Leather, candied fruit & gasoline
What a crusher!
Classically masculine, edgy and yet modern and elegant.
Sounds contradictory?
But it's absolutely attractive!
As we all know, like pretty much everything in life, it's a matter of both opinion and taste.
For my nose, this candidate certainly hits the mark, although I don't necessarily like leather accords in general.
But this one is different.
The "Homme Anniversary | XerJoff" - similar to its founder, the "Homme | XerJoff" - makes use of a very classic chypre base, which also forms the backbone of the fragrance.
The first thing that comes to mind is Diaghilev Parfum. At least it goes in that direction.
This wonderful vintage chypre vibe surrounds you for a good 8-9 hours when you wear this perfume. At the same time, the fragrance doesn't seem old-fashioned for a second.
To sum up, this is a leathery-fruity chypre that inevitably carries the basic DNA of its predecessor, but has been brought up to date with an update and new packaging.
However, that is by no means all.
The opening is sparkling, bright, although not refreshing, as you might expect from the notes listed.
As soon as you apply this fragrance, you get a sense of its depth.
So it starts off citrusy and herbaceous.
Leather is only subtly perceptible at first.
Similar to "Homme | XerJoff", what comes to the fore relatively quickly is a hint of petrol.
Not petrol in the direct sense, but rather the kind of petrol you think of when you imagine a garage with a few neat vintage cars that are also driven from time to time. The smell that wafts around your nose.
Leather seats.
Leather soft top.
Now the leather (I'm thinking of dark brown suede) comes more and more to the fore. However, it never becomes the direct star of the show throughout the entire process.
Rather, it is a very well interwoven construct that does not put any single component too much in the spotlight.
As it progresses, it becomes subtly spicier.
It also becomes more fruity and mossy.
Supported by the chypre-like backbone, the fragrance lasts in this quality for around 7 hours.
The "Homme Anniversary | XerJoff" is definitely not a fragrance that changes every few minutes. But it doesn't have to, and its wearer will appreciate this.
Rather, it shines with its multifaceted depth, which will happily accompany you throughout the day.
After said time (about a working day), the gasoline, fruit and leather recede almost completely, and what remains on my skin is a hint of chocolate and vanilla, bedded on the most subtle moss.
A clear test recommendation from me.
