Overall, I love this fragrance, as it’s creative but wearable and is a fun realization of an interesting (even if perhaps often-used) concept, and it performs well. So, despite a strange beginning (which took only a few minutes) I find this fragrance very nice here. The combination of the main scents tobacco, whiskey and the amber-like sweetness smells very nice, looks soft and radiates also well, with which the smell fits very well to the going out. As the fragrance is not too overwhelming despite its autumnal scents, it could even be described as an all-rounder and in my opinion can be used in any season of the year. Scent: Xerjoff Uden is a fantastic fragrance with a citrusy, woody scent. This fragrance opens with a scent of perfectly blended citruses, along with a subtle undertone of vanilla and rum. This scent will stay like this for a bit, only to be accompanied by some woody notes. These woody notes add a slightly warm and masculine touch to the fragrance, while also retaining the citruses from the opening. All throughout this fragrance, there’s also this very subtle accord of coffee peeking through every now and then. I’d argue that Don leans masculine, but that it’s not too dark means that it feels a bit more accessible than it otherwise might be, not being quite as intense overall as, say, the first main release from Dua Fragrance, The Mobster, but with leather and some other weight to it. I really like Don for this reason, in carving out a distinction from other similarly-inspired scents. Think also of Wiseguys Vegas Cologne, quite differently a bit of a Pure Havane-esque sweet cherried and honeyed tobacco inspiration. Don lands somewhere in between—sweet, but sharp, with some edges, a little bit of depth, but not too much darkness. The house of Xerjoff is a fantastic niche fragrance house. With their beautiful scents and equally beautiful bottles, these fragrances certainly grab a lot of attention. However, there is one main downside to this fragrance house. A Xerjoff fragrance can be quite expensive.

The house of Xerjoff is an Italian fragrance house. This niche fragrance house was created in 2003 by Sergio Momo, who wanted to create beautiful fragrances with the finest ingredients. Ever since 2003, the house of Xerjoff has established itself as a niche fragrance house. This means that their fragrances are of higher quality and more exclusive, which you’ll definitely notice. However, this also means that they’ll cost a bit more as well. To pay homage to the Italian art of perfumery, XerJoff bought a long-forgotten perfume manufactory: La Fabbrica di Profumi C. Casamorati. At that time, Casamorati created very refined fragrances and soaps, which were extremely appreciated among high-ranking personalities. To revive the splendor and glory of the old fragrance house, Sergio Momo created the collection "Casamorati 1888". The compositions are a tribute to Italy and are determined by flowers, herbs and fruits, which are primarily grown there. The artfully designed flacons refer to the historical past of Casamorati. This is also the inspiration here. The scent is not complex, no. The scent is simple. Almost as simple as the image of masculinity at the time. So it fits.

I find this combination very beautiful. Not only because I am a (casual) sports shooter and this scent brings me closer to this hobby and awakens beautiful associations. But also because a soft and warming ambience is created from whisky and tobacco. An ambience, as amber-vanilla combinations also create. But which, unlike this combination, smells of man and is definitely not unisex-suitable. marmel murmel* argh, again this mob of crazy scent freaks, waiting for me to release a commi here again... *marmel grummel* ... they don't have them all anymore... *grummel grummel* ... how can you just demand that you write something almost every day?... *mumble grumble moaning ...

Best for: Xerjoff Casamorati Mefisto is a fantastic fragrance to wear during the warmer months. This fragrance has a clean and refreshing scent and isn’t too over the top. It’s a pretty safe fragrance, which makes this one wearable in pretty much every situation. However, Xerjoff Casamorati Mefisto might be best used as a casual, daytime fragrance, as it’s the perfect dumb-reach fragrance for the summertime. 6. Xerjoff Casamorati 1888 Best for: Xerjoff XJ 1861 Naxos is a fantastic fragrance to wear during the colder months. This fragrance is immensely strong, so you really don’t want to wear this when it’s warm outside. However, when the temperatures are lower, this fragrance is perfect. Its sweet scent has a welcoming quality to it, making it perfect for casual everyday wear. There’s also a seductiveness to it, which makes this a great nighttime fragrance, perfect for when you’re going out or going on a date. 5. Xerjoff Mefisto Niche houses similar to Xerjoff are Tiziana Terenzi, Penhaligon’s, Nasomatto, Carner Barcelona, and Nishane!

4. Xerjoff XJ 1861 Naxos

So, I hope you continue reading and are not deterred by my initial impression. Because meanwhile (so after 5-10 minutes) the smell begins to smell really good! I now smell whiskey, which now also smells very nice and can keep up with many well made scents with such notes well. I also like the sweetness very much, because on the one hand it comes across very gently and on the other hand so tasty. This seems to be molasses, but it smells like amber to me. I don't really smell gunpowder, there's only something that reminds me of it and you only really notice it if you sniff it very close to the sprayed spot, because in the scent cloud you will smell this scent less. Notes: The top notes of Xerjoff Casamorati 1888 are saffron, pepper, carnation, and coriander. The middle notes are ylang ylang, neroli, and rose. The base notes are birch, amber, patchouli, and sandalwood.
