If you know, you know powerhouse

the quality and composition of this scent opens, dryes and ends with very floral tidiness.

to my nose the Jasmin and patchouli gives the boost, on which the orange blossom and tobacco plays its sweetness. after drying down, the rose takes its elegant appearance, but not in a "rose scent" way.

sillage is great but not too pushy, perfect to leave a "if you know, you know" impression.

Falling metheorite

Oesel takes its name from a meteorite that fell in Estonia in 1855.
And like the fall of a meteorite it surprises: a highly original reinterpretation of a floral scent.
The opening is almost bitter, and then gives space to the floral part which however appears green and slightly citrusy to my nose, and I really appreciate it, in fact it immediately ended up on my wishlist.
It reminded me of the spring of March, which timidly appears and which I can't wait for it to explode, which I smell and observe with all of myself.

Joint review for FdM and Oesel

I have two bottles of JPG Fleur du Male and I can't get enough of it, but it's so difficult to find on grey market. Found one in 2020 and another one in 2022. I just remembered the scent when I came across it here on fragrantica, it led me straight back to 2011 when I got myself first bottle. If u want to have something like really similar, go for Xerjoff Oesel, it's not discointinued as someone mentioned before. It's like 90% same, but without camomile note that hit in the drydown with FdM. Less soapy and less potent, maybe little more fresh beacuse of lemon, but I don't really get it. Can't really feel Rose and Patchouli in the drydown too. I've tested it once and got 10+ hours of longevity with good projection around 6 hours. Sillage is like 1 meter for the first two hours then start to fade. I'm letting it rest now and we'll see how performs next summer. The only problem is price, it's 240€ for 50ml, just like for FdM, it can go over 150€ for 40ml bottle.

EDIT: Bottle still laying, waiting for that summer to come :)

The perfect substitute for Fleur du Male!

Xerjoff Oesel, 2010, perfumer: Richard Melchio.

Oh my God, this perfume is simply flawless!
This perfume is the best replacement for the much-loved and discontinued Fleur du Male 2007. It's practically 1:1, and it's a good thing it is!
In this Oesel, an extraordinary theme is addressed, one of my favorite themes of the 90's and early 2000's.
What fascinates me most about this situation is the waxy and honeyed, narcotic and slightly animalistic aspect of the fragrance.
Nicotiana alata or as we know it as "Queen of the Night" is excellently rendered in this perfume, along with its characteristics with aspects of fresh, green, narcotic and slightly indolic tobacco!
The perfect pair of the much-loved triad - petit grain - orange blossom and jasmine, is divine, being practically the heart of many famous perfumes, from the golden age of modern perfumery: the second half of the 90s and the beginning of the 2000s. From Le Male to Versace - Dreamer, from Joop Homme to Fleur du Male and, finally, this Xerjoff Oesel that completes the theme and brings it to perfection!
Love at first whiff, just like it was with Fleur du Male, becomes an undisputed signature for me!
I dare say, having known almost all the perfumes of the house of Xerjoff, that this is one of the best Xerjoff, maybe even the best!

A still somewhat unknown beauty

Many Xjerjoff fragrances are talked about soooo often. Why not about "Oesel"?
A beautiful fragrance that also has a "clean" vibe.
At first when you spray it on it has a little minimal vibe of "HighHeel White" I think.
It smells floral, and slightly citrusy-tart.
So it starts off slightly tart and then becomes more delicate and slightly feminine. The orange blossom is clearly recognizable a few minutes after spraying it on.
A unisex fragrance, but a little bit more feminine in my opinion.
It's worth a try.
For me totally wrongly put in the shadow of the other Xjerjoffs!!!
