Creamy, woody, sweet---solid blend
Sampling Xerjoff Torino, a 2020 release from the Shooting Stars collection. I’d previously tried out Torino21 from the Join the Club (JTC) collection but my Torino sample wouldn’t spray so I had to wait for a replacement, which Xerjoff did provide. Quick aside: the two scents are quite different, not variations of one another. Torino21 is more of a freshie, whereas Torino is a sort of sumptuous creamy, almost gourmand-adjacent scent.
I actually don’t see this for sale anywhere, even the Xerjoff Universe website, when searching online, so perhaps someone else knows its pricing and where it’s currently available, or if it’s discontinued.
According to online sources, Torino includes notes of vanilla, caramel, guaiac wood, black pepper, orange, neroli, and vetiver, and most of these notes makes sense. It’s creamy and sweet first and foremost but with spicy and fresh angles, and just the tiniest bit of an earthiness coming from the vetiver.
It makes for a rich and dense blend with sweet-but-not-too-sweet sensibilities, something that one could get a lot of use of in the winter, but probably isn’t too offensive to wear in milder weather. I think this would be a lot to handle in the heat. So it performs well, hits a few key angles, and frankly doesn’t quite remind me of anything specific while nonetheless having a bit of a familiar feel.
I’m instantly a fan, as I was with Torino21, even though they’re very different scents.
