Xerjoff Cruz del Sur I is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017, created by Miroslav Petkov. Cruz del Sur I opens with Wine Grape, Bergamot, and Rum, settles into a heart of Cedar, Cinnamon, Clove, and Cumin, and dries down to a base of Leather, Amber, Sandalwood, and Castoreum. Xerjoff's Cruz del Sur I carries an Acquired verdict, a amber-led wear.

Divisive and unapologetically bold, Cruz del Sur I is a love-it-or-hate-it beast. Some find its animalic leather and smoky dry-down an artistic triumph, others say it's just plain offensive. Not a crowd-pleaser, but a distinctive statement for those who relish the unconventional.

About

Imagine stepping into a dimly lit, ancient cellar, where rich rum fumes mingle with the sweet decay of dried fruits and a hint of sour wine. This leads to a heart of warm, spicy resins - cinnamon and clove, with an earthy cumin hum. The base is an animalic embrace of castoreum and rugged leather, softened by incense and amber, finishing with a smoky, woody depth that lingers like a forbidden secret.
