Accento Overdose

Accento Overdose Xerjoff (00923N, USD190, BNIB) Full review... July 23, 2024 (3 rewear) Accento Overdose (shorten : AO) is a flanker to original Accento. This line now under Xerjoff umbrella. Previously release under Sospiro brand, eventually merge into Xerjoff under “Velvet” eventually rename ro “V” and it still remains. I have never sniffed the whole “V” range, so AO was brought from Note listed and familiarity with Xerjoff. I wish to know that “amber” isn’t mention in note rendition however this is, front and center, Super Amber.. fragrance that merge into Classic Floral Green profile, enrich by Fruity note and Resinous, Powdery undertone it does smell (new way) luxurious (new amber Creed release, sort of) When I sniff in the air, it is mouth watering blueberry hint rose, cooling clean jasmine emitting on top of powdery note from amber and aldehydes. The point is, on my skin, al the jammy fruity and rose goes too fast and you left with powdery mess. ===== First Impression. (April 1, 2024) Accento Overdose was a full blind buy for me. I am bidding on this but it so worthy... I know when the Green coming with White floral. Majority it will be more Natural side of White floral. Like Tuberose with green edge or something. I don't like Fruity dominant fragrance. But I really enjoy Fruity companion when it comes with Floral. Yes, and in this.. it do, it work for me, like a charm. It Good Girl Gone Bad by Killian kinda vibe, fruity barely show up it under white floral. But you can notice it. Fruity in this, smell like a Osmanthus. It leans peachy but not all the way thought, sweet, sour and fresh. It is Osmanthe Yunnan by Hermes kind of vibe. Fruity edge. Floral, in this recalls me the Green edge tuberose but Jasmine instead (?) It smell like Green White Jasmine, unexpected but beautiful. I notice Aldehyde later in later stage of development. I don't notice it in the beginning.. enjoyment in Green Jasmine with Fruity tint company. And yeah, sort of woody rose build up. I recall.. Duetto by Sospiro kinda here but certain aspect merges with White floral with green touch and tasty fruity. It is so enjoyable at this stage. Introducing Xerjoff's amber.. green woody after all the woody rose build up. I kinda see where this fragrance heading to.. more powdery and clean as a time pass by. Xerjoff's amber seems heading that way. Pay tribute to original Accento. Powdery as time goes by, but the floral / fruity support is there. for me, Accento Overdose give a vibe of Killian's good girl gone bad vibe. But more grown up, an unchangeable grown up classy woman forbiddingly enjoy being voluptuous and narcotics. I think if you enjoy White floral fragrance to certain point. & Enjoy full-body fragrance will easily enjoy Accento Overdose. 9.5/10, my enjoyment of the day. Full wear, update 1: This fragrance leave me a bit disappoint, someone mention that this is top note catcher. I think that statement is true. I wore this 17.30 hrs. yesterday and by the time around 21.30 hrs. this turn to unnatural powdery amber, I notice this base similar to the one they use in JoMalone Tuberose & Angelica extrait. it is a bit sharp metallic amber. There is still sharp green floral sweetness support from mid but yeah. It's basically turn chemical / powdery amber at that point... It is 40c in Thailand here right now so weather my be factor. I will rewear when the temp cool down a bit but as of now, I drop the overall score to 6.5 Please decant first at ensure is this work well with your skin. update 2: I spray this on my cloth and pass to washing machine. I use strong laundry scent.. and concentrate fabric conditioner. ... That's amber.. still survive after wash!?? It still emit fairy moderate out of my shirt... Xerjoff going extra dose of amber on this one...

Christian Carbonnel is so talented. He takes notes that I initially look at and think, nope, no way I'm going to like that, and he magically makes them work. I see other fragrances and look at the pyramid and think, there's no way they could f*** this up, and sure enough, they do and it smells awful. I'm getting the most intoxicating florals here, they're thick, they're luscious. This isn't your basic rose or jasmine, these flowers are rare, refined versions of the common florals. I think he has a different way of looking at perfumery. He sees the full potential of certain notes and says to himself, how do I accent this as much and as best as I can to get THEE most amazing rose and jasmine scent? Rose and jasmine are by far the two most common flowers used in perfumery, especially jasmine, so how do you make them incredibly special and seem almost revered, rare? At first, I get a blast of a fresh, bright, fruitiness and it's divine and refined, NOTHING juvenile about this fruitiness. Then the floral notes start to sparkle after a minute or two, and boy do they SPARKLE!!! All of the other notes are here to make the rose and jasmine sparkly and bright as diamonds. LOTV, aldehydes, and the aromatics in the base are here to do that, not to actually take part in the actual blend, they are behind the scenes, so to speak (and boy am I glad because I am not into camphor notes.) The florals here are so fresh, so real and life-like. It's as if their actually still on the branches outside. I get the warmth of the sunshine, I feel the crisp Spring air. When a scent can give you a full sensory experience and transport you, you know it's better than good, it's great. I keep thinking of a bride on her wedding day getting ready in the most glamorous bridal suite and she's surrounded by the most exquisite flowers and wearing a silk robe, and she smells like this on one of the most special days of her whole life. Wow. I've got to try more Xerjoff. So far, I'm blown away by La Capitale and Accento Overdose. I smelled Ivory Route but I had one of those little dabbers from Luckyscent and it's so hard to get the full experience of a perfume that way. I'm glad I ordered every 2mL sample Jomashop has in stock because I feel like in for a real treat. Also, if you've never owned a Xerjoff, the packaging is by far the BEST in the business. They just take it a step further and make it a whole experience with the package, the bottles, and of course, the juice. There is nothing synthetic in this. It's quite the opposite. The Casamorati line is good, I love all my Casamorati's but they really don't compare to the regular line, IMO. I have 4 of them, I would know. I've even debated on getting Dolce Amalfi but there's a note in that one I can't get down with. The Casamorati line are more gourmand fragrances and gourmands, by their very nature, are synthetic. There isn't a toffee or caramel plant out there for me to extract oil from. I foresee Xerjoff becoming the brand for me.

I never imagined enjoying a fragrance primarily tailored for women. This stands out as a notable departure from my predominantly masculine-leaning perfume reviews. Although not a conventional women’s fragrance, it blends elements from the past into a modern formulation. Fortunately, just before reaching its complete dry down, the scent subtly shifts toward a more unisex profile, making it more appealing to men. TOP NOTES Condolences to all the men who will dismiss this fragrance from the very first spray. Right from the beginning, the scent offers a multifaceted olfactory journey that seamlessly intertwines floral, fruity, and green elements. Out of all the notes and accords officially listed, the most prominent ones that I perceive are those familiar aldehydes reminiscent of Chanel No. 5. While the presence of fruits and greenery is undeniable, pinpointing the exact ones becomes a bit of a challenge. HEART NOTES Moving beyond the opening, the fragrance undergoes a complete transformation as it transitions into a floral-centric realm, bidding adieu to the earlier noted fruits and aldehydes. The jasmine, in particular, stands out as an exceptional rendition in the perfume realm, capturing its enchanting indolic sweetness in full bloom. Amidst the continued prominence of white florals, the heart notes introduce eucalyptus, musk, and ambroxan or ambermax from the base. BASE NOTES At the end of the fragrance journey, the scent dries down to an enjoyable conclusion. To my nose, what we are left with are smooth eucalyptus and muskiness from amrboxan. More unisex, with a fusion of traditionally masculine notes, and a smooth transition from the floral heart to the final stages. OVERALL In my opinion, Accento Overdose is the finest creation from Xerjoff. A multi-dimensional fragrance that exceeds expectations set by its mid-tier niche ingredients. The fact that it leans towards the feminine spectrum doesn’t bother me; my personal enjoyment is what matters in the end. Great stuff! Read the full review at scentgrail.com

Accento Overdose by Xerjoff weaves a tale of captivating scents, inviting those who wear it on a transformative olfactory adventure. As a 30-year-old man, I find this enchanting fragrance impeccably tailored to my style and personality. The fruity and green top notes paint a picture of a sun-drenched garden party, brimming with springtime exuberance. The lively dance of these vibrant notes gracefully transitions to the enchanting heart notes - Bulgarian rose, Egyptian jasmine, and tender Lily-of-the-valley - that truly shine in social events. One such occasion was a wine tasting event I attended with friends, where we encountered a beautiful woman and her companions. As we sipped and savored the fine vintages, our conversations flowed with lighthearted ease. The woman, among others, couldn't resist commenting on my captivating fragrance, drawn to the alluring scent of Accento Overdose. This shared appreciation for the enchanting aroma ignited an undeniable chemistry, leading to an exchange of numbers and the promise of future encounters. The scent journey culminates in the masculine embrace of Mediterranean pine and eucalyptus base notes, providing a sophisticated foundation. Accento Overdose's unique ability to adapt to the wearer's individual essence makes it a versatile choice for various occasions. With its remarkable sillage and longevity, it leaves a trail of joy and delight in its wake. In a world where brevity is the soul of wit, Accento Overdose triumphs as a fragrant ode to life's most cherished moments. This exquisite fragrance is a testament to the artistry of scent and its power to connect us all, transcending age and gender, elevating experiences, and sparking joy in the most unexpected ways.

Accento Overdose is a statement fragrance! Very unique and special to me. One of the best and one of the strongest florals I own! Starts out with fruity notes, a green accord and aldehydes, has a floral heart dominated by a strong Egyptian jasmine, lily-of-the-valley and rose, all these layered on a more unusual base consisting of pine needles and eucalyptus! What I personally get from these notes are the green notes, not necessarily my most favourite ones in a fragrance, but they are very nice blended with a touch of the aldehydes that gives the scent a sparkling, clean and bright feeling, a lot of jasmine and lily-of-the-valley. The eucalyptus and the pine needles bring a fresh and cool experience to the fruits and the florals. This is very elegant, sophisticated, complex and powerful scent. It’s incredibly strong, lasting on clothing for days. I wear Accento Overdose when I want to feel feminine, beautiful and classy, opulent and dressed up. It’s an incredible well composed white floral fragrance that is super strong. Smells heavenly but you need to love a strong, green jasmine to love this. This fragrance has a great longevity but can be worn even during very warm and humid weather because it doesn’t wear heavy and cloying because aldehydes tend to have very light, crisp touches. The bottle looks like a golden piece of art, it’s heavy and feels very luxurious and imposing. The only downside of Accento Overdose is the very high price. I bought my bottle last year during a sale but it still hurt my wallet a bit. I regret nothing when I spray it on...
