Comandante

Weirded out! Awesome unusual scent. First - the marketing for this misleads - representing the most exclusive cigar club in the world is not what I get from this - doesn't matter it’s still great. Secondly - some reviews here must be bogus or confused or ultimately people by the sounds don't even own a bottle so maybe they bought a fake? - its nothing like One Million or Diptyique Volutes AT ALL. FULL STOP. Thirdly - the voted note table is completely skewed. My skin is not that unusual - I find I smell what is usually listed or the same as per experienced noses that write the most succinct reviews. For example - A light unsweetened Cherry some may smell is a complimentary mid note that is from the mix of fruit, cedar, spices and honey and whilst I can envisage that it actually smells to me like the separate notes - its no cherry bomb! The vanilla may be there but its complimentary to assist rather than to be smelled per se. There is also clearly Tobacco in this however it is muted enough to sit just above the cedar and just be picked out without becoming dominant. Whats not listed is the slight menthol vibe with the patchouli grounding the scent. In fact this scent with its blend could almost be categorised as either an Aquatic, a Fruity, a Woody or a Tobacco scent (maybe, maybe also a floral) such is the balance of the notes. No - what this scent is to me would be like sitting on a deck chair at the back of a yacht on a sunny but cool day on a fresh water lake as its plowing through the water. With the speed it is making your splashed in your face with fresh water and wind, just in front of you a bowl of over ripe fruit (apples,pears, grapes) sits on a freshly cut cedar table and wafts toward you in the wind whilst someone 30 metres away at the front throws a bowl of spices in the air which sparingly mixes in the wind, meanwhie you notice your wearing your unwashed shirt from this morning that has absorbed the smell of the cigars that fell out of the canister in your suitcase. In a pleasant way it also reminds me of Windex Window Cleaner with tobacco, cedar and a spice kick. Refreshingly different. May not be the most challenging original Xerjoff but the reviews here don't do it justice and frankly - I don't think I have smelled anything like it (for reference I own Parfum De Marly Herod, TF TV, Miller Harris Feuilles De Tabac, CSP Rhum Et Tabac, Ex Idol Ryder, a number of Killian, Atelier Cologne Tobacco Nuit, Slumberhouse Baque, Creed Tabarome, & SS Farmacia Annunciate Tobacco D'Autore - which this last one is the only thing close to it) It took me many sample tries to decide wether I liked it (in itself a nod that I wasn't sure wether it was worth the high price - maybe it isn't but its worth having). Now, I'm buying another bottle...

This was a blind-buy purchased at the end of 2023. I was initially kind of put off by the first 20 minutes of the very fruity opening. I thought it kind of screechy. The fruity tones moved into the background after that. But after the first few wearings that opening is now somewhat pleasing. Regardless, right from the jump, after the first 20 minutes, this fragrance is gorgeous. It's a vanilla/floral with soft tobacco and a woody, light patchouli base. It evolves and changes throughout the drydown. After about 9 hours I am left with the most beautiful skin-scent. Though the tobacco is there in the background, this is not a primarily tobacco fragrance, so don't buy it if you are looking for a "tobacco scent". It is unisex leaning masculine but some women could pull this off. If 5 is down-the-middle unisex, then this is a 7, imo. It's not an overly dense fragrance either. Rather, it's ethereal/airy, making it easy to wear. This quality will make it wearable in temps up to about 22C (72F), I suspect. But I haven't had a chance to test that out yet. I'm going to wear this Jan-April and then Sept into November. It has a moderate projection, good longevity and a very good sillage. Comandante is the easy-reach cool weather fragrance that my collection sorely lacked. It's a people-pleaser (if you are into that sort of thing). If you prefer something more challenging from Xerjoff then keep it moving. This is not for you. Otherwise, give it a try if you are looking for something that is easy to wear in the cool months, yet still smells high-quality and is not linear. I never wear the same fragrance more than once a week outside of the summer months. But this one, I cannot go more than 3 days without craving it. This is going to be my most worn fragrance by far in 2024 (and hopefully going forward). Don't blind-buy.

When I first discovered Comandante by Xerjoff, I thought it was a fantastic scent. It’s actually a bit difficult to describe because the blend feels very smooth and well put together. I can’t say I detect every note listed, but I do pick up a fruity opening mixed with subtle floral touches. Normally I’m not a big fan of fruity notes in fragrances, but in Comandante it works surprisingly well. The composition feels polished and easy to wear, and it consistently earned me the most compliments out of any Xerjoff fragrance I owned. Performance is also excellent. This one easily pushed 10+ hours, and even when I thought it had faded, someone nearby would still comment that I smelled good. That said, after spending more time with it I realized the fragrance felt quite linear on my skin. While the scent is pleasant and well blended, it doesn’t evolve very much throughout the wear. Eventually that consistency started to feel repetitive to me, and I found myself reaching for it less and less. Because of that, I ultimately sold my bottle. It’s still a beautiful fragrance with great performance and crowd appeal, but in the end it didn’t quite align with what I look for in my collection. Scent: 8/10 | Longevity: 9/10 | Projection: 8/10 | Overall: 7/10

Sensual, Alluring, Mass Appealing I just picked this bottle up recently and tested it out for a couple of days. I can’t pinpoint what this fragrance reminds me of but It reminds me of a designer fragrance in a great way. This stuff lasts on my clothes and skin for days. Also, this is more of a masculine scent I can’t see women rocking this. Comandante by Xerjoff to me smells very clean like laundry and sweet with vanilla, tobacco, and honey. It has buttery soft florals in this fragrance but nothing feminine at all. This composition is blended to perfection. The tobacco with the honey and florals and fruity notes make this very wearable all year round but highly recommended for special occasions being dressed up with a suit and I can’t stop smelling my wrist it is very addictive smelling. If I had to describe this I would say this is a gentleman/ head of the office type of scent. No corporate employee I mean the head of the table CEO.

So, this is one of my favorite Xerjoff fragrances. Why? Well, it has mass-appeal. Truth be told, I didn't need this fragrance. If you own: Armani Code EDP 2024 or Code Profumo, this could be redundant JPG Scandal (particularly Absolu) ,this could be redundant One Million (pretty much any of them) ,this could be redundant Paco Rabanne Phantom Intense ,this could be redundant etc.... Having said that, obviously this leans heavily into the designer space. Interestingly, I don't get the Darley or Le Male comparisons. It smells higher quality, but can't touch the longevity of the designers, which is disappointing for a 'niche' fragrance. It is an attention magnet, and the reactions are plenty and positive. I purchased my bottle from a discounter for about the same price as the above mentioned designers cost at retail. So, not too shabby. I do really like this one. This one is a keeper.

It's very nice, smooth, great quality, very natural, but it's a bit incoherent. There's tobacco, there's sweetness, but there's also lots of freshness and florals. It's unisex, but not in a way to suit everyone - more like it has a bit of masuline things, a bit of feminine stuff, and these don't join super well. This smells like a shaving foam, smooth like sandalwood, almonds, there's tobaco, but at the same time this is full of feminine florals. It's fresh, energizing, but also sweet a lot and smooth. It's great, natural, strong, but for me this tries to hit lots of things that don't mix with each other. Smells great, but I'd like it way less sweet but fresher, or less fresh but with more tobacco. On a tester strip this is very, very fresh shaving-foam like, but on my skin it gets much sweeter. I'd love it to smell on me like it does on a tester strip - I'd bought it then.

Honestly this is one of my favorite xerjoff's, it's sweetness done right with some lavander, tobacco, patchouli, and fruity notes that don't smell synthetic or overdone. It's not super sweet or cloying to my nose. I can see some of the comparisons to armani code EDT (original), but this is definitely a stronger more niche version of that fragrance and definitely superior as far as scent profile, especially the newer version of armani code EDT. I personally think it smells more like a niche superior version of Mancera's Aoud Blue notes rather than Armani code. I also prefer it to offerings like 40 knots and Uden, and they would probably serve the same use cases. This isn't a linear fragrance which stays the same for it's length, it does change and is quite potent with great longevity. For me at least this is a winner

OMG! Went in blindly for this one - full presentation for $110/100ml truly was a no-brainer. My first Xerjoff and, interestingly, nothing like I was expecting: challenging Italian niche, "never going to reach for it" kind of an idea. Totally the opposite! Super easy and pleasant experience, throughout the whole fragrance. Nothing too complex, but still smells more mature than the references listed above as "smells like." Easy signature for anyone, quite masculine, and for the price really worth it as dipping toes into the brand (likely nothing similar to it as you go deeper into it). Pleasant opening, great development through the entire wearing experience. Even my wife liked it, and out of my collection she probably enjoys 20-25% of what I own.

O-K, so this is fruity & floral and the notes pretty much match up with this. What I am happy about though, it's not so feminine in it's composition. It's so neutral and well balanced that, nothing overpowers the other... so a big plus for me. A compliment getter without question. As for the people flipping out about the comparison to 1 million... keep in mind, it says "Reminds me of" not that "It is exactly like" This does remind me of 1 million but no, its nowhere near close. It's a lot more subtly beautiful and classy, where as 1 million is POW in your face, take it or leave it. This is definitely one to consider for a permanent fixture for the cool/cold/winter season. ( can go either way as well for men or women, safely )

Really pleased with this one. I get the designer vibes, bit of a clubbing scent but done to a high standard and with some beautiful touches. The honey will remind you of Pure Havane, Naxos, Evasion etc and it has a similar body and feel as something like Guilty Elixir and Le Male Elixir. First day of wearing, after 9hrs off skin it has a sort of white chocolate scent. Off clothing it has retained the majority of the scent with some sweetness and a little lively freshness on top. I'd take this over 40 Knots any day, and while I haven't tried Naxos in a while I'd take it over that too (but I really must revisit Naxos soon).

Another hidden beauty from this house. It leans slightly more feminine on my skin and It's the right amount of feminine and elegant I want to see in my scents. I'm way passed tutti frutti cotton candy phase in my life (with few exceptions of course) but this one is a drop dead gorgeous fragrance! I get very little blonde tobacco in here and some honey but on my skin it's not about those two notes. It's all about the spicy florals and succulent fruits grounded by resins and woodiness. It's very fresh and clean scent. Longevity and sillage are great on my warm skin. Absolute love for me

One of the more mass appealing scent from Xerjoff due to the 'designer vibes' that many has commented. But i don't think its a bad thing especially when its of so much quality and balance. The niche quality shows when it starts to dry down and of course this last and projects better than most of the designer it has been compared to. oh and a point to note, this smells way better on my skin compared to a test strip. i was on the fence but once i tried it on my skin, i immediately added a full bottle to my collection

The first thing what came to my mind after smelling was Le Male and Reflection Men Amouage. Smells very same BUT (!) and here comes the big but because the balance here is fantastic, not too sweet, not too floral. Evereything in a very nice balance and this is why it is more wearable for me then La Male what is way too sweet (vanillia) or Reflection what is way to floral (Jasmin bomb and Neroli). Xerjoff Comandante is a fantastic, easy to wear, fresh floral fragrance and the quality is just fenomenal.

I can still smell it on my arm 25 hours after spraying it. The first hours it was heavy smelling so I would use 2 sprays max. It is luxurious smelling, but I have difficulty describeing all the notes that Fragrantica has listed. I get sweet florals in the start with some fruits and a sharp clean smell. I'm not going to buy a new bottle when it runs out, but I can see why people love it.

Totally different type of tobacco scent, it smells kind of soapy and sparkling, a bit sweet but not too much, but very pleasant. Performance is solid, lasts 7h+ on skin and projects very nicely for the first 3-4h. Definitely a hidden gem from the JTC collection that is not talked about enough, whole hype is around 40 knots. Great daily i would say. Overall 8.5/10

Another beautiful fragrance from the house of xerjoff. I absolutely love this one. Fruity attractive florals made for men with the tobacco, honey, vanilla creaminess. Versatile compliment getter, attractive scent. For me it’s a year round fragrance just not summer days. Ideal for spring and nights out

This does not smell like a cigar lounge like the branding implies, but it is still very very good. Fruity, floral, sweet, with just a hint of vanillic woods. It’s incredible and a very nice unisex scent that can be worn to basically anywhere any time (minus the summer)

Picked up 100ml of this, and to me it's worth every penny. Clean, crisp, and perfect for warm to hot weather. Gives off a little bit as a dyer sheet initially, but becomes so complex in the dry down. IMO this is a masterpiece.

Piece of art. I don't know what is it inside, none then less wonderful mix, great balance. It associate a bit on ''blue clolour'' : sea, ocean, sky...Slightly similar to 40 knots. It is deffinetely abstract scent.

Maybe it smells like a designer but last designer I bought was Code Eau de Parfume. Haven’t smelled any ever since . Does it worth the money it’s subjective , to me yes because I use 2 sprays and lingers all day

Wow! This fragrance is incredible. It's sweet and fruity with a warm, spicy undertone that I absolutely love. It's definitely unisex – my boyfriend even tried it and loved it on him too!

This is naxos done right i hate naxos but this is a grown up version that I love more clean on dry down smell like marshmallow for me this was a must have in my xerjoff collection

Thank you for hating on this fragrance bois ! just got myself a brand new 100mL bottle for 170€, go buy 40knots, Armani code etc and leave this one for me

العطر ده بالنسبه ليا عباره عن( رفليكشن + قهوه ) العطر جميل جدا مع انه تم اصداره في ٢٠١٢ الا ان العطر حتي الان جميل جدا ومتميز وكذلك ثبات وفوحان ممتاز

The quintessential tobacco and leather scent. Definitely a male scent. It is balanced, nuanced, and wonderful.

Cherry bomb in my take..LOVE LOVE LOVE. Ordered from Xerjoff Universe.Com...100 ml and lasts forever on skin

I completely agree with @sumsar, Fresh fruity at start & dry down alexandria II without oud 10/10

Sprayed it on at 4:30 and could still smell it at 19:00 when I took a shower

I think if you go into this one reading the story behind it you maybe a little disappointed. Supposedly its supposed to represent the highest most expensive tobacco cigar club whatever. And the scent is just to bubble gum fruity and sweet to really call to mind tobacco or a cigar instantly imo. It just really lacks any even slight aspect of roughness to it(besides a beginning portion that is kinda out there that ill get into)to make me call something like that to mind. Though saying that, certainly I have never been to the highest most luxurious cigar club in the world so maybe this is what it smells like!.. moving on... To describe this fragrance in a interesting way, ill take what has been said before as well in other reviews that this has a almost ink marker opening, and it also kinda smells a little bit like polo red(go figure). So lets imagine we have a scented marker. The scent of this maker is a very fruity, sorta cherryish, bubble gum tobacco, with just a hint of a sticky sparkle from the honey, and some more sweetness from the honey. We start to draw... polo red. Dunno why but we are drawing polo red, like we as the artist have been given the task of having notes that dont relate to polo red at all, yet trying to recreate it using what we are given. Of course no matter what we do, we cant really make polo red with this, but somehow the viewer can still sorta see a bit of polo red in the painting. Or at least we can see it as a bubble gum tobacco flanker of polo red, certainly not a clone in anyway, yet somehow strangely similar. But ultimately the notes we are given with are what shines through.... The opening, to first few hours of this is potentially a little almost.. Funky. Even years later trying it again it still kinda tingles the nose in a way. Its quite chemical smelling, and again almost as others have said a marker ink. A marker ink with a some powder to tingle the nose. Obviously its synthetic but theres just something a little strange about it. Its not entirely unpleasant, but it tingles the nose for sure. Of course polo red is synthetic and tingles the nose as well, but more so with that sorta cool, citrus, and woodys vibe that tends to tingle the nose. Once the strangeness goes away, your basically left with that sorta bubble gummy, fruity, cherry, sparkle of sticky honey and vanilla, some warm leather to make it snuggly and richer, and just a touch of tobacco so it can still be called a tobacco scent. Its grown on me over the years, and I wouldnt mind having a decant of it, but its probably pretty hard to justify the price, especially with the slightly strange beginning. But after that its nice enough, although slightly misleading.

Bought Comandante for my husband from Campomarzio 70 in Rome about two summers ago. Never thought much of it because for me there’s no tobacco scent that can equal or rival Naxos. But he liked better Comandante out of the two... Years later, every time he wears it, I can’t help but wish he would have chosen Naxos. For me, this doesn’t have the, usual to Xerjoff, addictive or intoxicating quality most Xerjoff have. There’s nothing wrong with Comandante, doesn’t smell, boring, bad or challenging or I dislike the scent per se, but after smelling Naxos, nothing can compare... Comandante is a very likeable scent profile. Very fruity, honeyed tobacco and vanilla mixed with some woods, floral notes, hints of leather and patchouli. But very faint traces of patchouli, saying that for people who don’t like patchouli, this is going to be safe for you guys. I can’t say that Comandante is just a perfume for guys. I wore twice just to see if it’s growing on me, and I find it very unisex to say at least. It’s not a feminine perfume by any means, but if you’re into sweet tobacco scents with fruity, florals and spicy touches, Comandante will work beautifully on both genders. Would work better for spring and fall season, but can be worn during winter months because of its intensity. It’s strong, punchy, deep and very mass appealing in my opinion. That I personally can’t appreciate it enough because I sampled Naxos and liked Naxos better, it’s a very subjective thing. It’s very likeable and very well done objectively speaking. I see other people commenting about the similarities with designers scents and I can understand why people would say that! It’s a very easy to like scent. Would call it an introductory type of scent to Xerjoff universe.

Starts off strong with a beautiful deep tobacco note with dried or candied fruits. Think a fine humidor stocked with Connecticut leafe wrapper cigars next to a once-warmed-now-cooling fruitcake with a bouquet of powdery flowers nearby. I though "signature scent worthy...!?" And while I was contemplating where I would store all my boxes (because tha packaging is ridiculous) it lost the fresh tobacco and some of the fruit. The florals became more prominent too. With dread and disappointment it hit me: this is a slightly different version of Dyptique's Volutes EDP once it hits the mid. Except Dyptique bottles are 75ml and cost $150 us and the Xerjoff is $220? For a 50ml. Dammit -.- I wanted to love this. The opening is divine and if the ahole fragrance life cycle smelled like that first 5-10 minutes: Id be knee deep in bottles. Just cut out the middle man and buy Volutes. It actually might last longer too. :0/ Scent: 9/10 for the first 10 minutes. Then a solid 6.5-7.5/10 Projection: 5/10 I don't know why everyone says this is a beast. I fid not have that experience. Sillage: 4-7/10 it was really hard to pin down but this is my best guess. Longevity: 7/10 it does last but becomes a skin scent after the 5 hour mark no question. Would I buy another bottle? No. I love the opening but Dyptiques Volutes EDP does this for cheaper, for more, and with less pretense. Damn Xerjoff. I want to like you I really do but nearly everything Ive tried from this house (about 10 so far) smells similar enough to another niche or indie fragrance that did it better, cheaper, or both...I don't know what to do wih you.

woah the opening starts out harsh, like a fresh marker pen stinging my nose with a combo of fruit and labdanum. When it settles a little however it's a super sweet cotton candy hint of coffee and vanilla...sound familiar? Well instantly to me this smells like a stronger, deeper version of ROCHAS MAN. Seriously the likeness is uncanny. I think what makes it deeper is a smooth honey/tobacco edge to it and that labdanum for me pushes it to a more niche level...If there's such a thing? It kind of dries down like a Le Male musky vanilla but still with that lasting power and an edge of class. It's quite different to Rochas Man by the same rule as it drys down it becomes less and less like it. In terms of sweetness and refreshing qualities I personally prefer the cheaper option. As it goes on...I get that note I don't like all that much (Calone I think?) It's the same unpleasant synthetic sea like aquatic note from the dreaded 212 Surf I tried recently...but when low in the mix it's tolerable and actually adds something to the composition. In longevity and projection terms this beats hands down and so it should at this price. Xerjoff have something which seems common here to 1 million (I see the likeness but not overly) or Rochas or Le male or even Zegna intenso in the drydown but the Italian house have done it slightly better. Doesn't offend me...but I wouldn't wear it all the same!

This is one of Xerjoffs great ones. Simple and uncomplicated. It opens similar to PDM Darley (75% ish), But with added leather and tobacco. And the leather and tobacco are very much present. Also with Far better longevity, a better scent cloud, and Much better projection. This is The Darley killer in my book. It has the best parts of Darley, but adds even better ones on top of it. In the mid, it's kind of Alexandria 2 ish, but better and cheaper (for your wallet). Dry down is reminiscent to Armani Code. Surprisingly similar. But it's good. It's fresh, clean and floral. Mixed with sweet, spicy, leather and tobacco. And it works exceedingly well. It gives of a clean, masculine (but not too masculine) and alluring scent. I'd be surprised if it doesn't contain lavender and cardamom. I regret not getting my nose on this earlier in my fragrance journey. It would have been my signature scent for a good while if i did. All year wearable in my opinion (obviously depending on where you live in the world). Day or night. Work friendly and date worthy. Casual to formal. Any age can rock this no problem. Personal score: 7.5/10. When my decant is empty, maybe I'll add a bottle to my "If I get it cheap on the second hand market" list.

Does this smell designer? Yes, 100%. Mass appealing and pretty “safe”? Yes. But bottom line, does this smell good? Absolutely. It doesn’t smell exactly like stuff from the Le Male line, but it shares some similarities and if you like those, you’ll no doubt like this. There are some added differences though... Maybe it’s the florals, but while this does smell like JPG stuff, there’s a strange but very good “freshness” to this scent. It’s an autumn into winter into spring fragrance, but while the notes and accords seem all over the place, it has a “clean” vibe to it that makes it incredibly wearable. On paper it looks like a heavy, “date night” (ugh) fragrance but in reality it’s more of a signature scent, grab it and go for cool/cold weather. Rich and sweet, but with a very detectable clean and freshness running through it. I got it for a very good price in a group, and I’d say if you can get it for “designer” price then it’s a better choice than most designers it’s compared to. Other than that it is overpriced at full retail, but don’t let some reviews that talk about it being overpriced and designer leaning take away from the fact that it’s a damn good fragrance.

Powdery, floral (in a masculine, Versace the dreamer esque way), aldehydic in a non traditional way, and elegant. I personally disagree with those who call this generic, or designer smelling. I’ve smelled about 90% of the “smells similar to” fragrances listed and the only ones that have some similarity to this are Armani code edt and Versace the dreamer, and even then this fragrance is still a different creation. Sure, this is definitely not unique in a fecal oud or a ballsack smelling leather type of way, but it is still a unique blend in general, especially compared to the cloyingly sweet amberwoods that you smell in so many designers, and even many niches now too. This is a gentle, and smooth type of fragrance, with those powdery clean elegant aspects, and it dries down to this very slightly leathery green tobacco and lightly smoky scent. Overall I’d say it’s quite nice, and is an example of a fragrance you should try yourself and have your own take on, and then assess on if you think it’s worthy of having in your collection, and for me it is. (Btw as of now I get absolutely zero “fruity notes” and vanilla and honey is pretty much undetectable for me.

Starting the day at 9.00... Nothing special here I feel in the opening... Clean Subtle Scent... After an initial very fleeting blast of fruit, it has a Prada L'Homme feel without the pepper, which I love in the Prada... Without the pepper it smells different but it has that fresh feeling... This gets better the longer its on... Around 12 very nice better quality JPG L'Male type of scent... Its kind of a blend between the L'Homme and L'Male... Interesting but anything that goes down the JPG route is hard to justify the price for me... After 4 in the evening the quality shines... Interesting scent journey... Where it gets really interesting is in the late evening... The vanilla here pops beautifully... As a Scent journey you'd have to give this a 10 out of 10... My only problem is that scent profile in the middle of the day... If you like JPG L'Male you will LOVE this... If you don't like JPG L'Male then I'd probably steer clear of this... To Each There Own trail.... It certainly has staying power and Quality...

It's definitely one of more crowd pleasing nice fragrance, combined scent profiles of woody fruity and aromatic notes. It's quite pleasant right from the opening till the dry down. Definitely smells more natural and high quality as it is by Xerjoff, however, only downside for me is the performance is not as great as I expected to be. I have Golden Dallah and Ivory Route so far and they both have excellent performances for both projection and longevity. Unfortunately this one falls short for me although I still think it's a keeper and smells wonderful. I need to reapply at least a few times a day as I'm a super over sprayer person. I'm glad I've got a 100ml bottle for a fantastic deal. Totally office and date friendly. Inoffensive and attractive more towards masculine fragrance.

Comandante is a well blended fragrance, mostly dominated by flowers and some fruit, but you definitely can feel the tobacco and honey in the background of nice quality. It ends up being a nice manly scent. The problem is that , although it's long lasting, I have to be touching my arm with my nose to smell it. I don't like high projects fragrances at all, but this is such a skin scent on me, that I can't justify paying so much for it. Hopefully it's just on my skin, but I wouldn't be spending this amounts of money for how tame it is.

Lots of notes going on here. A fruity opening but that does not last very long and quickly transitions to a sharp, clean smell kind of laundry sharp clean that stays linear for a while on my skin. This lasted all day and I could smell wafts when I woke up. A nice smell overall but not my favorite from the house (Naxos) and not even the best from the JTC collection (40 Knots is much better and more unique for the money). Not full bottle worthy nor a safe blind buy in my opinion.

I've heard it's too designer, not unique enough, similar to other less expensive mainline frags. All this is somewhat true. However, it doesn't really smell like anything either. And the quality of the fragrance is outstanding. As someone who appreciates other xerjoff offerings that are more unique, like alexandria ii etc. I still really enjoy this. As close to a mass pleasing easy grab as you're going to find from xerjoff. Very nice fragrance. 8.25 rating

Don’t let the accord pyramid fool you, there are a lot of aromatic accords in this that make it lean definitely traditionally masculine. Reminds me of 1 million or Le Male, not that it’s the same but it has that sweet yet masculine thing going on. I couldn’t pull this ff. I could just about wear ultra male if I’m feeling it, this is definitely more aromatic than that. It’s lovely though. For a guy.

Very versatile spicy scent and do not let the main accords fool you. Its a well rounded perfume. Cannot detect florals so much, just sweet, warm, spicy high quality designer vibe, very masculine. Wizards behind Xerjoff are using tobacco to add the alluring spicyness just as in Naxos. So if you just want to smell high quality designer vibe, nothing special but just GOOD.. this is for you! safe card!

This after an hour and a half oscillates between Armani Code and Le Male. A little more for AC. This is the trail you leave behind. For all occasions except summer. Two sprays will be fine, otherwise it gets nauseating. 100% unisex. This is Quality, Balance, Duration 12+. This is the easiest fragrance to wear in the JTC line.

So I’ve been wearing this for a week now after getting a bottle for a daft price. The opening I get is a soapy floral eventually drying down to a very mild honeyed Tobacco, the problem is there is no dominant note or wow factor it’s just very safe. The quality is undeniable and I’d go easy on the trigger two sprays is enough.

Quite interesting scent. Opens up sweet, dries down to a sweet, aromatic, earthy fragrance. I would say this smells like a mix of JPG le male ( lavender aromatic aspect) & the sweetness/ powdery tonka bean from Armani code.

Some say it’s boring; I’d say it’s polished. As accessible as a designer frag for sure, but there is depth here that sparkles below the surface. I am enjoying the heck out of it right now. Definitely sample worthy.

Did I receive a bad sample? Thought this would be much more intriguing based on other reviews, but all I pick up on is a nondescript, somewhat stale scent. Doesn't project much or last long. Disappointing...

Sweet, clean, leathery fresh rich and pleasant. I get the designers vibes, but it's really not and the quality difference in the notes is obvious. Easy grab and surprisingly addictive. 8.5

Much better niche version of the dreamer DNA. I own and like both. Comandante is much better in every way, but has the same vibes. 8/10

I will continue to revisit this in the future with samples but it is definitely not full bottle worthy.
