Torino23

Torino23 by Xerjoff is an unisex eau de parfum in the luxury price tier. It opens with bergamot, cardamom, nutmeg and rose, moves into jasmine, neroli, tuberose and ylang-ylang and dries down to amber, cashmere wood, cedarwood, musk and patchouli. 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.
Cardamom Cool, aromatic spice with a eucalyptus lift. Smells expensive.
Nutmeg Warm, woody and slightly sweet. Cosy without being gourmand.
Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.

Heart

Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
Neroli Distilled orange blossom. Green, soapy and elegant.
Tuberose Creamy, waxy and enormous. The loudest white flower.
Ylang-Ylang Banana-custard floral. Rich, tropical and slightly rubbery.

Dry-down

Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
Cashmere Wood Soft, fuzzy, slightly musky wood. Adds a blurred warmth.
Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
