Xerjoff Shunkoin is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2012, created by Jacques Flori. Shunkoin settles into a heart of Cherry Blossom, Powdery, Orris, and Frankincense, and dries down to a base of Woody, Sandalwood, and Vanilla. Xerjoff's Shunkoin carries an Acquired verdict, a powdery-led wear.

This is Xerjoff's divisive powder bomb, a luxurious vanilla-coconut cream pie for some, a dusty thrift shop or aggressive Play-Doh for others. It’s certainly a unique experience, just remember to sample it first - especially if you’re prone to blind buying.

About

Shunkoin opens with an almost bewildering mix of powdery orris root and a creamy, somewhat lactonic sweetness, hinting at vanilla and a phantom coconut. As it settles, the composition evolves, wrapping you in a soft embrace of powdery sandalwood and a subtle wisp of frankincense. A delicate cherry blossom note weaves through, adding a faint floral touch, while tea provides a grounding, earthy edge.
