Contemplative incense
Zephyrus, the eponym of this perfume, was the god of the west wind in ancient Greece and was appreciated as a herald of spring. The scents can be associated with him: Incense as a sacred symbol, wine and spices as a testimony to the fertility that spring brings, and Iris was also the name of his wife, the goddess of the rainbow. According to Xerjoff, it is a tribute to the city of Rome, "of its dignity and classicism".
Incense is without question the central note around which all the others have been added. Usually this is exactly what I find rather problematic, since I usually appreciate incense only as an accessory and I usually quickly perceive it as too harsh and somber. Furthermore it brings a certain spice with it, which not everybody likes. Fortunately I see it in Zefiro rather as silver-grey instead of black and as very pleasantly staged. That incense can also have a light effect is proven by other scents like Sancti - Eau Delà, Italian Citrus or Olibanum (Profumum Roma).
What gives Zefiro warmth are on the one hand cinnamon, which is closely interwoven with incense, and on the other hand an amber accord, which is not pompous-sweet, but rather dry and discreet. All in all, I would also speak more of a woody, resinous and spicy scent than of a smoky one. The associations mentioned at the beginning read well, but I can't really discover iris and wine(most), only a slight sweetness and - with a bit of imagination - the fine acidity of the wine is added later. Ergo Zefiro is kept relatively simple and linear, but interesting and well-balanced. A fragrance that radiates simple elegance and self-confident modesty.
A divine incense scent, Zefiro is not necessarily for me, but one of the most beautiful I could test so far. I don't really know if I'm still missing something, or if it could be a little more soft, because otherwise it is quite easily wearable for many occasions.
