Torino21 Xerjoff 2021

It's a perfectly fresh scent, but I would describe it as basic—one that should appeal to many people as a daytime fragrance. Someone might even make it their signature scent. However, I've realized that I have a real issue with basil in perfumes. It gives me a feeling of nausea, and I pick up on it above all other notes. Perhaps it's just how it interacts with my skin chemistry. The fragrance is linear and has too much basil for my taste, similar to Italian Leather by Memo. These are obviously two vastly different perfumes but the basil is too much for me in both of them.

I must admit, I'm also a bit surprised by the rating this fragrance has on Perfumo. It surpasses some masterpieces of perfumery, and I don't quite understand how. Perhaps its particularly mainstream scent is the reason for its popularity.
