Whatta man, whatta mighty good man
I love my old-fashioned style of masculine perfumes. Clean, soapy, a bit of a bite from cloves and vetiver. So no surprise here, I immediately loved this.

The thing with Xerjoff Homme is, it’s scent is layered on a thick base of what I call “the freshly polished black leather shoes” scent. That makes this so beautiful and unique. At least I haven’t smelled it anywhere else besides the Anniversary edition, which I’ll review later on.

I don’t want to get all emotional here, but this really reminds me of my dad, who sadly isn’t around anymore. He was a hard working man, getting his hands all dirty with grease all day. When I was younger I remember him getting home, smelling a bit like petrol and washing his hands with this garage-soap as he called it. A weird smelling type of grainy soap. Then he’d dress up a bit, polishing his shoes. We didn’t live in this throw-away society back then. I really get flashbacks of that time!

What I don’t like about the perfume though, is two things. The price and the performance. It’s top tier stuff we’re talking about here, 400€ for 50ml retail. It’s a good scent with some sillage but it easily gets overpowered. If you’re wearing this at a party, it’s gone. Best to keep it for date nights I guess. I do enjoy it casually as well but it’s just too special and expensive for that.

compliment king
At first when i tried this one i was like, hmmm xerjoff is one of my favorite it must be good, but the price was killing, i was likee “whattt around €500 for a 100ml bottle?? Then this must be a boooomimg perfume”
So i tried. It was good i loved it, but still i was like “hmm so much money just for one perfume “.
So i ordered a decan of 10ml And i really started to love this one, every time i used this perfume people around me were like “dammmm what perfume are you wearing ?? You smell PERFECT “ and im not talking about one or 2 times of a compliment, like many many times people were like walking to me to ask what perfume i was wearing, so this one is a hell of a compliment getting perfume. Finally i got the bottle and still very very happy with this one. So for me this is a Big 10+ perfume.

High-end barbershop
Had the opportunity to test this one for the first time & fell instantly in love with. This is a classical smell barbershop or at least almost…or just a say a barbershop in London or Monaco. I see the comparison with in what people mentioned earlier “typical barbershop” but Homme xerjoff is way elevated i must say. The citrus/clove/vertiver with the woody/leathery is the common formula for saying “barbershop” but Homme Xerjoff doesnt go that far to the point of “irritating sourness”’ where most people find their comparation with “just a barbershop smell”. I love the freshness in this and it doesnt go that sour from the aftershave in the barbershop. This could me my summer scent. Very elegant and masculine. You will get noticed & compliments from this one. Its in the same range as Cuir Cannage dior, Amouage Beachhut. Citrussy + masculien freshness like you just overpayed a barber 200€ but with selfconfidence . If i’ll go to South of France this summer…this will be my companion for ️

Manly & Classy
A fragrance that exudes macism. For the entire duration of the fragrance you're hit with a wall of rough, industrial and very petroleum-based leather, initially softened by citrus notes, then in the heart by lavender and cloves and in the end by woody hints in the base. It reminds me of various things, especially the scent of a new car interior or the smell of a new pair of leather shoes with a vibram rubber sole. It shares similarities with Pikovaya dama or Puredistance M, both inspired by great compositions of the past. Composition with a retro charm that did not convince me enough, no wow effect especially considering the price

I do not understand
maybe I don't understand it, but this to me tastes like fake dry leather and petrol / gas. if I were to buy a leather garment with this smell I would not. it's not a bad scent, but I admit I don't understand this almost synthetic effect on my nose (although I don't think so) I wouldn't honestly recommend it.

EDIT:

various attempts have made me appreciate it. Dry, spicy and very masculine leather. Modern chypre with a dusty twist

Powdery lavender, earthy Iris, light, tasteful leather and a resinous cola curveball. The price is steep, though very justifiable for some.

I get the “old money” refs. It’s fresh in the opening and dries down straight to classy dude with polished shoes and pomade in hair.

Mostly a spicy-leathery-woody scent. Has some powdery/floral/semi-soapy tones in the top, but dries boring. Some MV Agusta, some Decas imo.

Extremely posh, expensive, vintage smell. Rough leather with a green, powdery woodiness underneath. 100% for a much older gentleman (50+)

Exactly, very masculine. Dry. Leathery, bit spicy. Slightly mechanical alike ?

Leather, tar, animalic musk... dark and ominous like an oil refinery at midnight. Deep, intense and very masculine.

Oldschool trifecta, Carnation, Civet and Leather, that's what I get. Same style as Kouros, however a bit more green and more elegant

First herb-citrusy spice soap
Then it opens up
smoky-tar oily, clove warm, lavender herbal & soft gentleman leather
One of the best XJ's

Clear parallels to Knize Ten, but here more birch tar, more spices, making it less warm, more earthy, masculine: the best Xerjoff.
