Xerjoff Tony Iommi Monkey Special, Sample
Tony Iommi Monkey Special by Xerjoff is a captivating fragrance for both women and men, a creation born from an evocative collaboration with the legendary Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi. Launched in 2021, this scent encapsulates the essence of Iommi's powerful, unforgettable riffs with a composition that is both bold and intriguing. The opening is a vibrant interplay of notes: rum lends a rich, intoxicating warmth, while passionfruit adds a juicy sweetness, tempered by the bright, citrusy sparkle of bergamot and the aromatic freshness of geranium.
As the fragrance evolves, the heart reveals a complex, textured richness. The luxurious scent of leather intertwines with the spicy warmth of cinnamon, evoking a sense of depth and sophistication. Singapore patchouli adds an earthy, slightly sweet undertone, harmonising beautifully with the opulent, velvety scent of Bulgarian rose. This heart is a testament to the seductive allure and complexity that defines this fragrance.
In the dry-down, the scent settles into a sumptuous base, where caramel and vanilla create a creamy, gourmand sweetness. This is enriched by the resinous warmth of labdanum and the smooth, woody character of sandalwood. A touch of musk and ambergris adds a sensual, animalic depth, while tonka bean provides a soft, nutty finish. Together, these notes create a warm, enveloping aura that lingers, leaving an unforgettable impression reminiscent of the darkly addictive songs that define Tony Iommi's legendary musical legacy.
