Known as a fragrance itself, especially as a perfume
The Nero70 is probably the first fragrance with a velvet bottle that I have ever liked from Xerjoff. After a really long search for a bottling, I eventually found an offer for this exclusive and was able to get hold of a bottling.
And as good as it smells, I don't find it really special. It walks a fine line between a dna, which I haven't really smelled as a perfume yet, but on the other hand it is incredibly similar to the scent of a hotel fragrance/hotel property. Hotel scent is of course completely unspecific and could mean anything, but both my first thought when testing it and that of my girlfriend went in the direction of a hotel scent. By this I mean the kind of room scents in hotels that you often smell around the Mediterranean. Something sweet and fresh and citrusy, almost exactly like the Nero70 smells, only in the hotels it smelled so synthetic, which fortunately we were spared with the Nero70. The kind of fragrance that you smelled immediately after opening the automatic sliding doors, preferably in larger hotels.
But first to the fragrance itself. A bright, radiant lemon opens, along with blossoming lavender, the two notes make me think of the Sicilian coast for the first few minutes. This is followed by a rather strong neroli note, which is quite sweet and delicate, yet long-lasting. Neroli is also more citrusy and less floral here. This neroli combined with the Xerjoff sweet-creamy musk-vanilla base results in something very special. It is partly like a creamy vanilla ice cream, and the overall impression has a cooling effect on me.
It also just reminds me of vacation. I can't describe how the hotels do it, but as a child I was often on vacation in Spain, where many hotels smelled almost exactly the same. The Nero70 recreates this carefree vacation experience for me.
I don't have this strong association with similar fragrances such as Neroli Portofino Eau de Parfum or Sun Song. In general, the similarity between the fragrances for me lies in the citrusy notes. So the fragrance itself is probably a bit familiar, but to smell it so well realized in a perfume is again very rare, so Nero70 always remained in my memory as very special. This sweet vanilla note makes Xerjoff stand out even more, which is probably where the similarity to the vacation fragrance lies.
My opinion of this perfume varies from time to time, but overall it has won me over and has stayed positively in my memory.

From juicy lemons to tart, dark green juniper
How chance sometimes brings us to fragrances that we would probably never have tested on our own is sometimes a matter of luck. That's what happened to me with THD Eau Givree. My father had ordered the fragrance as a blind...
