Refreshing cardamom
This is a cardamom done well. At first, I couldn't identify the notes, well blended, woodsy spiced calm scent. I don't really get elemi in here, but I love it. It leans more towards the masculine, though I'd still wear it if I ever get my hands on a bottle. I've put it on 2hrs ago and projection is great, longevity seems promising from this point, Xerjoff never fails to amaze me.

Beautiful woody spicy resin with a subdued voice
Once Zefiro settles 10 minutes after applying, I got a beautiful incense - woody/spicy/resinous. It brings to mind things like Ambre Sultan or Au Coeur du Désert but with two important differences. First, Zefiro is much more reserved with moderate projection. If you like these type of scents but they are too strong for your personality to wear to the office or in other situations, Zefiro might be your choice.

Secondly, Zefiro's spice and resin is less focused than those other fragrances. What I mean by "less focused" is hard to describe - sorta not as sharp, or more dusty or more obscure. Compared to vision, it's like looking through sheer material or curtains. The impact is somewhat dulled - which would help it work if you find other types of similar scents just shout too loudly.

In the dry down, Zefiro does pick up some sweetness, but it's not overdone or diabetes inducing. Just the right touch.

Longevity is very good. I was still getting strong whiffs after 12 hours. Projection is moderate.

Fantastic
Grand, amazing, comforting scent. I detect amber, spices, incense. All expertly blended into one glorious enveloping scent. I will enjoy it on many days to come, especially in autumn months...
Longevity is very good, silage is plenty. Another job well done by Xerjoff!
Thumbs up.

Metamorphosis….
This one starts with an almost animatic muskiness that might be a bit off putting to some. If you are sensitive to this and/or dislike these notes, give it some time, at least for the first wearing.

It then goes into a spiciness that projects well. There is a smokiness to it as well, but I wouldn’t call it “incense-ish” in relativity to say Interlude. Not churchy incense at all.

A smooth, smoky spiciness that lingers, then goes sweeter and sweeter. The sillage trail is there, but it isn’t a huge projection radius. Maybe 4ft. Longevity is great though, an easy 10 hours.

I like it, but it is very different than your usual Xerjoff stylistics. It will stand out from the crowd, but you cannot be “shy” in terms of what “uniqueness” is defined as. Some will frown some will smile.

I can’t compare it to anything at all. Try before you buy.

For me though? It’s a well dressed night out with the wife in the city with business associates. A corporate party in a convention center. I stand out amongst my colleagues without being cocky. My personality speaks for itself. No one’s opinions offend me, and all the smiles I get are returned with a confident nod. They know my role in the company, and I have been succeeding for a long time. This is the scent that resonates off of me.

Zefiro is an artfully modernized nod to antiquity. You can feel the very high quality of the ingredients used, as well as the multitude of natural ones. A brilliantly blended incense-honey-resin-wood elixir.

It will certainly not appeal to everyone, but this scent will absolutely not bother the surroundings - it is too elegant and mild for that, even for a perfume with the leading incense.

Dark horse among Xerjoff's stable. In my opinion it is way better than great Naxos, which, despite having a much wider fan base, comes acrss as extremely uninspiring and one-dimensional in comparison to Zefiro.

Dry woody incense. A walk through an old museum. From the structure of the base classic Xerjoff. Subtle honey sweetness, well done

Nothing special. Performance is average. Green notes dominate. Luxury box

Interesting but lacking. The sum of its parts is greater than the whole. It is just okay.

It's a rather sweet, somewhat citrusy incense scent with a small metallic accent somewhere. Can't help but feel like it's overpriced.

Cardamom, iris, honey and cinnamon play the main roles, while sweet woody incense adds depth. Spicy-powdery scent, classy, but not exciting.

sweet and delicate spices to accompany smoky parts and a very oriental evolution. Handsome

Smells like Christmas with an incense twist. Reminds me of spiced mulled wine (Glühwein) a lot, and then with the frankincense added.

Zefiro is a frankincense perfume more. It is nice and the quality good but too similar to perfumes like Revé d'ossian by oriza L. Legrand

Not bad, not good, sweet incense with a strong designer vibe, a big pass.
