Xerjoff can do no wrong. I am a little wary of scents with tobacco notes, having had a few bad experiences in the distant past, and would never specifically request a sample with a tobacco note, so thank you Libertine for sending this one through! However (unsurprisingly!) Xerjoff have got it just right. This fragrance is perfectly balanced tobacco, freshness from the mandarin, floral from the tuberose and orris, sweet from the vanilla, and amber from everything else. Highly recommended, and blind buy safe - but then I think all Xerjoff fragrances are blind buy safe as they are all truly incredible.
