Christos

This smells absolutely amazing. It was love at first sniff for me. I immediately found a full bottle after wearing through the sample. This is a full bodied rose, powdery frankincense scent. The amber xtreme reminds me of orris root with a resinous earthiness, accompanied by the sweetened leather of the labdanum. This is extremely powdery. I personally adore Iris and Orris, along with rose and incense. It reminds me of the incense and rose on Xerjoff Irisss. Xerjoff Irisss is one of my favorites as well. This is what I’ve been wanting from a fragrance. This has a presence that is unmatched, in my opinion. Pairs beautifully with other rose fragrances, or carrot or orris fragrances in my chemistry, yet stands so elegantly and beautifully on its own. I truly can not get enough of Christos; I wear it everywhere, even when doing yoga. It’s so calming, yet so lively, yet pure. Truly a masterpiece. It lasts on clothes forever. So glad to have Christos.

Outstanding parfume. This is a sacred travel to the senses. This perfume is truly exceptional, offering a transcendent journey for the senses. I adore its initial gentle embrace, which evolves dramatically, transitioning from the intense, fiery energy of a volcanic landscape to the enchanting allure of an adventure, ultimately culminating in the satisfaction of one's deepest yearnings. It is particularly suited for winter and tends to appeal more to men than women. Scent: 9/10 Sillage: 9/10 Longevity: 9/10 Price: ok

Despite not being my preferred scent profile, Christos is my favourite GdT so far. The incense is pretty powerful, lending meaning to the name of the fragrance. There’s something comforting about that religious incense aura (unless you’re triggered by it). Long-lasting in a good way, leaving powdery soft amber in its wake. There is a purity to Christos which evokes a sense of solitude in crowds. GdT is undersold with Bianco Latte as its trademark fragrance. Christos is more complex and beautiful, worthy of respect.

I bought this perfume, and I lovi't. I have around 60 frag ,and this is special for me. It is all about churchie stuff. After 9 years study in orthodox theology ,this is perfect smile for me. Not for modern men. Not for boys. Very strong, harsh, and maybe clinically. After dry down you can feel the dusty incense. Do not blind buy this perfume!!

I really like it, and for me its difficult to like a fragrance, mainly because to me most of them smell basic or floral or citrus and I am tired. this is a unique and interesting smell. Its not basic, and if I can describe it- it smells like a rich orthodox person

This stuff is strong and will last for days on clothing or skin! Peppery smoke and woods, dry and dusty, but in a good way that reminds me of antiquities in the Old World. I've been cherishing my sample so that tells me I will have to buy a full bottle.

Got a sample set and really loved this one, smells exactly like fresh cracked pepper then settles into smokey incense. Honestly I was gonna buy a full bottle until I realised the brand uses AI generated bullshit to advertise their products.

This is very beautyful creamy but not too smoky and spicy flowery frag . Spiritual travel .

What’s not to adore? Curse you all — I’ll drift into hell wrapped in the scent of Christ.

Amouage Enclave with a little bit less mint. Perfect!

Once I accept Christos is NOT an incense-focused fragrance, I like the perfume a bit more. But in the end, Christos is just not for me. I consider Christos a balsamic woody-musk fragrance with a slight oriental undertone. To me, Christos is not an incense fragrance, as it is marketed. I recognize certain SYNTHETIC perfume compounds, specifically Exaltolide or Isoambrettolide, add a strong MUSK accord to perfumes; a musk however that is more herbaceous, vegetal, or green (versus clean laundry). I do not know much about Amberxtreme but I'm sure an overdose of this synthetic compound contributes to Christos' challenging nature. Christos opens with an overwhelming pink pepper accord that quickly merges with a bitter citrus-lemon note. A welcome rose note emerges but is immediately overtaken by the spicy and intense lemon-citrus opening. The intense opening slightly yields to a loud, overbearing, sour, EXTREMELY powdery, herbaceous musk accord. This bitter, sour and powdery herbaceous note builds until it completely dominates the fragrance. A bit of sweetened honey (from the labdanum) and a dose of creamy woodiness (from the sandalwood) attempt to smooth out and balance the perfume's roughness. There's a bit of vanilla, some patchouli I suppose. But to my nose, the BITTER, SOUR, HERBACEOUS and POWDERY accord persists and makes this perfume difficult to wear. It's a pass.

I gotta say this fragrance is on the crazy side It’s intense in a way that surprises you or repulses you It depends on your preference or mood There is something unique about this fragrance For example it’s filled with resinous notes and it’s prominent throughout the lifecycle but instead of keeping the resins only it got mixed with rose/patchouli combination which is unbelievably strange ( in a good way) Maybe if I’d chose something on par with it but less intense is the feminine fragrance with the green bottle which its name eludes me But the difference in amouge they overdosed the rose patchouli instead of the resins It’s a good fragrance and the uniqueness intrigues me

This perfume is nicely composed. Very strong and dry at beginning, with smoky aroma of incense. Then labdanum heart, which is dark by patchouli but clarified by sweet and romantic rose. The base is amber and benzoin in combination with sandal: so very warm and comforting. Pepper, however, adds spiciness. I can't help but saffron aroma is present too. It is not a match to my personality, I don't like wearing it, but I appriciate the quality. There are many shades of this fragrance and definitely has appealing, remarkable character. --- Longevity is amazing, almost half a day, sillage is between moderate-strong. Nice for autumn-winter season!

You've got to admit there are a lot of notes at play and they all want a spot on stage, but they do harmonize well, as long as you're aware of how much you're spraying and especially when. Later--christos has the same effect Ana Abiyedh Leather had on me. It's such a distinctive scent that's too strong on paper, but on skin when sprayed just gingerly, you get (in this case) a genuinely great performance of labdanum, cracked pepper and incense. A risqué fragrance on skin in my opinion, but worth trying. Never, ever a blind purchase!! Strong, strong, and strong. 5.5/10

On me, this starts out too dry, and all I get are lots of Amber Xtreme and a touch of incense, so I smell like fireplace logs and ashes--not an unpleasant smell, but just okay. After about 3 or 4 hours, that's when the other notes begin to emerge. The bergamot never makes an appearance on my skin, but everything else does, in roughly equal measure. Here are the richness and balance that I missed in those first few hours! Fortunately, Christos performs like a beast, so putting it on hours before I leave the house won't interfere with its performance.

This is aggressively sharp: pink pepper and incense in full force. Synthetic gothic; a whole new aesthetic. It feels like a monastery with freshly painted walls... or the imagined scent of churches set on fire in horror games. As it develops, it only gets darker and more smoke-laden, but the pink pepper remains; stubbornly refusing to let go. Beautiful, yes... but hard to wear.

Very strong smoky and a bit powdery incense-amber-vanilla scent with patchouli and balsamic base. It is not the most unique fragrance, yet it's still lovely. Maybe it's better for night-time events. I have a full bottle and after I tried out most of the Giardini Di Toscana's fragrances, I would say this is one of their bests. Prominent lasting power and sillage.

Testing my sample; opens quite peppery, like toasted pink pepper but I believe it's the amber note. Odd but not unlikable in the least. Becomes rosier it dries down, gets more powdery and smoky and a touch vanillic. Cool weather only, this would wear well in autumn. It's a been a bit over two hours and it's rather persistent, well above arms' length.

This certainly invokes Christ - old churches with creaky, wooden pews, dusty carpets, and the sun beaming through the stained glass windows. I love it. Unique and comforting. Feels very artistic. Rating: 7.5/10

I like the drydown more than the opening, it's too herbal. But the drydown is really delicate and beautiful, I just wished the incense was more present on both moments.
