Fig hides behind the rose bush
After I have thoroughly reviewed the first two Xerjoff "White on White" fragrances, I now come to the last perfume of the trio.
This scent has power! In the opening, I gathered more impressions from this fragrance than from the two predecessors. The scent opens creamy-fresh, with the fig note immediately noticeable. I had only known fig from "Gris Charnel (Eau de Parfum) | bdk Parfums," at least when I talk about a truly perceptible fig.
However, I find that the fig note hides behind another fragrance note, namely the rose. In combination with the fig note, the red rose almost appears slightly pink. It is not a pure rose scent, yet the rose predominates here in this fragrance. Combined with the fruity, slightly tea-like fig note and the creamy milk note, the scent does not come across as just rosy. Therefore, I think that even people who do not like rose scents can find pleasure in this one. It seems to me more like the rose is accompanied by a fig note. The rose is in the foreground, but the fig is distinctly noticeable in the background.
What also becomes clear here right away: The scent, like the two "predecessors," is carried on a soft, fluffy musk cloud. I really like this in the overall package.
The scent feels fruitier than the "White On White - One | XerJoff." The fig note comes through more intensely here. The rose note is also very well perceivable here compared to the other two "twins," which I find very nice as a rose fan. To be honest, I had hoped for this in the other fragrances as well.
There is not much more to say about this scent, at least regarding the DNA. A beautiful, soft, slightly creamy, and sweet fig-rose combination, carried on a musk cloud. Dreamy.
The longevity is okay. I applied the scent on Friday afternoon, and it accompanied me well throughout the day, lasting 7 hours before I took a shower, and the scent was no longer perceptible. Nothing exceptionally good, but also not bad. I would say it's solidly in the middle.
Due to the dominant rose/fig component, the sillage is noticeable, but by no means intrusive. Definitely suitable for everyday wear; I will also wear this scent in the office for the first time tomorrow.
Now that I have tested all three fragrances, I can say that I am definitely not disappointed and do not regret the purchase. It was a blind buy that I mainly made because of the rose in the fragrances. Although I received something completely different than expected, my expectations were positively fulfilled.
Anyone who has the chance should definitely test the three fragrances! Those who have read my review of "White On White - Two | XerJoff" will have gathered that this is my favorite. I find it hard to say whether I prefer "White On White - One | XerJoff" or "White On White - Three | XerJoff," which is quite good because I like both very much. All in all, a very nice overall package! Therefore, anyone who has the opportunity should definitely test these fragrances. Musk lovers are definitely welcome here.

Thanks for the tip that fig (surely the same coconut fig as in number 2) stands out strongly here. Now I know this one isn't for me either.

Here, the fig clearly comes through as a typical fig, like you would know from a gris charnel, for example. If you really don't like fig, then this one probably won't be for you.
