Xerjoff Duran Duran NeoRio is a fragrance launched in 2025. Duran Duran NeoRio opens with Labdanum, Elemi, Fig, and Rum, settles into a heart of Maple, Rose, and Saffron, and dries down to a base of Patchouli, Tonka Bean, and Peru Balsam. Xerjoff's Duran Duran NeoRio carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This one's a proper love-or-hate affair. NeoRio is an indulgent, boozy amber that's divisive but undeniably bold and complex. Prepare for a rich, syrupy experience that isn't for the faint-hearted.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Its exceptional longevity and projection, coupled with its dense, sweet, and boozy character, make it ill-suited for the office or sport. However, these same qualities shine on a date or during formal winter events where its warmth and complexity can be appreciated without overwhelming.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

NeoRio opens with a boozy hit of rum and syrupy fig, brightened by a touch of elemi and labdanum's resinous depth. As it settles, a sweet maple note emerges, interlaced with a soft rose and the intriguing spice of saffron. The dry-down is a warm embrace of patchouli, tonka bean, and Peru balsam, leaving a lasting, amber-sweet trail.
