by Chris Maurice

Xerjoff Don is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2013, created by Chris Maurice. The fragrance settles into a heart of Gunpowder, Tobacco, Whisky, and Caramel.

Our verdict on Don: Acquired

Xerjoff's Don is a bold, divisive scent that swings from 'masterpiece' to 'utterly boring'. If you can get past the initial metallic blast, it's a deep, dark tobacco and whisky blend that's not for the faint of heart or those seeking mass appeal. It's an acquired taste, but worth exploring.

About

Don opens with a sharp, almost metallic gunpowder accord, swiftly followed by a rich, dry tobacco and a boozy splash of whisky. As it settles, a subtle sweetness of caramel emerges, tempering the initial intensity and leading to a smoky, woody dry-down that lingers with sophisticated depth. This is a scent built on contrasts.
