture of Amyris and APOM by MFK. So fruity-citrusy with a hint of pineapple, but not as blatant as in Aventus. More like bergamot-lemon-grapefruit vibes with a slight kick and minimal bitterness (like Amyris). The mixture is just awesome! After 15 minutes, a beautiful iris note is added without the fragrance becoming too floral. Everything is mega balanced. Even in the heart note, Accento remains fresh, warm and spicy without any one note dominating. And the musk rounds everything off perfectly. So sensual and inviting to feel good, lean back and enjoy. I can't really pick out any other notes, even after the third test. It lasts around 7-8 hours and the sillage is also really good. I wouldn't have described the fragrance as loud either. More like elegant and chilled. The quality is absolutely top, there's no doubt about that. It's indisputable, simply awesome. If it were a hundred euros cheaper, it would be on my wish list immediately. To sum up: a mega classy and sublime fragrance that is suitable for both men and women. In my opinion, a total spring fragrance. If you like the special style of MFK, you will go crazy with joy here. But if you're more into fragrances with rough edges and a longer development, you might just find it "nice".
