Childhood Memories
I wasn't going to write a review for this fragrance, but this is such a memorable fragrance from my childhood, I just couldn't resist.
To start, this thing opens with the signature Xerjoff citrus opening that almost every Xerjoff collector can never mistake. It's a really sweet dense citrus opening also. Almost like it was turned up a notch. I never get tired of smelling a Xerjoff opening.
Then when you get to the first part of the drydown, this is where my memory goes "wow" I remember that lol!! As a kid I grew up in the deep south of America. One of the things you learn in growing up in a southern rural community, is how to plant a garden full of fresh produce. Bell peppers, cucumbers, okra, tomatoes and FRESH SNAP PEAS. Some of you might chastise me for this memory, but I swear this first part of the drydown has almost fresh snap peas smell. That is the green note that I smell. No doubt, a lot of people will not like this note, but I love it. Such a cool memory to smell in a fragrance. I never would have thought of it.
After that initial part of the drydown comes where the fragrance absolutely comes alive. This is where the sweet amber, incense, labdanum, coffee and rose all balance this fragrance and kicks it into high gear with that green note lasting throughout the life of the fragrance. I can't smell the oud in here. It might just be my nose, but I just really can't detect it much.
If you want a fragrance that will take you on an actual journey from start to finish, this is the one. I am blown away with the way this thing brought back a childhood memory that was so "everyday" as a child, but now with me at 51 years old, I truly miss. Thank you Xerjoff for making a truely remarkable fragrance

Beautiful Fragrance For The Money
This is actually one of my first fragrances that I ever bought. I bought it based off of a ton of Youtube reviews and from checking out reviews I read online. I am not disappointed. Really good fragrance that I have worn to the office several times and have gotten compliments wearing it. Reminds me of a dry, extra spicy, apple pie (if that makes since). I really love it. Definitely not a summertime fragrance. But wear it in Fall and Winter and you will have it going on. Bottle is nothing to write home about LOL!!
