XXY

Xerjoff XXY is a Parfum launched in 2008. XXY opens with Peach, Bergamot, and Grapefruit, settles into a heart of Iris, Jasmine, Pepper, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Labdanum, Vetiver, Sandalwood, 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.

Its subdued projection makes it suitable for office wear, though it really shines in formal or intimate date settings. The sophisticated, warm character is ill-suited for casual or sporty occasions.

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.
