Warm and cozy
This is my favorite now for a Christmas holiday time. On my hot skin bergamot not screaming und well blended with cardamon. Cozy and jammy. Then comes cinnamon with wood and balanced this cocktail. It’s so warm like a Kashmir sweater. A bit of balsam note playing and time to time they appear and disappear again. You will not smell like a Turkish bazaar full of spices, it’s absolutely different direction. Well balanced, not too sweet but not too spicy. I see this smell more on women than on man. Very diffuser and maximum 2 spray will hold you all day in its hugs and give you warm and cozy mood. Just super discovery for me! winter and cold weather it’s time

The name fits.
Please hear me close, it's very rare that I rate a fragrance a ten.. But let me tell you, this is the most rich, smooth elegant fragrance that I own In my collection. The cardamom in this fragrance is top notch and I will challenge you to find one in a fragrance of this quality. Then comes other spices in the fragrance mixed with smooth almonds, vanilla and amber, that adds more spice and it finish with a nice gourmand touch and the perfect amount of sweetness to finish it off. A real stunner from the house.

The best Xerjoff?
Out of all the Xerjoff I own, and out of all the ones I've had people try, this is the one that made most people be in an absolute shock.

It's not what you'd expect in a perfume bottle, but it's pure deliciousness.

The best cardamom ever, with powdery bitter almond, and you don't need more. Delicious, spicy, delicate, addictive. I had a friend obsessing over it to dangerous levels.

Spice-love!!
What an amazing creation!! Xerjoff has so many amazing offers but this is to me easily top 5! The funny story is that i had this fragrance, i sold it because i thought i didn't want it and a week later i bought it again..

Spicy, ambery, rich but playful at the same time. It's sweet but not sickly sweet. To me this is the niche version of something like Spicebomb Extreme, they are not the same but they share the same idea, to blend fresh and warm spices with vanilla (both) and amber (only starlight). The cardamon here is to die for, fresh, spicy, green and a little behind the cinnamon with a touch of cloves. The amber/vanilla here are creamy, powdery and have some depth and smokeyness.

Performance is really good, 8-10 hours longevity with good projection. It quite versatile in my opinion because of the fresh spicies. I would wear it everyday as an elegant casual scent or evening as a romantic inviting scent. It will be cloying on summer days but very nice on a summer night out!

Overall, this i a beautiful scent! I really enjoy it and it will never be out of my collection again. If you like fragrances like Spicebomb Exreme or The One Royal Night and you want something on the next level, with great quality this is a must try!!

Strong, overwhelming spices with a shy, powdery almond.
Woah, I was certainly not expecting to get my nose cleared by the strong cardamom. Thought I loved cardamom in fragrances, but with this one, I'm not sure anymore. Bergamot might have contributed to my sinuses seeing the light of day as the first sniff was very astringent, sharp and rough (gave me a small headache). As it moves on, I recognize the cinnamon and the cloves, both spicy, dark, with a certain woodiness to it. Almond tentatively tries to shine through but gets crushed under the weight of all these spices. I do get some creamy powderiness, but it never becomes the star. Drydown becomes thicker with warmth and woodiness.

A few things to say here. XerJoff, might just not be a brand that works with my skin chemistry. I know spices tend to be magnified on my skin, so this could explain why the spices were way too inense to me. It leans very masculine to me as spices tend to do that (in my opinion) so it had already lost a few points there. I see it's a very beloved fragrance (the rating is pretty high here), but unfortunately it will never make it past a decant for me. Try it before you buy it!

Beautiful and fresh opening with citruses, cardamom and almond. In the drydown, it's warm, spicy, aromatic, almond with cinnamon.

Another disgustingly sweet frag with spices. While the sweet does die down, I now have diabetes and it isn't worth it. Great if you're 12 years old.

Realistic cardamon & almond, almost like freshly baked pastries but super smooth and gentle. Best sweet spice gourmand I've tried.

Sharp, overwhelming spices. Somewhere in there is a creamy, powdery almond that struggles to breathe. Not my cup of tea.

A bit Citrusy a bit spicy a bit fresh a bit sweet. I needed a strong sweet vanilla at the base notes! When bergamot fades it’s beautiful!
