Xerjoff Kind of Blue is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2012. Xerjoff's Kind of Blue carries an Acquired verdict, a floral-led wear.

This one's a true love-it-or-hate-it affair. Expect strong opinions, and don't be surprised if it smells like a high-end soap to some and a masterful, complex floral to others. Definitely not a blind buy.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Formal
Also Works:
Office Date Casual

Its long-lasting nature means a lighter hand is needed for the office, but its sophisticated and clean profile makes it versatile for both casual elegance and more formal settings. The pronounced floral and powdery notes, however, aren't suited for sporty activities.

About

Kind of Blue opens with a bright, clean aldehydic shimmer, quickly joined by a prominent, almost narcotic narcissus and the fresh spice of cardamom. As it settles, a powdery iris and delicate rose emerge, creating a soft, elegant floral heart. The base brings a creamy sandalwood, lending warmth and depth to the lingering, clean floral notes.
