Torino22 Xerjoff 2022

Man kann T22 durchaus als Flanker von T21 betrachten, auch wenn T22 eindeutig eher ein Frühlings- und Herbstduft ist als ein Sommerduft, und die Drydowns sind überhaupt nicht ähnlich. Beide sind eher maskulin. Der Preis von 180 € ist in Anbetracht der jüngsten Preiserhöhungen, die ich überall beobachten konnte, eigentlich in Ordnung. Ich mag ihn, aber ich liebe ihn nicht. Die Leistung war nicht beeindruckend, als ich ihn im Fitnessstudio trug. Die Sillage wird für die meiste Zeit seines Lebens moderat sein, die Langlebigkeit ist eher am unteren Ende der Langlebigkeit angesiedelt.

In the world of fragrance, a rare circumstance has occurred. The listed notes for Torino22 are a decently accurate! Contemporarily, a more common event has occurred: people see "saffron" and are suddenly struck by acute olfactory hallucinations, where everything is similar to Kurky's red bottled fluid...

Anyway, Torino22 opens with a scent of rubbery saffron paired with a slightly sweet/balsamic (realistic) eucalyptus, and zesty bergamot. This opening intrigues me, as it evokes the scent of inflatable covers used to enclose sports fields during winter. As for Torino21 (where it is more about balls... tennis balls!), this is a clever nod to the line connection to the world of tennis.

As the fragrance evolves, the initial sweetness of eucalyptus dissipates, making way for a more grounded heart. A relatively strong mate note (a herbaceous tea accord) emerges, intertwining with woodiness. The tea-like sweetness is perceptible, but it is balanced by a bittery clary sage. This middle phase will last around 5-6 hours, until everything blurrs into the final dry down.

At that point, a musky, woody base will reveal itself, providing an enduring foundation. The tea undertone will still float around in the background, which is a nice touch.

Compared to Torino21, IMHO Torino22 is quite different and more original.
It has a robust and structured profile. As a result of its composition, it is versatile and suitable for year round wear.
The performance is strong, offering 10+ hours of longevity on skin with good projection for the first 3-4 hours, and still radiating of skin after 8 hours.
Overall, I'd say that it is one of the most peculiar among Xerjoff's blue tinted bottles... worth a sniff, especially if you like tea based stuff!

When I first sprayed this, I immediately thought "oh, it's BR540 Extrait". But it took about 30 minutes for it to immediately leave that saffron bomb behind. The mate and woods kick in quickly and turn this from a feminine-leaning top note to a masculine-leaning base. It becomes a sweet/spicy/floral masculine scent that, unfortunately, is just in line with the trendy DNA right now. This whole bergamot-focused sweet/spicy/wood base trend isn't going anywhere.

This is a solid fragrance, but it doesn't separate itself from the very crowded market. Not even the sharpest nose will smell this on me and say "oooh, Torino22?" It is just another Ex Nihilo, Creed, ATH, Sospiro, Xerjoff creation that can't pull itself away from this trendy DNA.

THAT SAID....if this is the one you choose out of all of those options, you won't go wrong. It's a well-crafted fragrance.

I Allready have a full bottle of Torino21. T22 is very different from 21. It’s not as fresh and it’s sweet. The sweetness is syrupy. You can definitely smell the mate, which makes it smell like a syrupy sweet Lipton lemon tea. Dry down definitely turns to mfk baccard rouge
But little different.

I guess need to add this one to my collection olso

I'm wearing this during summer nighttime, whereas 21 is for daytime. The only similar thing about them is their name, but aside from that totally different fragrances.

This one is a little wilder, it's a nutty saffron on a bed of yerba mate tea. It's airy, it's creamy, musky, sophisticated and quite sickening if you apply too much. 21 has weak performance but this one is an ABSOLUTE MONSTER. I sprayed it even on one of my friends, it has ridiculous projection even after 6 hours and this absolutely scares me. Please use this consciously because the smells disappears and then appears out of nowhere and takes another jab at your nose.
