Hello to the round,
this will possibly be a bigger review.... and for many reasons.
However, before I come directly to the
Purple Accento, times what possibly interesting up front. I had this fragrance already in 2018 to 2019 and I gave away jenen only because of a major swap and all the years I had every now and then a bottling, because he has not really let me go and at some point (from 2022 until recently) I forgot the
Purple Accento.... As it turned out, this was a very big mistake = a subtle misjudgment on my part, because I had forgotten how unique he is yet!
End 2022 I bought here in the Souk a flacon and was eigtl. mega happy - priced really ok, old batch (33520 X) and.... , it turned out already when unpacking = fake, after a lawsuit later I finally have a real one and now I can tell you exactly why he is so good!
To the fragrance:
He is ua. fruity and sweet + slightly creamy, if you hear that you might think many (also because of the name on -
Accento or
Erba Pura, all those who think that I can say directly actually NO! Yes has these moments of something sweet - fruity, however, this is to max. 10% so!
Why only 10%:
I'll be honest = never been a friend of both = absolutely not. Ever I got absolutely unattractive Vibe's (but which also have some here), in the sense of a very dry synthetic sweetness or tempo handkerchief Vibe's and the performance with me especially with the normal
Accento was never good and that despite all batches (when testing).
The fragrance can not only be reduced to this, but also has certain other moments, which is why I like the very much. YES he starts very sweet - fruity (not synthetic) and becomes increasingly creamy and after 4h I recognize even certain approaches of my Iris favorites (the "Shooting Stars - Apollonia | XerJoff" and the "17/17 - Irisss | XerJoff" ) this feeling, however, remains 2h to 3h and then it ends something like the (hold on!)
Layton Exclusif, there I mean this mix of the creamy musk, the gentle vanilla and the woody oud (and the
Layton Exclusif is still guaiac wood with, my favorite wood by the way)
Performance:
Who does not give the old batch (22 X and earlier) at least a 9 out of 10, phew difficult! If a fragrance 14h and more is noticeable and that is still there when you are already gone ;) then you have to give in my perception already min. a 9!
Is it worth the high price:
In this respect, it is really hard for me to say here YES or NO, the priorities and the requirements of a fragrance are different for everyone, as well as the purse ... - i say it times in such a way, if we say we have a certain desire on luxury products / smell products in the niche range then I find it difficult or completely honestly nearly senseless this as something negative to chalk. Nobody forces us to spend this. If you ask me now: Benny is it worth it? Then I say, if you want to spend it test and then buy it, but I recommend everyone to test it! You just have to experience this - the art of what is possible / can be.
BUT,
just now I looked again directly at Xerjoff on their homepage and they ask there 700€ (!!!) for the. Is he worth that? For me NO. If you find bspw. here in the souk times a restflakon - have also made nothing else!
Something else on the subject of batch:
To my knowledge (!) Xerjoff has to adjust all their fragrances according to IFRA regulations and the last major adjustment was 01.01.2022 to as far as I know 01.07.2022, after that everything fragrances were slightly different. Different from the development, performance and high quality. This please only take into account. I recommend to everyone and always the following, if it is financially possible for you, then buy a fragrance as close as possible u the day of its appearance.
Now still something general!
Now on the subject of luxury:
As you can see in my profile, I have really smelled many fragrances and there are fragrances because you smell a certain (partly) strong synthetics and you notice quite quickly that some fragrance houses rather go to quantity instead of quality and there are some where you just notice "oh come on we pack times more + better pure" and this you also smell at the end of the day! If I write here you notice the quality, then this is not even close to justice. My personal opinion (!), this level you have to reach first, DENN the
Purple Accento is a very very very different league as bspw.
Erba Pura ,
Erba Gold ,
Accento or
Kirkè Extrait de Parfum (only times on the sidelines.
Very briefly what about OVP, bottle, sprayer:
I make it short 10 out of 10 in each category and I know very well that tastes are very different. Who (of the 3 things does not rate with a 9 or 10 "THE IS THAT IN FULL SPRINT AGAINST THE REFRIGERATOR", so quite honestly, leather OVP, full metal lid, horny timeless Flakondesign.... so I do very hard to rate it differently and this I say not because a brand likes or not! I do not rate (!!!) the asterisks here or the purple cover, because whether you like it or not is relative!
Now something short on the subject of my opinion:
I am not sponsored, influenced by anyone, get money or anything else. The topic parfumo I go as I am, just honest, everything else is not mine. My real personal opinion is worth a lot to me and I hope maybe ;) that you notice this. If I do not like something like bspw. OVP, flacon, Sprayer or H/S, then I communicate this also!
If I really would not be convinced, I would not put you the heart!
(At least a test he is certainly worth times,
BUT very important pay attention to the batch, because as with PDM can more or less mean that the fragrance you test is another like the one I have + it is yes "unfortunately" known that the fragrances from a certain batch have decreased very significantly.)
And now a nice day / evening or always you read this review, LG the Benny
