Is this what an angel with black wings smells like?
This is a woody fig fragrance with dominant sandalwood. The opening starts much darker than the drydown, I assume that this is due to the tolu balsam and amber, which I can sense more at the beginning. After a short time, the perfume becomes softer, creamy-powdery, thanks to sandalwood, musk and vanilla. The combination of bergamot, sandalwood and musk here reminds me a bit of "Une Nuit à Montauk - Nothing but Sea and Sky | Une Nuit Nomade" - that whiteness, peace in the turmoil. There is an undeniable coconut-milky aspect to the perfume, but it's not sweet. Because of this, "White On White | XerJoff" reminds me a bit of Blanche Bête - Eau de Peau, and the ironic thing is that neither perfume mentions the note of coconut. Comparing the two scents, Blanche Bete is a creamier, sweeter scent with a stronger coconut note and is generally much more intense. White on White is gentler, more sophisticated and leans more on the woody side. If Blanche Bete was a white knitted cardigan, White on White would be a white silk top.

A perfume that immediately comes to mind when looking at the notes is Gris Charnel Eau de Parfum - also a woody fig scent with dominant sandalwood. Both are relatively cool scents, with Gris Charnel having a certain amount of warmth from the cardamom, while White on White seems more neutral and softer due to the musk and coconut-milky quality. GC has some green aspect in the opening, which is not present in WoW, and the fig is more fruity in GC. While both are woody scents, WoW leans a bit more towards that side, and it also smells more powdery and cleaner. I would say that GC is more mass-appealing (although it's special and very interesting), but I find "White On White | XerJoff" more intriguing.

This fragrance really enchanted me! I'll have to wear it a little more before I decide on a full bottle, but so far it looks promising.

This is THE fragrance
I can't even put into words how great I think this fragrance is.
It completely reflects my being.
My signature fragrance!!!
It starts green with the bergamot and the fig leaf, shortly followed by a Rafaello-like smell, I assume this comes from the fig milk.
As the fragrance progresses, it becomes creamier and even sweeter.
Do you know when you smell a fragrance for the first time and immediately know 'This is THE fragrance'? I was so blown away by it and I knew immediately that I was in love.

UNISEX - Gourmand with a Raffaello twist / The special one / The underrated one
Hello everyone,

here I would like to talk about a UNISEX fragrance that deserves more attention in my opinion, the "White On White | XerJoff".

Each of the set has its definite raison d'être, but the others are either generic, or too monotonous. The "White On White | XerJoff" is really special. I've very often read things (on the forum here!) like, look for another gourmand, something along the lines of coconut, or someone directly saying I'm looking for the Raffaello scent...

The "White On White | XerJoff" is this, it's not a 1:1 "copy" of the candy, but it goes really noticeably in that direction. Slightly green, KOKOS, vanilla, creamy (!) and some wood in the drydown, but all in the gourmand direction.

AND...,

purely in this fragrance direction, it is in my opinion (of those I know!) the only fragrance in this direction. So if you are looking for a different gourmand, this may be "THE fragrance" for you.

The performance is a good + ;) and the compliments are really very exciting, because nobody suspects anything like that when they walk next to you or cross your path and certain looks are the order of the day (own experience).

If I wasn't really convinced, I wouldn't recommend it to you!
And now have a nice day/evening, or whatever you read this review, LG the Benny

This opens like a coconutty gourmand, reminiscent of "Gran Ballo". On skin, the fig leaf is a bit harsh. Dries like a green solar floral.
