Your review is absolutely spot on. I first bought a 2ml sample and the first thing I picked out, after the dry down, was leather and rose....2 of my dreaded scents. However, like you said, the blend of all the scents together is superb and I found myself loving it so much that I did by a bottle. Matter of fact, I have to watch myself because I keep smelling my arm so much that it was starting to look weird. This Xerjoff blend is right up to my all time favorite, Naxos. Hard part is going to be deciding which one to wear.
No way I literally found out about this fragrance 2 days ago and then you uploaded this! I really appreciate how you review these lesser known fragrances Have you heard of Xerjoff Coro?
I tried a sample . It is dark and mysterious and sexy frag. It is a mixture of “ portrait of a lady” with the rose and “ LV ombre “ . It’s nice . Has a Tom ford black orchid vibe to a lil. It’s a different scent but , I don’t think everyone can pull it off . I’m going to get a bottle for sure .
Another great review Troy! When you mentioned "rose" I got scared thinking on Moschino ToyBoy (which I hate🥲 due to that plain and invasive rose aroma). Between this and Naxos what would be your pick and why?🤔 Cheers from Peru!🤘🏼
Got my bottle just a couple days ago. It's a delicious scent, but in my opinion the patchouli is a bit much. I think I'd enjoy it more if the scent profile was a little more even handed. The overall scent is also not quite as masculine as I would have anticipated. 4 out of 5 stars, but just a bit too heavy towards patchouli
Just received mine today! Was a blind buy, so I had to spray some on straight away, & boy does it hit! Felt probably a bit strong for a cool sunny Sunday afternoon, first impression was that it's more suited for a formal evening or special occasion because of how rich the scent is. Went for a ride on my bike & could smell it wafting while I was going 100km/h down the freeway, while imaginary doomy guitar riffs played in my head, tempting me to push over the speed limit. Made me want to have other vehicles behind me so they can get a sniff of my scent trail... =P
OK, just made a completely accidental discovery yesterday at a local discount chemist. The Conqueror by Voyage Royal. 90% similarity for about a seventh of the price. Opening not as rich & smooth as Xerjoff, bit alcoholic maybe? But the dry down is pretty much almost identical I think. Check it out!
I’ve seen people compare this to Oajan, Side Effect and Carlisle and I don’t think they’re similar at all. To me, this is a boozy version of Dior’s Tabacolor. Funny enough, I rarely layer outside of molecule 01, but I do layer Tobacolor and Angel Share. Monkey Special is similar to that but less sweet.
Hi Troy, is the scent similar to Nishane Nefs? They have notes that are common, and the perfumer is the same. Im looking to buy Nefs, but I already have this.
Hi Troy - Apologies for a slightly off-topic question. What has been your experience with Roi Sans Equipage so far? I watched your video on the in-store experience at HJ and am thinking of getting a bottle.
@@TroyD247Mall Thanks bud. The LA store is happy to send anyone a bunch of blotters to test. I do have a full bottle of Blue Vanille on the way, thanks to another video you did on it :)
I was feeling so connected w/ this fragrance as you’re describing it … until you said the word that just shut the door in my face - “Gourmand” 😩 “Caramel” 😭
Does this have performance, longevity, silage and projection? Tired of spending hundreds of dollars on niche fragrances that only last a few hours on skin..
@@TroyD247Mall idk what it is but fragrances just dont last on my skin i tried lotion and still doesn't change performance at all.. it sucks because i smell fragrances on other people just nobody ever smells it on me nor can i smell it on myself..
@@cryptonator1988 spray on clothes as well as skin brother. I have given up wondering why fragrances don’t last 10 hours only on my skin and now I always spray a couple sprays on clothes and now I smell all my scents all day. Find a combo of skin/clothes sprays that works for you and you’ll be set!
Shame on Xerjoff, Tommi it's just a boozy clone of Oajan with double the price. They have to be ashamed of themself, this is not niche perfumery it's a clone house
Thumb down. Do you just gratuitously claim things ? You are absolutely far off in what you said. Sounds like you just learned a few words from the fragrance community and just fabricated a random sentence out of it, just for the sake of trying to sound critical or smart. You aren't.

POAL + LV sounds fucking amazing 😁. Tell me about the performance (durability and projection)
Nice review! thanks
Yes I think it's of the best from xerjoff.

Xerjoff Tony Iommi is pure 🔥🔥🔥...I wear odyon intense scorpion coz I ❤...but my frankly "Montale Intense Cafe" is the real compliment puller
Appreciate the vids!!!
❤️

Sorry I'm exited because I blind bought this one, and now I'm watching your reaction. I just got it today
Was it worth the purchase?

That Xerjoff have a high projection? Thanks mate!
I think Tony Iommi was presented with various formulations before having the final say.
He made a good choice!
Where to buy it?

Nah
Hey Troy,
I'm looking for a wedding day scent.
Do you know where I can get samples of niche fragrances?
Depends man just Google the scent u need and add sample. There are so many different online decanters and they offer different stuff. Congratulations!
Are they now doing spray sample
Bottles or is it still the same dipstick ones?
@@TroyD247Mall it’s still dipstick.
Hi Troy - Apologies for a slightly off-topic question. What has been your experience with Roi Sans Equipage so far? I watched your video on the in-store experience at HJ and am thinking of getting a bottle.
I really need to re try this fragrance. All I know is that it was the best of what was shown to me. I’ll get a sample soon Vivek.
@@TroyD247Mall Thanks bud. The LA store is happy to send anyone a bunch of blotters to test. I do have a full bottle of Blue Vanille on the way, thanks to another video you did on it :)
You’re welcome!

Awww time to try then! I wouldn’t shut my door completely!
@@TroyD247Mall yeah you’re right lol
Does this have performance, longevity, silage and projection? Tired of spending hundreds of dollars on niche fragrances that only last a few hours on skin..
Get a sample. Try it on your skin.
@@TroyD247Mall idk what it is but fragrances just dont last on my skin i tried lotion and still doesn't change performance at all.. it sucks because i smell fragrances on other people just nobody ever smells it on me nor can i smell it on myself..
I doubt this xerjoff is worth 500$ though lets be honest.. its not ground breaking.. i bet it smells great 👍..
It’s not $500 it’s $265 I think and it’s up to you to tell that I laid it all on the review

Does the boozy note last long? Does it last through the drydown? Or it just the top note?
No top
@@TroyD247Mall This can only be bought on Xerjoff’s website or is it now being sold in the US? If so, which dealers? Thanks.
Seen it in Harrods
But you think smells beautiful?
The Xerjoff Tony Iommi Monkey = Exactly Montale Intense Cafe. I have both. And its way less expensive.
I also have both, and your nose is broken.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
It smells like smoke and old cedar closets. i fell for all the raving reviews its strong and terrible nothing sweet or gourmand about this
It is definitely sweet and spicy with like a weird greenish note in there. I don’t like it at all 🥲
Shame on Xerjoff, Tommi it's just a boozy clone of Oajan with double the price. They have to be ashamed of themself, this is not niche perfumery it's a clone house
I have to disagree.
Not even a bit similar to oajan😂 I have both and they smell way different
Thumb down. Do you just gratuitously claim things ? You are absolutely far off in what you said. Sounds like you just learned a few words from the fragrance community and just fabricated a random sentence out of it, just for the sake of trying to sound critical or smart. You aren't.
Erm I have both, it smells nothing like oajan
Iommi ans oajan are not on the same way but oajan is the clone of ambre narguilé (Guerlain)
