The Softest Musk Cloud
When I found out that Xerjoff was releasing three new fragrances with quite extraordinary concepts, I couldn't wait and ordered the scents on the same day.
One thing I can say upfront: none of the fragrances were a disappointment.
Freshly sprayed, the following thought immediately came to my mind.. "I know this from somewhere??". It's the blackcurrant, which is slightly noticeable from the very beginning. To make a brief comparison of the direction the blackcurrant takes: Some of you are surely familiar with those small purple glucose packets you get at pharmacies. Just like they taste, the blackcurrant note in this fragrance smells. I find it very pleasant. Just a nice, sweet, slightly sour/tingly blackcurrant note.
This blackcurrant is carried on one of the softest and fluffiest musk clouds I have encountered so far. As the fragrance notes already suggest, the scent is very powdery and soft. The white bottle describes the fragrance very well. All the powdery components also have a certain creaminess - I don't know if that's due to the rice. When I think of rice pudding, that could fit quite well. Really very well executed.
I find the musk note to be noticeably softer and rounder than in "Shooting Stars - Apollonia | XerJoff". Still, they are not similar! Unfortunately, I can't make a direct comparison to "Star Musk | XerJoff" as I currently don't have a sample for direct comparison.
Towards the end, the fragrance remains very soft, slightly sweet due to the consistently present blackcurrant note and beautifully rounded off by the slightly sweet base.
The longevity is okay. After 5 hours, I didn't perceive the scent as strongly anymore. After 7-8 hours, it was definitely over. The sillage is moderate. At close range, you can perceive the scent, but it doesn't fill rooms.
All these points make the first fragrance from the line a perfect everyday scent. I wore it once in the office and found the scent very pleasant.
I can't really assign the fragrance to a gender. At first, I thought it was unisex, tending to be more feminine, but after the first application on the skin, I can take that back. It's a perfect unisex scent that suits every age group wonderfully.
Is it worth buying? YES! For the price, definitely, as €150 for 45ml (of course in the three-piece set) is really reasonable for Xerjoff standards. The scent is not very experimental; however, it doesn't reinvent the wheel either. Nevertheless, it is a completely independent fragrance; at least I can't think of a comparison.
Is it the best of the trio? That's something everyone has to decide for themselves. My favorite is probably the second in the line, but this one here is really top. All in all, I would give the fragrance a solid 8-8.5/10. I like it very much; I do not regret the blind buy!
