Deified Tony Iommi Parfum

OMG! This is Extraordinary. The image this paints for me is: Out of the shower after using a rose shower gel, putting on a brand new leather jacket while eating a juicy green apple that is lightly spiced with cinnamon. In the room there is Patchouli and saffron, lightly scenting the air. Every note is perfectly balanced. Never too much of one note. I can pick up all the notes i recognize (i'm not familiar enough with papyrus to recognize it). This is Sexy, rough, in control, and confident. I was not prepared for this. I Love the "hippie" levels of patchouli in the original Monkey Special, and from reviews thought this would be a more wearable alternative with a leather twist. But, this is a completely new direction. It has a journey too. It's not just a single scent from start to finish, although it keeps the same notes, they evolve and dance together in a spectacular way. It opens with a spectacular leather note that is light, smooth, and just a slight touch animalic. It's combined with a fresh, fruity apple and saffron. Cinnamon gives a light spicy note that's never overtaking the clean smooth blend. It's got no sharp edges, but smoothly turns around every corner of the notes. It does have the Xerjoff DNA in the bottom. The woody and clean base. The mid is much of the same. The apple and leather calms down and reaches the same level of intensity as the other notes. It's Dry down. It does lose some of the magic in the dry down (as All Xerjoffs does). But it's still in the "spectacular" category, even in the dry down. It performs fantastic and still gives of the same vibes as the opening and mid, just a little toned down. The patchuli and woods becomes a bit more present. Fall, winter and spring, no problem. If you're a confident and hardcore MF, you'll rock this in summer too, and seize everyone's attention. Just not in the hottest days, please. The freshness from the apple and the clean light leather makes it Super versatile. Day or night, but i think most people will save these expensive drops for a night out, or for romancing. All ages, but likely most suited for 30's and up. Masculine all the way, but i know a lot of women like this style of fragrance too. Frankly, i'm shocked, impressed, and amazed. I gave Monkey Special a 9.75/10. It get's the extra 0.25 points for being so bold and in your face. A True rockers persona, bottled and contained. I wear it for concerts and for special ocations. Deified is just as good, but a little safer. In a good way. But Monkey Special doesn't hold back anything. It's also Slightly cheaper (very slightly). Personal score: 9.5/10. Legendary status! If this was cheaper, it would be a 10/10. But, i can't in good conscience give it more then a 9.5/10 as it's a 50ml for 275 Euros. I would have liked it to be ~200 Euros. And although i gladly paid full retail for Monkey Special, and will gladly do it for Deified. That is me and my budget. For most people, it Is overpriced. But, I need, Need, NEED a bottle of this. No wonder it's Always sold out. WOW. This is one of my new favorite fragrances. Instant top 10. One of, if not The best Xerjoff creations.

This is not a flanker to Monkey Special like you’d expect, it is its own Xerjoff Blends fragrance that share notes, but utilizing a new concept.So get Monkey completely out of your mind when you first go to smell this otherwise you will be disappointed. They share notes but the way they are used in Deified is totally different. Rose here is jammy, patchouli here is a clean designer patchouli, Monkey was heady gothic rose and dank patchouli. The opening to me has a lipsticky vibe that goes away, it has a more playful light feel. Honestly this makes perfect sense as the follow up to Monkey because it is like an inverted version, they pulled you out of a dark velvet curtain lined backstage party and onto an outdoor festival concert stage. Deified starts to gain a subtle sour leathery note as the patchouli and woody notes start to heat up, the tartness of the leather with the rose jam hints at a liqueur feel...The rose is along for the whole show, but stays out of grandma territory, the way they did the rose and cinnamon here reminds me of Garanat, albeit much less rosey. But like Garanat the rose seems to weave in and out of the woody-leathery musky notes disguising itself. It turns truly enjoyable once dried down, super classy, gets a little aromatic and musky. The heat in Texas has been working for it surprisingly! This one is a must sample and wear before buying IMO, I only started to really like it by the last 1/4 of my sample. I’m really impressed with the work Tony has collaborated on with Xerjoff, he really isn’t just slapping his name on these: he’s clearly a very discerning fragrance lover. This will be a must-get for me. Update: Full bottle came in, loving it even more out of the bottle some how😂 Annoyingly it has a sticker with some kind of RFID chip telling you to tap to connect with Xerjoff 🤨 This fragrance projects pretty big, major scent cloud. They really did a great job blending the rose here, it keeps tricking my nose by hiding then peeking through, this would be good for anyone who doesn’t like rose that much, or perhaps a good entry point to a rose fragrance..it feels like an aromatic musky rose note, is there such thing as green rose? Also the booklet it came with states it has osmanthus too, just noticed that 🤔

Fairly unique but still familiar in the sense that I feel like I've smelt facets of it before in the past but as a whole it's quite good. Just a note though, This is one of those fragrances that's quite polarising, in that (especially) to a layman or someone not familiar with darker, edgier scents, if they don't like it on their first whiff they're much more likely to absolutely hate it, like with Black Phantom by Kilian(smell nothing alike at all but are both bold unapologetic and dark/sweet) for example. Its relatively linear, so what you get in the early drydown past the opening is more or less what it'll mostly smell like for the entire wearing; Upon first spray I get a blast of sweet apple, Saffron and Leather, the opening is very pungent but transitions quickly to the core the scent, which is a Leather-Rose with the rose being quite subtle on my skin, with a soft apple that adds sweetness and brightness, but it's fruitiness is toned down a fair bit, with the saffron becoming a bit more prominent too, however it's not spicy enough to make your nose tingle, but its just shy of it if that makes sense, with an earthiness and ever so slight Dark chocholate nuance on my skin which is probably from the Patchouli. I personally like the scent profile but it's not something I'd wear all too often given that it's not my type of fragrance and it's very particular in the occasions you'd wear it, but its easy to understand how others could be instantly and strongly offput by it. It was quite strong often filling a room and it lasted around 11 hours which for who desire that kind of strength it's definitely a bonus, as for seasons it's for sure onky cold weather orientee imo, and it leans very masculine too, goes without saying that it's a special occasion fragrance but in an open environment where you want you presence to be announced. Overall, I think as a fragrance through the lense of an enthusiast it's quite nice and I can see this being a cult favourite for those who love it, and although i think thia flanker is quite solid, i still personally prefer Monkey Special, but Deified as a standalone is quite nice, so for that I'll give it an 8/10. Not my thing, but I appreciate the perfumery behind it.

You gotta be dense to claim there’s no rose here - that’s a rose bomb. Smell more fragrances, don’t come back to reviewing until you’ve smelled at least 300. Unfortunately, this isn’t super unique; there’s a shitload of that rose, leather/oud combos, and Momo went so original by complementing it with things like cinnamon and saffron. So, so new and out of the box. Jam-like, thick rose, black suede, black lacquer/vinyl, lots violet, lots of Osmanthus and, in my opinion, a lot of bitter almonds (heliotropin?). It’s also very purple-powdery like orris. This actually remind some of a lot of perfumes that add ‚cyanide’ or poison note to the mix. It smells like something Toskovat might do, or Kilian. Maybe som black currant bud, lots of plum. And, of course, all the things mentioned in the official notes. The rose here reminds me of the one in BDK’s Tabac Rose (although here it’s not sulphuric). The leather/oud and jammy rose reminds me of lots of things - Boadicea Ardent, a bit of Noir de Noir, and lots of Montales (but here’s way more quality, it doesn’t reek of synthetic rubber) just to name a few random at the top of my head. Now that I think of it? It’s very similar to Gallagher’s Rose Noir - plum, rose, oud, black leather, apple... all there - it’s just Rose Noir is even stronger and half the price. I wonder how many of you will dislike this comment or similarity vote and not even know Rose Noir. Nighttime leaning, unisex. Great performance, autumn and winter. I’ll be honest with you, I’m a bit letdown even though I own a bottle. For the Iommi series I hoped for things as dark and metal as Beaufort and what do I get? This one is not unique, and the previous one is of a crowd-pleasing DNA. Sweet, common, with that synthetic fruity notes you hate so much in Erba Pura bit suddenly love in Monkey Special (such a stupid name). The bottles are cringey, too. Lacking taste, like designed by a ten years old kid that imagines something that is metal and hardcore. Black, and skulls, lots of skulls. Do bear in mind I still rated it as love; my wife very rarely likes leathers and this one she loves.

🩸Interview with the Vampire This is the scent of a vampire lord, exiled once, now returned to rule the night. No sparkle, no seduction. Just shadow, steel, and something forbidden. The opening hits like a curse: Apple, but not a happy orchard one — green and red fused, darkened by saffron and cinnamon, making it almost cherry-plum juicy, like biting into a fruit that bleeds. Then leather wraps around the rose like a breath that approaches your neck — slow, intimate, and dangerous. Not fresh petals — a blackened bloom pressed into an old book bound in human skin. The heart whispers secrets in Latin. And the base? Moss, patchouli, musk, papyrus — like an underground chapel drenched in incense and ink. It doesn’t dry down — it sinks. Imagine Black Phantom and African Leather made an agreement and promised with their blood. But not in scent. In intent. The attitude. Black Phantom minus the dessert, plus an exorcism. African Leather, but not oriental — turned gothic, cloaked in shadows, and carrying the apple from FM Promise like it’s sacred and cursed. But really... nothing smells like this. Think Dracula: Noble. Violent. Melancholic. Seductive only by dominance. He doesn’t flirt — he commands. A creature older than memory, wearing eternity like cologne. It’s not for mortals chasing compliments. This is for the chosen few who understand that darkness has elegance too — and sometimes, power doesn’t need a scream — only a pulse. 10/10. Where Tony Iommi Monkey screams with caramel and passionfruit like a rock ballad in hell, Deified trades the sugar for stone and steel. This is not playful. Not flirty. Not fun. This is ritualistic. This is legacy. If Monkey was the fire, this is the ember that never goes out. You wear it for silence, power, and fear-respect. Not everyone will get it — and that’s exactly the point.
