Xerjoff number 7 - the smoky resinous one
The next Xerjoff and the next fragrance from the XJ1861 collection is at the start or is tested with strong sniffing. This time it is Zefiro, the wilder brother of Naxos, which gives itself the honor to wet my skin. Zefiro was one of the fragrances I had tested once before at the beginning of my time on Parfumo. A small free gift was included in a fragrance package at the time and I was already critical of it at the time. This was partly because I didn't know the brand Xerjoff at all and assumed it was some cheap concoction that was added to me. Later, however, I realized that I had no idea what we're talking about and what I had in my hand
The first impression was then something restrained and not spectacular. From today's I would attach that to the fact that it was a sample without spray head and the amount so small. My skin probably could not bring the fragrance to unfold, if the liquid is only spread, instead of properly sprayed. This experience was also an example of how important it is to have a good spray head on the bottles, as the fragrance will only unfold to what the perfumer intended if it is really well dispersed.
I must confess, however, that my opinion has turned in the renewed test now not just to the positive. Because where the Naxos still monotonous and linear daherkam, so haut the Zefiro with so some spice around, so that once again the passage stood in the oxygen tent. In the fragrance pyramid only the umbrella term "spices" is noted, but I can make out one or two notes that were very strongly present in my nose and dominated the scent for too long. First of all, I would generally describe the scent as resinous, though it doesn't achieve the sweetness of the otherwise popular resinous scents. Rather restrained in that department. You can definitely pick up on the incense or other smoky notes as well, depending on how sensitive your noses are to these types of notes. Above all, however, after a few minutes an extreme cumin or clove note spread in my nose, so that I was allowed to suspect a plate of yellow curry in front of me. This was penetrating and unpleasant, in the course also scratchy in the nose. After two hours at the latest, I knew we were not going to be friends. This part of the fragrance was so long on the skin, whereby felt the resinousness could not unfold at all.
It's a shame, because I had hoped with the second attempt to come closer to the fragrance yet something. Unfortunately, he has resisted and wanted to become partout not so pleasing to make my skin happy in the long term.
I must admit that a larger part of the Xerjoff fragrances are probably not my case. At the time of writing this review, I have tested a total of twelve Xerjoffs. I have liked four of them, if I subtract one Casamorati. However, so far I can claim to have had no fragrance under my nose that smells like another of the brand.
Zefiro shines for it like his brand colleagues by durability and sillage, although the latter turned me off by the extreme cumin note and made me run away screaming. But so be it, for that I have him after half a day still on the skin.
