My favorite fragrance that brings back fond childhood memories
With an extra discount code, I wanted to order La Capitale from Xerjoff as an early birthday present. A fragrance of which I had bought a bottling and which I like very much. Unfortunately, it was sold out.
I actually wanted to get a bottle of Via Cavour 1 here in the souk. I always test a fragrance before I treat myself to a bottle.
Apparently I needed a little thrill or my sanity was on a short vacation. I simply ordered a bottle of Via Cavour 1. Shortly after placing my order, I regretted it. A lot of money for me and what if I don't like the fragrance? A short time later, I received a shipping confirmation by e-mail. Discomfort spread. Now there was no turning back.
A few days later, the package arrived. Normally, I wouldn't be able to get my acquisition out of the package quickly enough. This time I took my time. Struggled with myself. But now the parcel was already here. So I took the beautiful bottle of Via Cavour 1 out of its pretty packaging and sprayed it twice on my wrist, waited briefly and sniffed. I noticed quince intensely and peach subtly in the background. It immediately brought back fond childhood memories ️ My grandma always made the world's best quince jelly. I could never get enough of it and a jar of it was always used up quickly. I just love the smell of quinces and I still love quince jelly. I did a little dance of joy

After a while, rose and berries join the quince and peach. The fragrance becomes more refined and rounded.
Dark chocolate flares up from time to time and takes away some of the sweetness.
Amber, vanilla and musk envelop everything in a soft, sweet cloud and give me a feeling of security.
Fortunately, I don't notice any oud.

I love Via Cavour 1. A very complex, round, well-tuned, warm-hearted gourmand (which doesn't make you feel like a walking dessert) that brings back fond childhood memories for me.

best for autumn
This is a stunning oriental fruity vanilla scent that leans a bit on the gourmand side. Opens with peaches and berries and then dries down to a beautiful base of rose, vanilla, chocolate and patchouli with a woody undertone. Very unisex and pleasant to wear in spring and fall with good projection and great longevity

Take patchouli & caramel from Tony Iommi, add a little fruit and douse it with oud!
Well, finally the Via Cavour 1 is accessible to the masses and not just the boutique Torino - and poof, the fragrance ends up in the collection. Why so quickly? Hmm... somehow the notes read well. Was I disappointed? Absolutely not, but surprised! But now to the most important thing, the fragrance:

- The Via Cavour 1 reminded me a lot of the Tony Iommi Monkey Special with its patchouli and caramel note; it's a really similar dark patchouli caramel. Is that why you smell similar? No absolutely not!

- The Via Cavour 1 is completely independent, it focuses on the rather dark chocolate mixed with ripe fruit in addition to the patchouli, whereas the Tony Iommi Monkey Special goes more in the direction of passion fruit/rum, but ends in the same base.

- In the prelude, a good fruitiness comes through; directly actually perceptible with the oud from my point of view. He is at the beginning rather light-fruity-sweet, do not know if that really makes sense, because you actually do not smell out the peach so, but you notice it is not dark fruit...

- ... because namely the dark fruits together with the chocolate in the drydown together with the oud make the fragrance seem heavier and heavier; the caramel reinforces this trend further. Remain one does but then definitely on a strong patchouli-heavy base with a light oud touch.

For a trained nose that appreciates the art of fragrance, the fragrance really offers a great, complex experience and a creative composition. I'm just afraid that many will be put off by the opening and thus give the fragrance no real chance. In any case, test and let work, hope the article helps!

When a chocolate falls into a bed of roses
For me, the beginning of the fragrance is clearly characterized by peach and somewhat fruity notes. After about 10 minutes, the chocolate comes into play, surrounded by a veil of roses. Over time, the chocolate note disappears and the vanilla and wood come to the fore.
Very sweet, seductive fragrance, which for me fits perfectly into the cold season. Super fragrance for those who like it sweet.

A fruity rose with a very subtle chocolatey touch
Via Cavour 1 is one of those fragrances from Xerjoff that not everyone knows about.
It's never really talked about, it's not mentioned and therefore naturally receives little attention at first.
For me, this is somewhat unjustified, because this fragrance doesn't have to hide at all and can really do something.

For me, the fragrance starts with an already noticeable fruity impact without ever becoming a fruit bomb. The rose is also immediately recognizable to me. It is used very gently and elegantly and gives the fruity touch something special.
I can already detect a really subtle but darker chocolate note in the background. However, the fruity impressions and the rose are clearly in the foreground for me, and admittedly this also applies to the entire fragrance.

After a while, the fruity accords recede somewhat for me and what remains is the elegant rosy veil, a little dark chocolate, followed by patchouli, oud and a little amber.
I've read/heard here and there that the oud is quite strong and can be a little "stinky" or demanding. Interestingly, my nose doesn't feel that way at all. I don't get any strenuous oud vibes or even anything stinky here.
That's how different opinions can be and we always come back to the point that fragrances are subjective.

I found the performance to be good. The fragrance lasts its eight hours, but definitely projects a little weaker.

All in all, a beautifully made fragrance. I see it a bit more on a woman than a man, but it is still definitely unisex wearable.

Strong fruity opening blended with a smooth rose. The drydown is a sweet ambery scent, fruity, creamy and woody. Oriental leaning for women.

One of the best Xerjoffs, in my opinion. Fruity, chocolaty, sweet, musky and a little boozy.

10/10, scent wise. Amazing!

Initially juicy-fruity and slightly medicinal, a rather gentle powdery/sweet fruity-floral fragrance, balanced by a warm oriental-woody base

Showstopper - boozy, sweet & fruity opening that quickly dries into a musky chocolatey rose. Engulfing scent trail, let down by performance.

I see minor similarities to TF Noir de Noir. It’s less rosy, more chocolaty and overall more complex and refined. Both are not redundant imo
