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.

The opening is a blast of red tart sweetness, at first somewhat overwhelming, but I soon figured out was a cinnamon-apple note. Not an edible kind of cinnamon-apple, maybe more like a Roy Lichtenstein representation. Weirdly, I mean that in a good way. As it develops, a jammy rose emerges, still dusted with warm spices. Dry yet sweet. Normally, and sadly, rose usually turns into a sharp bug-spray odor on my skin, and I avoid rose fragrances as a rule. But this rose remains rich and deep on my skin. Plus, it's not a dominant "Oh, there's a rose" note by any means - I have to concentrate to detect it. But once identified, it hangs over the composition as if you are standing under an arbor ceilinged with rose bushes dense with ripe, heavy blossoms. With further development, the leather starts to come out. Again, leather often doesn't work well on my skin, turning metallic and harsh. But this is a thick, smooth, muscular leather which is super sexy and is actually kind of turning me on as I smell my own arm. I feel like I should not be admitting this. Underneath it all is a piney-woody base, a bit zesty and aromatic, that balances really well against the heavy sweetness and leather. Any one of these elements as a primary force in a fragrance is usually not my bag at all. I don't really like heavily sweet or fruity fragrances, I don't go for rose fragrances, I want to like leather but it clashes with me, and I'm not into fresh aromatics as they feel too masculine for me. Looking at the note pyramid, I wouldn't have picked this to try, but I received a free sample with some other purchase. HOWEVER. Deified is SUCH a swooning integration of all of these elements, that the final expression transcends the individual components. I want to bathe in it, and breathe it in forever.

After an exhaustive search for the ultimate masculine rose-oriented fragrance, I finally discovered this gothic masterpiece. It has a bold, juicy opening that features spiced apple then quickly transitions to the heart notes. The prolonged middle section features a very deep red rose fragrance supported primarily by dark leather and patchouli; the opening fruits and spices linger enough to bridge the olfactory phases together. Performance is stellar--once the scent is established, it persists for hours (and hours) without fading or going stale. Recently, in anticipation of a work trip, I spritzed an outfit before packing it away. Upon arrival at my hotel the following evening, I was able to take the outfit directly from the suitcase and wear it to the welcome reception; it smelled just as fresh as the night before. I received multiple compliments throughout the event. Over several wearings, this has become my signature scent. I'm picking up an extra 50 mL bottle and eventually will stockpile more in case of any reformulations (or, God forbid, discontinuation). Make no mistake--this is a rock star fragrance. If you prefer a subtle fragrance that allows you to blend into a crowd or office environment, this ain't it. But if you have the personality to pull this off and don't mind making a loud statement, then put your faith in the Deified. 10/10.

Opens quite complex! A concoction of tropical fruits, rose, apple, cinnamon, and saffron. It was an instant love for me (at the open). In the mid, the rose is more prominent, and a smokey leather really starts to project. There is also an earthiness there. Further in the dry down, the most prominent note is leather, followed by a woody sandalwood, and a faint rose scent (the dry down for me is a like but not a love). This fragrance is in the same category as the OG Monkey Special, but they are not alike in scent. Diefied leans more Oriental Spicy, and is more versatile, where as Monkey Special is more boozy with a very pronounced patchouli note, and would get less wear overall, had I owned both. I'm not going to say which is better; they are so different that owning both would not be redundant. Both are pretty powerful projectors as well and very long lasting. Ultimately, it would come down to your personal taste as to which is better. But whichever one you choose, you'd be the owner of a very unique, sexy, and badasss fragrance! This fragrance is pretty new, but I've been successful in finding it at many online sellers with 30% discounts or more, and that would be right around how much I would be willing to pay for this fragrance.

I do believe this has to be one of the greats when it comes to a leather scent that is not too heavy, unlike some perfumes *ahem* (Gasoleather, Ombre Leather) This one is really good, but also a messy orchestra that smells like how I imagine a fight using instruments would sound like, it's kinda of all over the place, but in an oddly beautiful way. The apple is really nice, balances out the darker notes, and the saffron... man the saffron. I don't get any cinnamon, like at all. For me, rose, apple and leather stick out the most. It projects like a beast, I sprayed it in my room and it smelt like sweet, sweet Deified for 3 days straight, and on skin it lasts upwards of 8 hours, much more as a skin scent. On the dry down, it is mainly leather, but a light leather that smells more like an old leather jacket, feint, nice, and surprisingly mass appealing. The only problem I really have with this fragrance that the smell really changes with your nose, one day is will smell like how it does in the cap, the next is will smell like a piece of water logged birch you picked up in your local lake. Definitely better than Monkey Special by far, in my opinion, but both are super nice. Sure wish I would have gotten La Capitale though.

Words cannot begin to describe how sexy this fragrance is!!! Every time I wear it I feel like I want to have coitus with myself (pause). The rose/leather combo here is godlike! At first I thought I wouldn't enjoy this scent as leather fragrances are usually too sharp and don't really "fit" me and the rose ones I've tried in the past come off as too feminine. However, in this blend, neither of the two take center stage, and work perfectly together. Enhanced by green apple and saffron the scent turns into a slightly sweet, yet dark and misterious masterpiece. Don't even get me started on the performance. I'm usually an oversprayer but you've got to take it easy with this one. After a day of wear it projects and fills up a room as if you just sprayed it. On clothes it will last until the heat death of the universe. I still haven't dared to try it in warmer weather for fear my heart might actually stop. An absolute BEAST of a fragrance, definitely not your daily office scent, but my God- is it something special! Praying every day this never gets discontinued or reformulated. 🙏

I just don't know what it is, but Deified is extremey addictive to me, I love smelling it in my skin, I know it is a dark scent that won't please everyone, but it really pleases me. That deep leather and rose marriage is beautiful, some fruity and floral undertones round it up and keeps me guessing. The only negative for me is in the opening, for a few minutes after applying it I get a "crayon" or "playdough" scent that is kind of harsh, it dissipates fairly quik so its not a problem for me. Deified is a bold statement, not everyone can pull it off, I guess most leather dominant scents are not for everyone, but beleive me, if you can pull it off you are in for a treat. Deified screams money, taste and attitude. It's strong, I spray it twice and that is more than enough, if I want to keep it going strong I'll spray once more 6-8 hours later, projects great and lasts at least 12 hours on skin and eternal on clothes. Not safe at all to blind buy, it is super cheap to sample Xerjoff fragrances so just do that, I just love this fragrance, it is a solid 9/10 for me, Cheers!!!

It took me a few wearings to get to know this fragrance...I wasn't sure if I liked it. But now...I can't get enough of it! I love PDMs Carlisle and I noticed Deified had similar notes like apple, saffron, rose, osmanthus, spice and patchouli. It doesn't smell like Carlisle but I love the way the notes are blended in this. It has a candied Granny Smith apple note that lasts forever with a very gentle leather in it. This fragrance is a beast in longevity! On skin it lasts for 20 hours+ and I'm not exaggerating. You will wake up from your sleep and still smell Deified strongly on your skin. My wife absolutely loves smelling this fragrance on me. To me it smells fresh yet it's very dense which will fill a room so you won't have to spray on much. It's quite pricey but I believe it's worth it. I just wish it came in a 100 ml bottle...maybe in the future. I believe Deified could be worn all year round just go easy on the sprays in Summer. I give this fragrance a 10/10. I've already ordered a back up bottle as I love it that much!

I won this as part of TLTG’s member raffle, So I went in completely blind. The moment I opened the cap, I was greeted with a beautiful rose even before spraying. Then I sprayed it and got a bright leather with some fruitiness that lightens the leather note. The saffron comes to play after the initial blast, up close you get leather and saffron with the apple balancing it and giving it some brightness. In the air, I can pick up the cinnamon and a bit of the rose. I’m an over sprayer but this will prob be 5 sprays max for me. I can’t wait to wear it a few more times this winter. This is definitely one of those “less is more” frags that will ruin the magic if oversprayed. Although it’s niche with some complex notes, this pretty versatile and can be worn on many occasions & cooler spring and fall evenings. This is instantly my top 2 leather along with Ombre Leather. They’re not the same at all , but I love that they’re both leather frags with an elegant twist rather than traditional leather bombs.

I just got Xerjoff Tony Iommi Deified today. And wore it the whole day. This is an exquisite warm, sweet, woody, and leathery fragrance. For me opens with a subtle bergamot note (tho its not mentioned) and floral warm sweetness from rose that immediately feels refined. As it develops, after 60 minutes, the leather takes center stage, beautifully intertwined with a rich rose note, creating a bold yet elegant profile. As the fragrance settles, it transitions into a luxurious blend of leathery, sweet, woody, and earthy accords. The dry-down feels warm and sophisticated. When it comes to performance, this fragrance is truly BEAST mode! With just 3-4 sprays, it lasts all day on the skin, projecting strongly for hours. Overall, Tony Iommi Deified strikes a perfect balance, offering a floral-leathery-woody composition with a touch of warm freshness that makes it versatile and truly unforgettable. It is slight dark but easy to pull off.

It opens with some surprising freshness due to saffron and green apple, but it lasts only a short moment before getting darker to a very beautyful rose on top of heavy thick leather accord. The ptchouli can be noticed but it's not fresh at all, all goes dark in the dry down. Enormous sillage, room filling level, and long lasting. I find it very cool, what is most interesting to me is that it has this rose-leather mood instead of the usual rose-wood thing. In facts I dont' agree much to the comments that underline the similitude with Oud Maracujà. This is heavy leather, OM is on wood side. They share the saffron-rose thing but it's different anyway and the saffron is quick to go (in both cases so it's not the main actor here). Super cool fragrance for the cold nights. It is quite overpriced as every Xerjoff but if you find it on a discount it can be a nice twist for your winter collection, a real rock star fragrance.

This is, for sure, not a full review. The reason is because I've been playing around with a sample, and I just got the full bottle today. What I can say is that this guys is not similar to Monkey Special. They are two completely different animals. Also, if anyone is familiar with the Indie House Imaginary Authors, try to remember how the first edition of Bull's Blood used to smell like. Now, mix that one with Slow Explosions from the same house, and you get Deified. My opinion and experience, of course. Overall, do I like it? I looooove it!!! It is masculine, dark, gothic, with nuances of a black rose and leather. The sweetness of the Saffron, Apple and Cinnamon gives this frag a uniqueness so pronounced that, besides the comparisons I just did with Bull's Blood and Slow Explosions, it's a unique animal I keep calling it an animal; and I do because that's how it performs. Do recommend it.

One of my favorites. Right off the bat, this fragrance is strong, as in lasting a wash or two. It’s easy to overspray, I personally I make sure to spray this one on pulse points under a layer of clothing or two. The scent starts off with a mix of fruity and spiced aromas that remind me of plum wine on a leather couch. The leather is a clean, almost suede leather (as opposed to the more animalic cypriol or castoreum notes). As it dries down the leather, patchouli, and moss take center stage making the scent take a darker and more mysterious tone. This scent is perfect for fall and winter, but can be worn nights throughout the year. The longevity and silage are enormous, I once misstated it on my mouse pad and could smell it halfway across the house for days. 10/10 would recommend, but be wary of over spraying it.

I absolutely adore this. I visited the flagship Xerjoff in Milan recently and fell in love from first sniff, but little did I know the magic was all in the dry down. This perfume starts with a dark boozy opening, you can pick up the cinnamon, apple saffron. It is blended very well, and very dark, and I could swear this has a rum/boozy element to it. Then it dries down to an intoxicating and luxurious leather scent after maybe an hour which projects +6 hours and the longevity stayed on my clothes for days. This is nothing compared to the original but it is for sure not a flanker, it is an entity of its own. This is a perfect date night winter scent. Longevity 10 out of 10 Silage 9 out of 10 versatility 7 out of 10 hands-down, my best leather fragrance in my collection.

Tengo una inspiración de ombre leather que probablemente nunca vaya a terminar porque nunca encuentro la ocasión para usarla ya que para esos climas o situaciones prefiero usar otras, además considero que es un aroma un poco unisex hacia el lado de femenino con esa mezcla de cuero y frambuesa. Como aroma es bueno pero no me veo luciendo y disfrutando ese perfil. Sin en cambio con Tony iommi deifeld aparte de tener una salida imponente su secado es más varonil y con un cuero seco. Su duración y proyección son bastante buenas, tal vez con 2 o 3 atomizaciones estarás cubierto por toda la noche. Sin duda compraré una botella y si la termino compraré otra, así de bueno es.

I smell Sandalwood but it isn't listed in the notes. The leather rose combination on top of a musky patchouli is magical. There is a very good dupe of Xerjoff Tony Iommi Deified from Nkperfumes.com called "Naples" In fact they have many "inspired from Xerjoff" fragrances on the website and you can get the smell of this "deified" in 1oz for $40 and 1.7 ounce for $60. The ingredients are 30% by volume which is high almost an extrait so a little goes a long way. I would say it's about 90% the same as Deified for much less. I will still score the original when I can afford to do so but in the meantime I can still enjoy the fragrance.
