Fresh, citrus, fruity.. Like a blue fragrance in the neighborhood of BDC and Versace Dylan Blue but very very briefly.. Then the Oudy, leathery nuance creeps in slowly... Eventually the fresh spicy (saffron), smoky, green (Juniper), incency vibe slides in.. Like Interlude Man but considerably dialed down and comes in intermittently.. Then becomes woody, aromatic and earthy.. very complex opening.. Appropriate for the office and casual to formal evenings out Good projection and sillage Not a beast mode Xerjoff release Best for Fall and Winter Powdery, soft suede-leather, woody, bit ambery, still smoky on dry down Classic Xerjoff bottle, deep blue; weighted golden cap; decent atomizer Good longevity Prominent for 2-3 hours and stays as subtle skin and clothes scent for 3-4 more hours Good to great overall performance The complexity and transition is impressive I would highly recommend XJ Torino 25 ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quite underwhelming compared to Torino 21 and 22 Better than 23 and 24 For me, at the moment this is rank #3 in the Torino line.. Very high-quality, well-blended, elegant

In honor of the Bears INCREDIBLE victory over the Green Bay Packers in one of the most exciting games I've ever seen. Did you really think I would select something other than the House of Boadicea the Victorious? A great fragrance in honor of a great game. To all you Green Bay fans, kudos for a great game. How do you guys keep finding these QBs? I'm in the mood for some Blue Sapphire. It is a complex amber and woody scent with a bright, sparkling opening and a dark, sophisticated base. It starts with a vibrant burst of (candied) lemon and orange, mixed with an herbal touch of chamomile and sage. It settles to a rich rose and jasmine as the main attraction here. The base includes a smooth agarwood (oud), patchouli, and amber notes. It’s not a "funky" oud but is more refined, polished, and masculine-leaning. Performance is exceptional. This is a "beast mode" fragrance, easily lasting 12+ hours on skin and days on clothing. I'm talking from experience here and believe me when I tell you that the projection is nuclear, so don't over-spray! 9.0 / 10.0
