Mefisto Gentiluomo
Mefisto Gentiluomo by Xerjoff is an unisex eau de parfum in the luxury price tier. It opens with bergamot, grapefruit, lavender and lemon, moves into iris and rose and dries down to amber, cedarwood and musk. Expect around 10 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
- Grapefruit Bitter, slightly sweaty citrus. More grown-up than lemon.
- Lavender Herbal, clean, slightly medicinal. Barbershop in one note.
- Lemon Clean, sour, instantly recognisable. Bright but burns off fast.
Heart
- Iris Cool, powdery, slightly carroty and expensive. The luxury note.
- Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
Dry-down
- Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
