Xerjoff Cruz del Sur I, Sample
Cruz del Sur I by Xerjoff is an Amber Spicy fragrance for women and men that captures the senses with its opulent and exotic charm. The opening is a vibrant burst of rich rum, mingling with the sweet, juicy essence of grapes and the bright, zesty touch of bergamot. This initial burst feels like a sunlit afternoon, warm and inviting, setting the stage for the deeper notes to unfold. The rum lends a boozy warmth, while the bergamot adds a refreshing lift, creating an intriguing contrast that is both lively and sophisticated.
As the fragrance transitions to its heart, the scent deepens with the richness of dried fruits and the aromatic allure of cloves and cumin. These spices intertwine with the woody presence of cedar and the sweet spiciness of cinnamon, crafting a heart that is both comforting and exotic. The dried fruits offer a natural sweetness, complementing the spicy warmth of cloves and cumin, while cedar provides a grounding woody undertone that enriches the composition.
In the dry-down, Cruz del Sur I reveals its luxurious base notes of leather and castoreum, enveloped in the smoky embrace of incense and myrrh. Labdanum and sandalwood add a creamy, balsamic depth, while amber infuses the scent with a warm, golden glow. This base is a captivating blend, where the soft, resinous quality of myrrh meets the rich, animalic notes of leather and castoreum, creating a mesmerising and enduring finish. The fragrance culminates in an aura of opulence and mystery, leaving a lasting impression of sophisticated elegance.
