The Booze Wars - CHAMPIONSHIP : Xerjoff Tony Iommi Monkey Special vs. Maison Martin Margiela Jazz Club

🔥

Hey guys, Joe A. here with another one for ya’! Well…WOW, what a ride! After weeks of intense head‑to‑head matchups and passionate debates, The Booze Wars have boiled down to two finalists: Tony Iommi Monkey Special and Maison Martin Margiela Jazz Club. Many considered Kilian’s Angels’ Share a favorite, but in a shocking upset worthy of the national football league post season (the way underdogs sometimes take down titans), it was eliminated in the semis! Now the #Brotherhood must choose between two very different philosophies of “boozy” fragrance.

Xerjoff - Tony Iommi Monkey Special – The Barrel Archetype

Vibe: Indulgence with swagger; rum and leather collide with smoky attitude.

Why it’s here: Monkey Special dominated early rounds by embodying pure indulgence, it’s the champion of the Barrel archetype, where cask‑aged notes and a touch of animalic power create a bold statement.

Clutch performer: Like a veteran quarterback marching down the field in a championship game, Monkey Special stayed cool under pressure. It steadily won over voters thanks to its unapologetic richness and leather‑spiked rum heart!

Maison Martin Margiela - Jazz Club – The Barfly Archetype

Vibe: Atmosphere and nostalgia; smoky rum and waxed wood with a hint of old‑fashioned cocktail.

Why it’s here: Jazz Club advanced as the champion of the Barfly archetype, beating out favorites through its ability to recreate the vibe of an after‑hours lounge. It’s less about realism and more about memory, think plush leather chairs, vinyl crackling and an expertly muddled drink.

Underdog energy: Its path to the finals mirrors a football wild‑card team catching fire at the right time. Dismissed by some early on, it never tried to out‑project its opponents; instead, it charmed voters with nuance and storytelling.

-------------------

This matchup forces you guys to decide: do you value raw indulgence and swagger (Monkey Special) or mood and atmospheric storytelling (Jazz Club)? There are no wrong choices, just different ways to celebrate what “boozy” means in perfumery! The energy surrounding this final is akin to the buildup before a Super Bowl: everyone’s got a favorite, everyone’s got an opinion, and upsets are always possible.

What say you, guys? Thanks to the #Brotherhood for the passion, the hot takes, and the respect shown throughout. The final vote will determine our champion, but the discussions and camaraderie are what truly make The Booze Wars special. Let’s finish strong, #EnjoyTheJourney, and crown our ultimate boozy fragrance champion! Love to hear from ya'!
