Worth Every Cent
At least for me, without a doubt one of the best among fruity fragrances! I have always had a preference for mango and how it harmonizes with the pineapple here... a dream. Very fitting for summer and an interesting alternative to Erba Pura/Gold, as these have unfortunately also fallen victim to the mainstream virus. As is typical for Xerjoff, this tropical experience also comes with a price, which is still quite restrained compared to others. About 200 Swiss francs for the 50ml bottle, and I honestly tell you it's worth every cent!

Ruined by the Hype
Swy intensely is a really good fragrance. If you don't own it and want to smell it, I recommend the following:
Put on your shoes and jacket. Open the front door, go outside, and smell the first teenager you encounter.
Jokes aside, Swy intensely is a sweet gourmand fragrance with a slight woody darkness in the background that becomes more pronounced over time, and it perfectly aligns with winter.
H/S are really good, especially for a designer fragrance at this price.
The only negative is that it is way too overused, and you won't stand out with it, which is why it is not suitable as a signature scent at all. (Although that shouldn't really matter when choosing from the good fragrances that are available anyway.)

Christmas Bomb
Spicebomb Infrared, one of my first fragrances. I acquired this scent during the holidays in the Netherlands, and to be honest, I'm not even sure if I wanted to buy it or if I picked up the wrong packaging.
About the scent:
As the title suggests, this fragrance reminds me of Christmas. To be honest, this scent not only reminds me of it but is the liquid embodiment of Christmas itself.
Light snow is falling. It’s cold outside, yet you are surrounded by a comforting warmth, which you probably owe to your mother, who reminded you to dress warmly. In one hand, you hold a hot sweet punch while you cling to your mother’s hand with the other, so you don’t have to search the entire Christmas market for her later. You keep glancing left and right, overwhelmed by the many impressions. You look to the left. There! A stall full of various spices. "My father loves to cook," you think, considering buying him something with your pocket money. A glance to the right and you immediately notice the many roasted apples being sold at another stall. "How lovely Christmas time is," you think to yourself. But unfortunately, it’s already late, and you’re heading home because you want to get up as early as possible tomorrow to see if the Christ Child left you anything. You quickly drink the last sip of the punch and follow your mother out of the crowd.
This fragrance evokes that memory in me. I still don’t know if I wanted to buy the scent, but I don’t regret it. To be honest, I have only worn it on Christmas Eve so far and think that I won’t wear it much more often due to my specific associations that tie the scent to a particular time. Nevertheless, I like the fragrance and am happy to have welcomed it into my small collection.

The best SWY
I received the fragrance from a colleague who was vacationing in Dubai, and I am thrilled. The SWY DNA is definitely present, although in this fragrance it is considerably darker due to the Oud. The scent is striking and, in my opinion, a bit "heavy" on the nose because of the Oud, which makes it not really suitable for younger people. I imagine a broad, masculine Arab man with a dark full beard wearing this fragrance :)
So, anyone who enjoys Oud-based scents MUST have tried this fragrance.
Since I am still a bit too young to wear this scent authentically, I do not wear it in public.
Nevertheless, in my opinion, it is the best SWY fragrance I know, as I unfortunately have not yet had the chance to experience Amber.

Santal Boisé, my favorite scent
Santal Boisé. Currently my absolute favorite. A scent that is soft and warm, striking but not off-putting. I had to decide between it and Layton. As we all know, Layton opens rather fresh and then moves into a dark evening direction. Santal Boisé does not have this fresh start. It expresses its personality right from the beginning. However, unlike Layton, it does not have that slight synthetic note, which makes it more pleasant for me. But that was not the only reason I chose Santal Boisé. The scent is warm, elegant, and logically ideal for sandalwood lovers. It provides, as far as I’m concerned, a certain comfort, and it doesn’t seem to hide its price. At least for my nose, it was hard not to smell the quality and luxury of the fragrance, which makes it even more attractive in my opinion.
The scent is not an everyday fragrance. It is simply too luxurious for that. In my opinion, it is perfect for nice evenings or dates, which is why I wear it only very rarely and cannot speak of much female feedback. But at least my mother likes it so much that she suggested the scent to my father, who also does not wear cheap fragrances like lv Fleur du déssert.
