Esquel

This is a very nicely blended and elegant floriental fougere with a sweet touch, once it gets to the mid to dry down. It's completely unisex imho and not a strict feminine at all. A little strange they marketed it as such. The opening is very strong and a bit synthetic smelling almost furniture polish like and needs 20-30mins to reach the good stages. Xerjoff seems to do this sometimes to achieve longevity I find. After this things start to open and this a very good slightly spicy and slightly sweet fougere crossed with a barbershop. The mid reminds me of Habit Rouge and Jicky with echoes of MFK Lumiere Noire. As an aside this is a review from a brand new but old style bottle I happened to get a great deal on. I really like those older Xerjoff bottles they have an interesting character about them. edit: I recently picked up Guerlain Jicky and updated the above (I said it reminded me a bit of Shalimar's guerlainade before). Jicky and Esquel have a lot of overlap, but Esquel has a deeper quality blend and a custardy vanilla. If you want the value buy, definitely grab Jicky.

I love this one. Opens with a fresh citrussy blast and lots of lavender. The sweet vanilla quickly becomes apparent but never becomes too cloying or gourmand. The drydown is lovely, soft and musky with the powdery iris and patchouli quite noticeable to my nose. I have no idea why it's marketed as for women as the lavender gives a strong barbershop vibe which just becomes softer and a bit more feminine as the vanilla and powder come through. Very much unisex in my opinion. Performance is strong with great longevity and moderate sillage. I get a lot of compliments when wearing this. I would never pay the price for a full bottle but I have a 5ml decant that has lasted me well as a little goes a long way.

An excellent modern take on the classic fougere. Lavender and myrtle abundant, especially in the opening before taking a backseat to warm and comforting vanilla drydown. Great longevity (as expected with Xerjoff) and good projection for the first 3-4 hours before settling a little closer to the skin. Clean, warm, and fresh. Excellent versatility. Can definitely be worn as a signature scent. Great for any occasion and absolutely inoffensive. Do not judge off the heavy, masculine opening (although personally I love that as well) because this transitions beautifully into something much more unisex and pleasing as it dries down.

This is beautiful. It starts out fresh, sweet and bitter and then morphs into cozy and warm. I love the use of cinnamon in this one as it never takes front stage but supports the other notes. I feel like this can be worn in any season for any occasion. I'm also a bit of an outsider here because I love the opening. The way the herbal notes play with the citrus is beautiful. Were it not for the price, I'd consider this full bottle worthy. For now I will enjoy my sample.

EN I discovered this company at the fair Fragranze 2012 in Florence Italy. It wasn't easy to find then the store that sells fragrances to the regular customer like me, but in the end I was able to buy the whole line from the site ausliebezumduft.de I must say that there is a system to buy perfumes Xerjoff paying the relatively low price (the normal price of the bottle of 50 ml is up to US$ 260-325). Since the Shooting Stars line and the Oud Stars line are the masterpieces of artistic perfumery, it is worth to buy the Shooting Stars - Discovery Sets - Part One and Part Two and Oud Stars Collection - Discovery Set that cost US$ 208 for each of the first two sets and US$ 254 for the Oud collection set. Of course there are the Discovery Sets for XJ17/17 Collection (US$ 331) and XJ Casamorati 1888 Vintage Collection (US$ 182), but personaly I do not like the last two lines, so I didn't order them. In each set there are 6 fragrances of 15ml each and therefore the price for a volume of 50 ml drops to US$116 for Shooting Stars collection and to US$142 for Oud Stars collection instead of USD$ 260 and US$ 325 for full version bottles. IT Ho scoperto questa casa di profumi alla fiera Fragranze 2012 a Firenze. Non era poi facile di trovare il negozio che vendesse i profumi ad un mortale come me, ma alla fine sono riuscito ad acquistare tutta la linea dal sito ausliebezumduft.de Devo dire che c'è un sistema per comprare i profumi di Xerjoff al prezzo relativamente molto basso (il prezzo normale della bottiglietta di 50 ml arriva a circa €200-250). Visto che tutta la linea Shooting Stars e la linea Oud Stars sono i capolavori della profumeria artistica, vale la pena a comprare il Shooting Stars - Discovery Sets - Part One and Part Two e Oud Stars Collection - Discovery Set che costano €160 per ciascuno dei primi due e €195 per la collezione Oud. Ovviamente esistono anche i Discovery Sets per XJ17/17 Collection (€255) e per XJ Casamorati 1888 Vintage Collection (€140), ma quest'ultimi a me non piacciono. Nel ciascun set ci sono 6 profumi nelle bottigliette di 15ml e quindi il prezzo per un volume di 50ml crolla a €89 per Shooting Stars collection e €109 per Oud Stars invece di €200 per Shooting Stars e di €250 per Oud Stars.

Just to set the record straight, Esquel and the other "Shooting Stars" perfumes were launched within the past year or so, not in 1888. Apparently at some point Xerjoff took over another Italian perfume manufacturer, Casamorati, founded in 1888, and has perpetuated several of their perfumes under the 1888 label. Esquel starts off sweet and citrusy, with aromatic herbs like lavender or, more precisely, artificially lavender-scented soap or men’s shaving product. Not the most auspicious start. As the scent develops, it takes on a hint of nutmeg and vanilla, and the lavender becomes a little more woody and realistic. After about 2 hours it dries down to a powdery nutmeg vanilla musk scent that is actually quite lovely. The vanilla musk seems to be the stable state because it lasts for the rest of the day. There's plenty of sillage throughout. A good perfume, especially in the later stages, but not worth the price.

This is a very nice perfume. It opens with citrus and floral/herbal notes, but isn't light or crisp in any way (a deep, smoky quality distinguishes this from many other citrus-based fragrances). It continues to develop into a softer, sweeter spicy vanilla with good lasting power. Overall, very nice with the exception of a brief but weird transitional phase (just after the opening) that smells exactly like fabric scorched with a clothing iron. Very strange experience, though short-lived, therefore not a show stopper. I give it an 8 out of 10. Don't know if I will decide to purchase a full bottle one day. Dhajala and Shingl are more interesting in my opinion.

I wasn’t fond of the opening: a powdery tonka driven scent with lavender in the mix that smells synthetic. I would describe it as annoying, and though it didn’t trigger a headache I could imagine it would for others. I had to wait 45 minutes for the drydown, but it was worth it. Here the scent softens with a sweet musk. Yes, I can smell the vanilla and spices better too. The whole composition comes alive, becoming more natural, becoming more interesting. I wish Esquel started out this way. Definitely a unisex scent as others have noted.

it's amazing this fragrance similar interlude man of amouage exact in Incense scent trust me you will find this scent in this fragrance amazing if you like interlude man you will like this it's rich fragrance باختصار اذا اعجبك عطر انترلود مان من امواج سيعجبك هذا العطر قريبا من عطر انترولد مان في احد مراحله فقط قد تملح شيئ يذكرك بانترلود مان ربما رائحة البخور او الرائحة السمكوية عطر مميز اللافندر هنا جدا ناعم رائحة السويت مع الاريس جدا جدا رايقة حبيتها الفانيلا جدا هادئة وليست ثقيلة عطر مميز

The usually cold, clean, crisp lavender note in a warm mediterranean environment. A paradox to me, but I'm sure it's not new and not necessary a bad thing. Petitgrain and myrtle abundant. As a whole, it lacks elegance and refinement.

Here we have yet another demonstration of the thesis that gender designations in perfume have become meaningless. Why is Xerjoff Esquel marketed to women, when the dominant notes are those of stereotypical men's colognes? Lavender, herbs, and woods are very dominant in the opening. As the perfume develops it becomes a bit sweet, but then it just seems to me like a men's vanilla fougère. It never becomes very sweet, though, so I am wondering why this is not listed as unisex? I suppose that Esquel would seem unique, as a women's fragrance, but when considered more broadly, among men's and women's fragrances, there's nothing new here at all. That said, the ingredients smell good and well blended. If you like lavender and herbs and wood and just a touch of vanilla sweetness and some good old fashioned oriental base, you'd probably like this perfume--whatever your gender happens to be!

Let's start with the opening: sweet citrus, wax and some kind of wood furniture cleaning product,not very pleasant for the first 30minutes. After two hours the citrus turns into a discret lavender vanilla cream with citrus remaining on the top. Hour three you get a softening musk scent with chrismas cake and some very light cinnamon floating through the air. That's the stage I would like to get earlier without the weird wood wax in the beginning. Unfortunately the sillage is very discret. However the effect last about 7 hours if you continue sniffing your skin ....The parfum is quite intriguing due to the combination of a light citrus gourmand and an elegant discret vanilla chypre style, a pair that seems quite rare but NOT for me.

Esquel is a gorgeous warm Oriental reminiscent of Shalimar, without that powdery animalic beast element. Just lavender and aromatics on top of a rich vanilla and and various Oriental notes that provide a strong sweet base. There is creaminess in the heart, thanks to iris most of all, I think. Ylang ylang and cinnamon together really heighten the sweet Oriental character--the cinnamon is strong, but doesn't dominate, since the creamy florals and benzoin-tonka-vanilla base give it a backbone. There is a soft patchouli touch, in the style of Coromandel by Chanel, or Organza Indecence by Givenchy. I don't want to know the price, or care to know it, since my sample will last me plenty long.

It's ok. I like the barbershop and the vanilla spice, but there is something a bit pungent in there. Try before you buy.

WOW very amazed at this blend hear. Barbershop vibe wit some citrus notes and vanilla in the background. Love it
