Homme Anniversary

This is a beautiful fragrance. I have it added to my cart in hopes for a black Friday sale. The best price I can find is $220. I found the OG Homme for $180 but have not sampled it. To be honest, I am quite conflicted. Its a 9 all day as far as scent is concerned. My issue is with performance. I am not in a scent bubble and I applied 1ml. Sure I can smell it if I look for it, but for this price, I need to know what I am wearing. It would be a no brainer of this was a $60 bottle. I may just roll the dice and grab the OG Homme in hopes that it projects better. Supposedly its more masculine as well which is fine by me. I love the powdery vibe Anniversary gives off which I would assume makes it unisex. 7.5/10

Absolute 10/10. Masterpiece level perfumery. One of the best Xerjoff creations of all time. Every once in a while (longer nowadays since everything is over-sweetened and bubblegummy or candied) you see a house create something unique. And I don't mean fecal, or animalic, or overly oud-laden, but just different. This is that. This fragrance evolves through so many phases of development that each time I put it on I get something new that I didn't experience prior. When I have a hard time 'figuring out' a fragrance, and I can't stop smelling or being intrigued by it, then it is a winner. This is that. Eddie B's article is a colorful peek into this offering....put into words better than I ever could...

Didn't really have any expectations but wasn't pleasantly surprised and I actually like it quite a lot. Very smooth leather with creamy lemon is what I get. Someone mentioned cumin; I HATE the cumin note in perfumes and there's for sure no cumin in this. I can see this working all year round. The leather note is always there but it's not taking over. Would I pay retail for this? No, but if you can get it at like 30-40% off I'd say it could be worth to try out.

The first time I sprayed Xerjoff Homme Anniversary, it felt both comfortingly familiar and strikingly new. Its citrus-sweet DNA reminded me of Guerlain Habit Rouge, but Sergio Momo’s touch took it to another level. The raw materials are noticeably top-tier, lending a deeper, more luxurious feel. With all due respect to Guerlain, Xerjoff’s execution here just resonates more for me—bolder, smoother, and undeniably memorable.

Lovely herbal citrus opening. Lovely spicy leather. Even lovelier sweet candied fruits. But on the overall, this veered off the course of male centered perfume as the name dictated quite a bit. While it’s not quite a unisex perfume, it’s quite a bit sweeter than what some gents would prefer. While I love this for what it is, I still prefer the original.
