a nice replacement
I cannot eat the first three fruits of this top note in kind, even if they are rich in enzymes and vitamins and therefore healthy.
My mucous membranes immediately become sore ("pink rabbit eyes" through irritated conjunctiva included) and the skin feels as if it had been treated with a very hard root brush.
So here it really is: Renunciation!

Already for this reason I was very curious about this XerJoff fragrance "Cruz del Sur II": should it be a kind of "substitute satisfaction"? A little I feared a prelude after kind of can fruit cocktail or however synthetic accusations.
I wouldn't have liked either.

But I'm astonished: at least with me a quite entertaining composition develops.
Of course you can't compare "Cruz del Sur II" with "serious" fragrance works of art; but as a flatterer of the senses and substitute for something intolerable I like this treat quite well.
"Cruz del Sur II" immediately spreads a good mood!
A large bowl of creamy rice pudding (this time not slipped out of my blanket after swelling!) is the center of attention - a clean, rich milk scent spreads!
The pineapple is surprisingly fresh and I feel a slight tingling of fruit acid on my tongue.
Mango and guava have been added tastefully and the very likeable bitterness of the black currant shows up quite quickly.
This astonishing and partly exotic fruit selection accompanies the bowl of rice pudding, which stands in the middle of a delicately fragrant flower arrangement: Apple blossom in fine pink-white and a somewhat strangely exotic fragrance in bright colours as an antipole to it, develops.
A picture of orchids and other blooming "tree friends" living in humid air in the passage houses of our Botanical Garden is now emerging.
Fresh leaf green and the scent of Vetiver, reminiscent of heavy, freshly poured earth, also go surprisingly well with this dessert scent experience.
Surprising for me is the harmonious interplay of cedar wood and musk; here even I am happy with this generous musk edition.
This was a fruity treat with a final "scented cream dove" on top, which is nicely garnished with some candied fruits.

A sensual calorie bomb in the form of a fragrance is created on my skin and envelops me for a few hours in a friendly way.
In contrast to the fruits of nature, this fragrance experience remains "in shape"; nothing ferments, nothing dries up, nothing "soups" before it.
I get to know a really nice scent game here; for the cooler hours a bit of tropical longing can be sprayed on!

XerJoff's "Cruz del Sur II" is charming in a very special way: a kind of fragrant butterfly that has strayed into the tropical climate of a greenhouse and flutters around there I almost want to say: "Welcome to a light fruity snack in the fragrant jungle."
Whereby for this scent excursion tropical helmet and anti-mosquito spray are not necessary.

Confusingly dreamlike
I unwrapped it today and I wasn't sure about the first sprayer...
do I smell something of paco rabbanne? Slightly afraid get blindly bought because he sounded so convincing After some time the scent develops extremely and I have the feeling to fall in love with this scent ! Xerjoff grabs me again and again!

Why only the milk?
Cruz del Sur II promised me many things: juicy creamy mangoes, sunny tropical beaches, wanderlust. Exotic fruit experience without pappige drugstore shower gel note. A perfect summer fragrance.

Cruz del Sur II delivers for me: green mango, freshly picked from the tree, along with green leaves and twigs. This side to Cruz del Sur II is exciting and authentic.... If only it weren't for the rest! First and foremost, I find the milk to be really difficult. Positively described, it smells like boiling milk just before it burns. Negatively said it really smells like fresh baby vomit, the previous speakers are right! And then that combined with the green notes, blows me away. To all evils the shower gel vetiver still sparks in between, which makes everything only worse.
At least the typical Xerjoff-DNA pulls itself in the background through the entire fragrance.

H/S Xerjofftypisch like Pattex.

I wanted to so much, but Cruz del Sur II and I, it's not going to happen!

Mango his father
Imagine you get a mango shake just the way it should be.
Creamy sweet with a mango as it should be...

Anyone who loves gourmand and mango will get their money's worth here.
Not a trace of synthetics!!!

Longevity and sillage are a 10 out of 10 for this type of fragrance
By the way: anyone who compares such fragrances with LV Ombre Nomade in terms of H/S is making false comparisons.

The mango doesn't fall far from the tree!
This fragrance is one that I'm going to get one hundred percent because it really smells indescribably good.
I first smelled it in a Discovery Set from XerJoff and was immediately in love. Here's a brief description:

The fragrance is incredibly fruity, but with a milky and creamy background that makes it smell like a cocktail. This fruitiness is supported by floral notes, which makes this fragrance more beautiful and lighter. It is easy to understand and wear. I don't find it too "feminine" either, as the diagram shows, I find it quite unisex. The fragrance is perfect for summer and especially good for a day at the beach.

It's also not comparable to other XerJoff fragrances for summer, as it doesn't sting the nose like the Erba Pura, and it's not really fresh, which is usual for summer fragrances, it's more summery in a "smooth" way, due to the VERY present mango. I personally don't smell the pineapple strongly or almost not at all, as the mango simply drowns it out.

The durability and sillage are also above average, which is normal for XerJoff fragrances, but not normal for summer fragrances, but this one convinces from all sides.

For me personally, this is my favorite summer fragrance I've smelled so far, and when I've scraped together all my money and saved it up, I'll get it.

Thanks for reading.

After a fresh and juicy tropical fruity opening, this creamy/sweet floral-fruity Gourmand, settles to a warm musky-woody base. Unique!

Musky, milky mango. More sticky-sweet manjo juice than the fleshy fruit. As if Accento and Erba Pura had a baby.

Anyone who has ever drunk a mango lassi at an Indian restaurant knows how it smells, but exactly! Tropical fruity and lactonic
