Cruz del Sur I

by Miroslav Petkov

Xerjoff Cruz del Sur I is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017, created by Miroslav Petkov. Cruz del Sur I opens with Rum, Wine Grape, and Bergamot, settles into a heart of Dried Fruits, Cedar, Cumin, and Clove, and dries down to a base of Castoreum, Labdanum, Leather, and Sandalwood. 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.

Its potent performance and challenging animalic, smoky accords make it entirely unsuitable for office wear. This fragrance truly shines in more formal, sophisticated evening settings or during special, intimate occasions where its unique character can be appreciated.

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.
