Purple Accento
Purple Accento by Xerjoff is an unisex eau de parfum in the luxury price tier. It opens with bergamot, mandarin, hyacinth and pineapple, moves into raspberry, iris, jasmine and pink pepper and dries down to amber, musk, sandalwood, vanilla and oud. 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.
- Mandarin Soft, sweet, almost powdery citrus. Gentler than orange.
- Hyacinth Cold, green, watery floral. Smells like early spring.
- Pineapple Tangy, boozy and tropical. Loud and hard to hide.
Heart
- Raspberry Tart, jammy and slightly fuzzy. Very popular in modern sweet scents.
- Iris Cool, powdery, slightly carroty and expensive. The luxury note.
- Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
- Pink Pepper Fizzy, rosy and bright. Adds sparkle without heat.
Dry-down
- Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
- Oud Resinous, medicinal, barnyard-adjacent wood. The most expensive note in perfumery.
