Xerjoff Mefisto is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2009, created by Jacques Flori. Mefisto opens with Bergamot, Lemon, and Grapefruit, settles into a heart of Rose, Iris, and Lavender, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Cedar, and Sandalwood. Xerjoff's Mefisto carries a Favourite verdict, a aromatic-led wear.

Mefisto is a fresh citrus bomb that's undeniably classy. It's often compared to Silver Mountain Water but with more floral depth and better performance. While some find it leans feminine, it's overwhelmingly lauded as a sophisticated, uplifting men's scent.

About

This opens with an invigorating blast of bright grapefruit and bergamot, sharp and natural, like zesty lemonade, soon blending into a clean, slightly powdery heart. Lavender and iris bring a refined, aromatic florality, stopping short of overtly feminine. The base settles into a smooth, musky sandalwood with a subtle, creamy warmth, maintaining its fresh character throughout.
