Perseveranza
Perseveranza by Xerjoff is an unisex eau de parfum in the luxury price tier. It opens with ginger, citron and pimento, moves into clove, vetiver and elemi and dries down to tonka bean, styrax and labdanum. Expect around 10 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Ginger Warm, zesty and slightly soapy. Bridges citrus and spice.
- Citron Thick-skinned citrus, more zest than juice. Waxy and bright.
- Pimento Allspice — clove, cinnamon and nutmeg at once. Hot and rounded.
Heart
- Clove Hot, dry and dental. Powerful — a little goes a long way.
- Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
- Elemi Peppery resin with a lemon-pine lift. Bright and dry.
Dry-down
- Tonka Bean Almond, hay and vanilla in one. Warm and slightly nutty.
- Styrax Smoky, leathery balsam. Slightly rubbery and dark.
- Labdanum Sticky, leathery resin. Dark honey and old books.
