Xerjoff XXY is a Parfum launched in 2008, created by Jacques Flori. XXY opens with Bergamot, Grapefruit, and Peach, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Iris, Ylang-Ylang, and Pepper, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, Vetiver, and Patchouli. Xerjoff's XXY carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one's a divisive drop: some hail it as a luxurious, high-quality iris masterpiece, while others dismiss it as overpriced and underperforming. Expect a sophisticated, somewhat distant comfort, but don't expect it to project across the room.

About

XXY opens with a sweet, tangy burst of peach and grapefruit, quickly settling into a powdery, almost cosmetic iris heart. Hints of jasmine and a subtle spice from pepper weave through, while a warm, woody base of patchouli, sandalwood, and vetiver grounds the composition, softened by vanilla and musk. It’s a complex, elegant dance between fruit, powder, and earth.
