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.

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:
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.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

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.
