Tony Iommi Monkey Special XerJoff 2021

Let's move on to the newest member of my collection. I have known it for over 8 months and have now emptied 3 original samples. I am absolutely thrilled. When I read that a fragrance with the name Tony Iommi was coming from Xerjoff, I didn't know until then that Mr. Iommi himself had been involved. I think you can definitely tell.

First of all, the packaging. In my opinion, this is simply Xerjoff's most beautiful. This chrome bottle with the black elements, just pure rock! The sprayer is great, if you know one, you know them all.

The fragrance. Wow, what a composition. It awakens so much in me. When I smelled it for the first time, I just thought it smelled like a father figure. Some days I smell the opening with rum and passion fruit, other days just rum. I don't get bergamot here at all. No wonder, it's also a decent opening and the rum simply takes over. I would have liked a slightly stronger passion fruit. When I do get it, it's very, very pleasant. Then we come to our superstars with leather, cinnamon and patchoulli. Here rather patchoulli and leather with light cinnamon accents. This patchoulli - incredibly well composed in the fragrance. Then it just gets sweet with vanilla and caramel, but never gourmand. This resinousness with the patchoulli makes this fragrance a feast and therefore it never seems too sweet.

What else can you say here? It just has all the qualities of a father. Strong, impressive and determined. The longevity is just perfect 10 hours and noticeable, on clothes it survives a wash. I saw that Xerjoff has released a 100ml - totally justified! I think this fragrance is simply outstanding. Definitely give it a try.
