Admittedly, it took some time for me to reach the point in my fragrance journey where I considered thinking about Ensar Oud scents, let alone owning any. The absolute high-end price and the somewhat over-the-top marketing kept me from...

My fragrance journey and the fascination that arose from it began for me in 2021. Although I had always been careful to wear a good perfume before that and had one or two bottles at home, I was far from having heard anything...

The Alexandria family at Xerjoff is quite large, as is well known. There is the legendary Alexandria I, which is probably one of the least smelled by many. Then there is the "Crowd Pleaser" Alexandria II and the "Rose King" Alexandria...

Sultan Vetiver is a special fragrance, no doubt about it! A niche scent with character! As the name suggests, vetiver plays the leading role. However, alongside the earthy and green vetiver, I initially perceive a relatively strong...

This refreshing "endurance athlete" starts off very citrusy and incredibly refreshing. The tangerine, orange, and bergamot make it a bit sharp to my nose in the first few minutes, but that settles down relatively quickly. After...
