Our verdict on Allende: Acquired

Allende is a proper love-it-or-hate-it Xerjoff, a polarising vanilla-floral with a prominent, almost bizarre, lactonic waxiness you absolutely must test first. Don't expect a straightforward gourmand; this one's a wild, creamy ride that splits opinions down the middle.

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter
Also Works:
Spring

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

While quite strong, the creamy, comforting profile makes it suitable for intimate settings like dates and casual wear. It's a bit much for the office due to its intensity and unique character, and not formal enough to be a go-to for black-tie events.

About

Opens with an unexpected chemical, almost almond-like sharpness, before settling into its core of creamy vanilla and powdery cacao pod. The magnolia weaves in a floral soapiness, alongside a distinct buttery, waxy texture that some compare to shea butter or even sun lotion. It dries down to a rich, comforting, sweet vanilla, with just a hint of dark chocolate, yet retains that peculiar, warm balm-like quality throughout.
