Xerjoff 2009 EDP
Kobe
Xerjoff Kobe is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2009, created by Jacques Flori. Kobe opens with Bergamot, Orange, and Labdanum, settles into a heart of Petitgrain, Neroli, and Orange Blossom, and dries down to a base of Rosewood, Tonka Bean, Benzoin, and Ambergris. Xerjoff's Kobe carries a Statement verdict, a fresh-led wear.
Kobe is a divisive juice. For some, it's a stellar, long-lasting neroli bomb that elevates the citrus game to new heights. For others, it's a bitter, urinal-cake-esque mess. Definitely one to sample before committing, as your nose might pick up something very different.What our verdicts mean →

Profile
Composition
Timeline
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
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Best Occasions
With strong projection and decent longevity reported by many, it can be a bit much for intimate office settings. Its fresh, clean, yet sophisticated profile makes it versatile for casual outings and dates, while the underlying richness supports formal wear. However, it's generally too refined for sport.
