Coffeebomb Extreme
Since I own the bottle of Golden Dallah, crystallized in my collection a fragrance that can push Oud Wood Intense from the coveted signature throne and will. That the two fragrances are not similar, I think I do not have to clarify here again, because they are two completely different fragrances.

First of all, I would like to talk about the presentation of Xerjoff.

Whether in the cheaper collection like "Join The Club" or the more expensive "Oud Stars" collection, of which I own the Alexandria III, Shunkoin & More than Words, an above-average quality is consistently put on the day.

The bottle comes beautifully packaged, in a detailed cardboard box that hides a box covered in dark red faux leather. If you open this, the fragrance is protected with a silk-like paper.
The flacons of the "Coffee Break" collection have a wonderfully chosen red-black color gradient, whereby the bottle becomes darker and darker towards the bottom. In addition, the golden details + the solid gold metal lid...A dream!

After the long intro now finally times to the fragrance.

As soon as one frees the fragrance from its bottle, one is almost swirled around by many different spices, whereby one can smell out at a certain distance also already something cocoa, hazelnut & coffee.

The spices themselves I can not smell out unfortunately individually and with guessing I do not really get further.
In my opinion, the fragrance does not go through a great transformation. The spices warp after about 20 minutes and Golden Dallah now shows its real self.
With the combination of a frankincense note (not at all sacral smelling incense!), the roasted coffee and the all-known Rose-Oud duo it really leaves me speechless.
The incense together with the coffee makes perhaps a little too long roasted coffee beans and thus a stunning scent. That Rose-Oud together are a strong team, I think I do not have to tell anyone.
Amber I personally do not really perceive here. Maximum very, very far in the background.
The base of hazelnut, cocoa & tonka always resonates and underlines this great composition, although I can easily perceive the tonka bean only after several hours.

There is nothing wrong with the durability of the fragrance and so Xerjoff extends my daily coffee break to just under 9 hours. The sillage should not be underestimated in this fragrance in any case and should Golden Dallah accordingly carefully dose. The first 2 hours it radiates like plutonium in my opinion. Up to the 6 hour he becomes quieter and quieter and then you can perceive him only in close proximity.

For me, this fragrance is always an experience and I do not regret a cent that I invested in this.

Thus, Oud Wood Intense must unfortunately make room for a new fragrance after just under 4 months.

Thank you for reading and if you're looking for a gourmand, uniquely enduring coffee scent, you should definitely try Golden Dallah!

Coffee is only dangerous if a bag of beans falls on your head
This sentence is written on the coffee machine at work, which, by the way, dispenses very good specialty coffees that are surprisingly good for a vending machine.

Just by way of introduction and clickbait :D
As is so often the case with coffee scents: I don't perceive this one that well. However, I can sense it. It's there, but it's wrapped up. Nicely clothed, so to speak.
Next, hence the review, because I can't get this down in a statement: I perceive it differently at all. This is one of the fragrances I tested several times before I dared to comment. I realized that I need to get to know it better. That in itself is a good sign when it comes to fragrances, as I had a similar experience with the Shalimar EdP, for example. It's an indication of a complex, usually good fragrance.

When I applied it for the first time, I thought I had received something wrong. There is a green version (Green Coffee or similar), did I get that by mistake?
Another look at the bottle: yes, it is the Dallah.

I find it totally fresh and green. According to the chart, I'm the only one who has also categorized it as "green". The coffee note is subtle under this green robe. Gradually the spice comes through, but for me it's a fresh green fragrance, not too heavy or oriental, so wearable in all seasons.

Once again, Xerjoff has managed to create something that I, at least, have never before sniffed in this form. I like the fragrance for this originality alone. Nevertheless, it is a little overpriced, which I have to say for all my love. But well, you get an original fragrance in a very nice flacon, packaged in the typical Xerjoff leather coffin :D

A fragrance of superlatives with a big disadvantage
I have now worn Golden Dallah already 3x and must say right away that the scent is really perfect and really one of the best and most extraordinary perfumes is I have smelled so far / tested.

I will not say here so many words about the fragrance itself, because I find this simple, but at the same time perfectly implemented.

Golden Dallah really smells like a mocha coffee, which there is seht often in cities like Istanbul in zahlriechen small bistros. Golden Dallah has but still numerous spicy notes, which are but not clear to describe individually. A delicate framing of the whole forms a gentle note Oudnote.

The disadvantage of this masterpiece is but for me, unfortunately, that I just do not find a use for this special fragrance. In the office certainly not. In the summer also not. For normal celebrations also not, in the leisure too much of the good. Golden Dallah has such a strong sillage that it seems almost impossible for me to wear this fragrance.

It is really incredibly unfortunate that I can not find a use for this masterpiece.

Coffee? Are you there?
In search of a good coffee scent, I stumbled across the Coffee Break. The name alone has made me really curious and then also from the house Xerjoff. When the sample then arrived, it was time. Sprayed and tested. My first thought: Very spicy gourmandhaft eigt not even bad, but where is the coffee note? Test strip put aside and after 1-2 hours smelled it again. With the hope that the fragrance unfolds and lives up to its name. Unfortunately in vain... The coffee note came out very lightly, but the scent was still very gourmand spicy, the exotic spices and tonka bean were very much in the foreground, accompanied by the cocoa and hazelnut. I really liked it and understood why many liked it. However, I was slightly disappointed as I was expecting a coffee scent, with the name "Coffee Break" even a concise coffee scent.
Conclusion:
The fragrance is really nice in itself, has a good durability and sillage. However, the fragrance is in my opinion very far from its name. Who expects a coffee intensive fragrance here, is unfortunately disappointed. For all those who are looking for gourmandhaftige fragrances with the certain something, will appreciate the fragrance here :)

Spicebomb on steroids
Preface: this is my first review here.

Two weeks ago I wore the Golden Dallah for the first time. Just two sprays I had applied, because I have heard that this perfume is very strong. And indeed: At the beginning I was very overwhelmed and at the same time confused by the many intense spicy notes, which I could not classify all. After about an hour, I smelled out the rose and especially clearly the hazelnut. Thus, I associated this fragrance with Nutella. However, I didn't smell oud at all and coffee was hard to detect. Since I was at this time with my father in the car on the road, we got by the brute charisma relatively quickly headache :-D. Overall, the scent was to 10 hours plus perceptible and I have this even the next day a bit perceived.

This is the strongest fragrance I have smelled so far on me! Unfortunately, he is me personally too sweet and spicy / sticky and also find unfortunately no suitable situation for me to wear. For Gourmand fans, this perfume is probably paradise, because the performance and quality are really top!

A slightly smoky, yet oriental spicy-sweet Fall fragrance, balanced by a warm and sweet earthy-woody base. Realistic take on Arabian coffee.

The spices used aren't your typical spices. They are more astringent. Base is formed by woods (no oud) and amber. No nuts, coco or coffee.

Wears a lot softer than others from the coffee line. Distinctively more feminine too. Still, very beautiful fragrance.

Dominated by spices, with some tonka/almond. Clean oud in drydown. Good for layering as a base, but jury still out if this profile any good.
