Golden Green: fresh, spicy coffee with powdery leather

This Golden Green is somehow reminiscent of a couple of scents. However, it’s the coffee note that you can feel ever so slightly, but strong enough to make it a wonderful and original scent.

So, there’s the nutmeg, cardamom and pepper that will initially bring to mind Sauvage Elixir. But from the very beginning, it is just that: reminiscent. Not similar.

Then, after 20 minutes I completely thought about the new Aquila Absolute . The heart of both fragrances contains the leather and labdanum accord. I first tested Aquila, and I wondered which might be that accord that, to me, smells like a pack of dried fruits has been opened for so long that they turned bland and powdery. Well, I can see now it is leather and labdanum. In AA, we get more of this powdery / sweet leather as it is complemented by the raspberry. Saint Rémy is more powdery on the leather, but the accord is the same.

Anyway, "Coffee Break - Golden Green | XerJoff" breaks with the protagonism of it thanks to the fresh coffee beans, and so it remains: Fresh, spicy, coffee, leathery, semi-powdery.

It is not a master scent, but it’s great enough and wonderfully blended to make me want to spray til the last drop, before I have to make the decision of getting a full bottle. I just might.

Dark, mysterious, and yet spicy and fresh

Xerjoff Golden Green starts with a burst of spicy freshness, and settles fairly quickly into a dry and dark musky cloud. It is really hard to pick out any notes, as it is blended so masterfully; it is a unique Scent unto itself. I do pick up some vetiver, coffee, and leather in the base, and on first spray there is a strong start with juniper and cardamom. Really unique offering from Xerjoff that smells nothing like I have tried before; the closest would be Sauvage Elixir but without any sweetness. One of the best from Xerjoff scent-wise and also performance. Severely underrated.

The Older Brother

Golden Green is sophisticated in a 90s fashion. The coffee note doesn't add any gourmand qualities to this fragrance whatsoever, but instead adds depth and further mystery to the composition. I am not saying that this fragrance is dated, but it is very formal however and extremely well done. This could easily pass as a Tom Ford release, as it's done in that fashion. Before Lauder's involvement of course. It's classic, yet modern. Much emphasis on the cardamom, leather and vetiver. The animalic notes were integrated prospectively, because this dries down without losing its initial personality. I see the importance of the role each note plays here. Golden Green is the matured older brother of Golden Mocha, as they have almost nothing in common other than a few rearranged notes and the unmistakable presence of coffee. They are quite literally night and day, but I personally find Golden Green more complex and enjoyable as it unfolds; and quite suspenseful if I'm to be honest. If you're in search of a GROWN & sexy, this will stand out in your collection effortlessly.

Fresh juniper with funky raw coffee

My third sampling from the Xerjoff Coffee Break is the most recent entry Golden Green from 2020 (after Golden Dallah and Golden Moka in 2018), which, like the others, has a slightly funky raw coffee vibe with a fairly robust bright and fruity side of juniper, pink pepper, cardamom, and musk. It almost smells tropical, with a guava/mango/papaya vibe that is sweet and green, but there are no such listed notes. It has a resinous side to it, as well, yielding a sort of funky cannabis-meet-fresh coffee center with fruity, sweet, resinous, and semi-spicy aspects to it as well. Overall, it’s pretty agreeable, still being more cold-weather-leaning, like other Coffee Break entries, while, like Golden Moka, being more versatile and year-round-friendly than Golden Dallah.

It’s my least favorite of the three Coffee Break offerings, but it’s still quite good, overall, being a quirky, neat mix (like the others) and coming off fairly unique; it does not immediately remind me of any other fragrances. It seems be sold only through the Xerjoff website for €197 for 50ml, in line with the pricing of the other two entries, but not via a US retailer. (Xerjoff ships fairly quickly to the US from Italy, though)
