Xerjoff Via Manzoni 20 is a Parfum launched in 2025. Via Manzoni 20 opens with Brandy, Coriander, and Cherry, settles into a heart of Davana, Juniper, and Rosemary, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Vetiver, and Myrrh. Xerjoff's Via Manzoni 20 carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one's a divisive cherry bomb. Some find it enchanting and linear, others are utterly repulsed, calling it 'rotten cherry wine'. Definitely not a safe blind buy, so sample it before committing to this bold statement.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall Winter

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Formal

The bold cherry and brandy opening makes it less suitable for office wear, but its unique and somewhat polarising character could work for an evening out. It's a statement fragrance better suited for date nights or formal events where you want to stand out, rather than blending in casually or during sport.

About

Via Manzoni 20 opens with a boozy splash of brandy and a sweet, slightly tart cherry, spiced up with a hint of coriander. As it dries, the scent shifts into an aromatic heart of juniper and rosemary, with a touch of a powdery, herbal davana. The base settles into a woody embrace of vetiver and sandalwood, softened by an ancient, resinous myrrh, creating a sophisticated and somewhat mysterious dry-down. The woody and cherry accords remain prominent throughout.
