This is simply perfection! The quality and refinement of Xerjoff, is expressed all in this bold perfume, and has the most beautiful bottle. It is unique as a true niche, the spice, the woods, the sweetness, that hint of floral elements in the back, the passion fruit, the darkness…. It’s complex and very hard to describe, as I never smelled anything like this. Probably the best way too describe it… is so strangely addictive! To me, one of the best scents Xerjoff ever made.
