Niche fragrance character for little money
I'm honestly pretty excited about the fragrance. You see it often in videos as a price performance - King for colder temperatures and that's all true. Had him always already on the screen and finally a mega offer came along and I had to do it.
First to the bottle: really extremely good, solid glass, nice for the eye in the collection. I do not understand why, for example, a Tom Ford flacon gets better ratings on Parfumo than this one, honestly ...
The fragrance itself was described to me in advance as whiskey, spicy-leathery DNA with some wood and patchouli. I myself would say it's a masculine spicy-smoky patchouli scent that comes down very quickly to base notes. I don't smell much leather (unfortunately). Much more patchouli is in the foreground. This is ingenious because it really smells like a niche fragrance. Of course, I do not mean the qualitative aspect but the DNA, which is simply more daring and more masculine than a Spicebomb Extreme eg.
very unusual, not mainstream, yet pleasant and warm and not at all penetrating.
Really well done! In colder temperatures just perfect.
The durability is good. No Beastmode fragrance but also nothing that flies. On the skin it works less long than on the clothes I find, therefore clearly a fall-winter thing.
Sillage is also good, but not great spekatkulär. The first 1-2 hours are really good then goes slowly back.
In summary:
I got a 100 mL bottle for well under 20 € and I have to say really, if you want to see how it is to wear a rather unusual fragrance with niche character and is on male DNAs then try the!

My love-hate relationship with Accento
This is the story of my first niche fragrance, a completely honest review from my perspective on the "Xerjoff for everyday life". I have to catch up a bit far, because my Accento story is a little longer.
Who is new in the perfume scene typically goes through certain phases - to minimum it was with me so. First the best designer fragrances try through, then Tom Ford, then at some point the niche world. At some point it was time for me, I discovered the world of niche fragrances and was extremely curious. After watching every video on YT that somehow went in that direction, I knew the best niche fragrances and their scents almost by heart, and without ever having smelled them. I found a store near me in the city that carries the biggest brands and was totally excited because I could finally test all the scents I knew from the Internet suddenly.
The Xerjoffs have pleased me pretty well even if none has blown me so right . Erba Pura I found good, Alexandria II and finally Accento. I sprayed Accento on my skin over and over again in the store and found it really really good. I really liked the development on the skin, from fresh fruity to floral powdery, to musky vanilla at the end and I was sure that I will buy it sooner or later. Every YouTube video and every review of the fragrance I've reingezogen in the time that have made me even more desire for it.
It must be said that the fragrance is increasingly positioned as a "starter in the niche world" and "everyday hero", and I therefore also thought he was perfect for me.
At some point it was time, got a good deal in the souk and bought me a full bottle. A whole week I waited for the package and I was so happy that I could finally wear it.
Finally it was there and I enjoyed the first sprays extremely. Then, the first time I wore it, I slowly had kind of an aha moment. For some reason, as soon as I walked out my front door, I almost didn't notice the scent at all. Nothing on my clothes, a little on my skin, absolutely nothing in the air. Then I started spraying more but it didn't get any better. When I arrived at the office I didn't smell anything anymore. I tried a lot because I really wanted the longevity and sillage to be good, but this thing is just weak. It may not work on my skin, but for the price I figured you wouldn't have any problems with it. And that's where my criticism is also directed at Parfumo and at many Youtuber, some of whom also distribute these fragrances; everywhere you go you are told that all Xerjoff fragrances have a super H/S and that this would justify the price. Maybe that may be the case with some, but Accento is a real disappointment in that respect...
About the fragrance itself, let's say again that it's really good and also very well received by people (if they notice it at all). My problem with it, however, is that you somehow get a designer DNA with good quality, and I then partly asked myself why buy a niche fragrance that smells like Prada l'homme, when there are far more interesting and complex compositions from Xerjoff and other brands? Why not skip the middle man?
Long story short, I was able to sell this thing quite well again and learned my lessons from it.
1. Always get sample/Abfüllung beforehand and wear for a week to get to know all aspects.
2. Don't always trust online reviews (don't be mad at me but durability is definitely not an 8.5 and silage not an 8.0).
3. Designer fragrances are perfectly fine for everyday, prefer fancy niche fragrances for evening or leisure.
So that really had to get out and I'm glad that I can write an honest review about it and help people who have certain demands on fragrances.

Blindbuy disappointment
After the fragrance was really often touted by various Youtubern as "Ladykiller" etc. and I was looking for a new fragrance, I decided then to order me the with a bit of discount. My first blind buy should disappoint me but unfortunately in many respects.
I must say I had really Bock on the fragrance, the descriptions online were very promising and as I said, it was also made on YouTube often fuss about it.
The first time spray then came the surprise. My whole room just smelled like a sweet fruity synthetic mush. The opening is a mixture of synthetic "pear" and in my opinion a kind of bubble gum note. As time goes on, this gets better and it evolves towards vanilla/cinnamon/amber. The name Ultra Male is totally inappropriate and for me the example of "don't judge a book by its cover" in a negative sense applied to perfumes and their names.
H/S are super, da gibts nothing to complain, but is actually always the case with sweet fragrances.
Unfortunately, this is not at all my kind of perfume. Ungelogen I really tried to like him and there were many second chances, but this is just nothing. Who stands on One Million, Invictus etc. will have but joy with it, especially in winter or autumn.
Am new here so looking forward to cups and feedback :))

Compliments monster and value for money
When I just dived into the perfume scene, the whole Creed Aventus theme got me insanely interested. How does it smell? Is it worth it? Is it really that good?
At some point I came across the Armaf. The first time spray I was completely blown away: Roch for me after pure masculinity and just horny, otherwise I can not really describe ...
But only when I started to wear him regularly, I realized how awesome Club de Nuit is. Never before I got a single comment, let alone a compliment for my fragrance (With Dior Sauvage, Out Wood and other designers I ran around before), but with Armaf CDN it is now almost guaranteed that when I get to someone in the car they tell me how good I smell.
The part really lasts forever and the sillage is great! So good that now Xerjoffs partially disappoint me.... (perhaps in another review about it more)
Meanwhile, I also wore Aventus and can say without any problems that who gets the real Creed must be an idiot, because Armaf CDN smells 1:1 the same and lasts longer.
Summary:
I can actually untruthfully say nothing negative about this fragrance, it really is a cheat code.
If someone is just thinking about buying the fragrance on amazon or elsewhere for under 40€: do it.
p.s. is my first review so would be happy about a cup :)
