Fresh juniper with funky raw coffee
My third sampling from the Xerjoff Coffee Break is the most recent entry Golden Green from 2020 (after Golden Dallah and Golden Moka in 2018), which, like the others, has a slightly funky raw coffee vibe with a fairly robust bright and fruity side of juniper, pink pepper, cardamom, and musk. It almost smells tropical, with a guava/mango/papaya vibe that is sweet and green, but there are no such listed notes. It has a resinous side to it, as well, yielding a sort of funky cannabis-meet-fresh coffee center with fruity, sweet, resinous, and semi-spicy aspects to it as well. Overall, it’s pretty agreeable, still being more cold-weather-leaning, like other Coffee Break entries, while, like Golden Moka, being more versatile and year-round-friendly than Golden Dallah.
It’s my least favorite of the three Coffee Break offerings, but it’s still quite good, overall, being a quirky, neat mix (like the others) and coming off fairly unique; it does not immediately remind me of any other fragrances. It seems be sold only through the Xerjoff website for €197 for 50ml, in line with the pricing of the other two entries, but not via a US retailer. (Xerjoff ships fairly quickly to the US from Italy, though)
7 out of 10
