Torino23 XerJoff 2023

I own two fragrances, Torino 21 and Torino 22, both of which I absolutely love.
As a result, my expectations of Toriono 23 were extremely high and I bought one here and tried it out straight away.

In many families, there's the sibling that doesn't measure up to its sibling - and that's what the Torino 23 is like for me.

As already described in other reviews - definitely a bit old school - albeit with a modern twist.

Is Torino 23 a good fragrance? - Yes
Is it the best in the range? - Definitely no.
Will it stay in my collection? - Yes, the bottle alone is worth it.

The ratings here on Parfumo are relatively normal for a Xerjoff with a tendency to be arbitrary.
What might be the reason for this? I think on the one hand because of the very high expectations that the fragrance cannot quite fulfill.
On the other hand, I think the timing of the release was completely wrong (ok, it was supposed to coincide with the ATP finals) - but I place the fragrance very clearly and almost exclusively in spring.
Why is that in my opinion?
Torino 23 is fresh, floral and woody - jasmine, rose and above all neroli are the main protagonists of the fragrance. And these fragrance notes work best in spring and not at this time of year when my nose has adjusted to heavier scents.

H/S are very good though.

I will put the fragrance away for now and give it another chance in spring.
