When I first smelled this, I was totally blown away - so different, so unlike the other Xerjoffs. I thought at that point it would fit much more into Amouage line and now you mentioned that the perfumer has actually worked for Amouage, it really makes sense. As for the scent itself, I actually do a get a churche vibe, but really nice, warm and calming. Agree, this scent is very misunderstood, I don't understand the low ratings on frag sites..
@@ickis123 as mentioned in the video, I feel the marketing and bottle design for this have been a huge flop. Really misunderstood. Also, consider that most Xerjoff that are not covered by you usual channels tend to go really obscure. Ever heard anyone talk about Zafar? Yeah, me neither.
@@richard220273 the collection is always changing, a lot of stuff goes so showing the whole thing is not really useful. More favorite videos are coming but I don’t want to overdo it with lists 😉
Yesss I used 1888 a lot and mefisto too, the 30ml is also very versatile, I only upgraded to 100ml Mefisto after using so so much in the summer at work every day
That is an interesting observation about the perfumer behind the scents of Xerjoff. I share your opinion about the common dry down. To me it is a sweet fallen apart mess. But, as you said, it is unfortunate the perfumer is quite often not mentioned. I guess we have to presume nobody dared to take credit for it 😉
I recently found your channel and i found it great! the only feedback i would give to you is that you can improve on the thumbnails. other than that great content,you earned a sub :)
Seldom I write about a review. But yours is so profesional and eloquent. Is not hearing a seller with good rhetoric. I specially like the part about choosing a perfume by the perfumer.
I'm glad you've found a Xerjoff scent you like ;) (besides 40 knots). Have you tried Nio, the hyped bergamot fragrance? I own it and love it, but the longevity is so disappointing :(
@@SeldomlyOften to me, it smells like a relaxing, meditating bergamot distilled oil- quite bitter and harsh in the beginning but it smooths down later on with a touch of neroli. Some say that it is comparable to le labo bergamote 22, these two are similarly weak. Nio doesn't project much nor last, I often spray it before sleeping haha
@@KingDomFurnDing it being weak is actually reassuring to me, it means they didn’t try to boost it too much with the usual base block. I’ll see what I can get 😉
@@Principemostprincipe Sorcinelli! I just bought Quando Rapita in Estasi, nuclear bomb church incense with heavy spicy top. If not that, one of his other incense frags will do the job for you. If it’s too hard to find I would probably check out Copal Azur by Aedes de Venustas, it’s a little salty but very dry.
@ yes, it’s beautiful but not as characterful as I hoped it would be. Kind of strikes the Amouage vibe with me (which is great but I have tons of those).
@@SeldomlyOften No! Will have to try it next time I go near the store. So far I've only tried Naxos (too sweet), Torino 21 (not a fan of Verbena note), Erba Pura, 40 knots and Comandante. I would really love to get a discovery set or something because I don't understand the house very well yet.
@@bloodindark I might, at least on paper! I just don’t really like the Armani Prive line’s vibe and design (I know it’s super shallow). I’ll try to get my nose on it 👍
@@unicdelmore4382 I also think it’s overhyped with most of its success due to the media coverage; I still think it’s a good perfume though. I almost bought a bottle a while back but realized it would have sat on my shelf.
Completely agree, there is no denying that it is a nice fragrance...but people talk about it like it's a legendary fragrance that has completely changed the game and set the bar.
I always got bothered with the fact Xerjoff does not advertise their perfumers. I suppose it makes sense to follow your favorite perfumers social pages to be up to date with their work. The exception could be Amouage. Don't think I'd skip any of their releases, if I had unlimited funds 😂
@@SeldomlyOften I'm looking forward to hearing from you what it feels like. My money's on Outlands. Well, not literally, but I'm generally a fan of Miss Zarokian's work.
@@andrei-cosmin.popa85 I would have gotten that but I didn't like the notes in it, I got the frag that spoke to me most as far as perceived scent profile. I'll do an unboxing and first sniff of the bottle when I get it, similar to my video of Heraud.
@@SeldomlyOften It is basic but with good quality. citrusy lavender and violet on woods. soapy clean light fresh fougere style. Mefisto was heavier, more inky. Kinda worth the price of 150 for 100ml imo but not retail. disclaimer my skin and nose are weird eg on rose incense i only got olibanum/frankincense church aroma, never rose even after 5 hours, on tobacco vanilla (TF) i never smelled the vanilla only the tobacco.
Someone should make a pefume based on Will Ramos's cleans and growls especially like in his cover of Chokehold.. Instant goosebumps. Actually, you sound like a big cat sometimes Daniel your voice is pretty growly. Good asmr 🐈⬛
I mean, can't argue with any of that and a frag inspired by Sleep Token would be an instant pre-order for me 🤘 (Also, I used to do vocals for a metal band in my eraly 20s...)
Vibe collection which has been bought from sospiro is horrible IMO( erba pura, accento, opera…) other than that, house is great. So many great offerings. 1888, italica, richwood, syphonium, naxos, 40 knots, alexandria 2(which you dont like), nio, kobe, oesel, zefiro, toni iommi diefied,400, coffee break is great line…)

Makes sense re the perfumer! Ah my search for a Xerjoff I keep continues ….

Hey Daniel, have you had the chance to try the new Amouage essences?
@@AhmadKHS95 I ordered Reasons, it’s on the way, I’ll do an unboxing and first sniff of it when it comes in.
@@SeldomlyOften Hope it turns out great! can't wait to hear your thoughts about it
@@AhmadKHS95 hope so too, it wasn’t cheap 😅
Daniele, i am looking for incense forward fragrance. Do you have any suggestions? Church incense and great performance is what am i looking for. Tnx
@@Principemostprincipe Sorcinelli! I just bought Quando Rapita in Estasi, nuclear bomb church incense with heavy spicy top. If not that, one of his other incense frags will do the job for you.
If it’s too hard to find I would probably check out Copal Azur by Aedes de Venustas, it’s a little salty but very dry.
@ no no i can source sorcinelli easily. Did you try omanluxury - royal incense? Such a great incense forward fragrance with lots od depth
@ tried copal azur, smells cool but it is too weak for me taste
@ yes, it’s beautiful but not as characterful as I hoped it would be. Kind of strikes the Amouage vibe with me (which is great but I have tons of those).
@ you should get some Sorcinelli samples and see, those are really strong and very dark, smoky, cryptic and churchy.
Nice position
Still looking for a Xerjoff that I actually like… I can’t stand their DNA dry down as you said, it’s a max of synthetic vanilla amber.
A really underrated from the house is Zefiro, one of the best they offer in my opinion. Have you tried that?
@@SeldomlyOften No! Will have to try it next time I go near the store. So far I've only tried Naxos (too sweet), Torino 21 (not a fan of Verbena note), Erba Pura, 40 knots and Comandante. I would really love to get a discovery set or something because I don't understand the house very well yet.
if you like this and squid you will surely like armani bleu turqoise
@@bloodindark I might, at least on paper! I just don’t really like the Armani Prive line’s vibe and design (I know it’s super shallow).
I’ll try to get my nose on it 👍
Might be an unpopular opinion but Naxos is very overhyped there’s nothing so magical about it. I barely wear it my bottle is still 90% full
@@unicdelmore4382 I also think it’s overhyped with most of its success due to the media coverage; I still think it’s a good perfume though. I almost bought a bottle a while back but realized it would have sat on my shelf.
@@SeldomlyOften very true it’s not bad at all it’s a nice scent but definitely not worth the big hype.
Totally agree. Naxos is way too cloying. That honey note can be completely overbearing.
Completely agree, there is no denying that it is a nice fragrance...but people talk about it like it's a legendary fragrance that has completely changed the game and set the bar.
@@chaostheory3011 just because it makes so many top 10 lists. It’s really wearable and really balanced, I’ll give it that for sure!

this house has a confusing identity. Got around 25 samples of them, mefisto gentiluomo would be my pick so far...
@@komm13 how would you describe the scent profile? I almost bought it the other day but was afraid it would be too basic
