🥭 Cruz Del Sur II by Xerjoff | Samplin' Samples

[@juliscent]

Hello, Marc 👋 Thank you for the great description of this beautiful fragrance. It’s one of my most favorite fragrances for warmer weather. I bought a bottle around 1 year ago and the juice color is richer and darker than in new releases and it projects quite nice, I can smell it from my neck for many hours. I have a metal plate inside the box with meteorite. It’s my favorite mango fragrance, smells so natural. I immediately remember mango smoothies in Thailand 🥭 Have a fantastic weekend ☀️ Julia

[@robes08]

Thanks Julia for writing it's much appreciated on my end. It truly is a magnificent mango based scent.

[@juliscent]

@@robes08 Yes, absolutely agree, it’s so natural and delicious 🥭 Love your reviews and it’s fantastic that you’re back. Saw your amazing review yesterday on Guerlain d'un Bois d'Ete, bravo 👏 I have and love Bois Mysterieux.

[@DixieLiving]

Found it! Thanks for the direction!

[@robes08]

Great, hopefully it helps 👍

[@michaelbullock8011]

Great video and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try it and have a blessed day

[@robes08]

Appreciate you!

[@MuddyGreenMonster]

A great Xerjoff for you to try is Torino 21. A fresh mint & lemon scent, with a herbal edge & a musky base. I know you love your minty fragrances & this is a really nice one.

[@robes08]

it's on the hit list!

[@heermansdisability]

Can't wait to watch. Have always been curious about this one, good for heat, leans fem, all questions. Thanks for the review.

[@robes08]

No problem, happy to help!

[@The_Fuzz1]

There are a bunch of Xerjoff fragrances that I dislike, but Starlight, Italica, Lira, Mefisto, Naxos, etc. are all superb. Starlight is the best cardamom fragrance in the game.

[@robes08]

Starlight is on my radar now because of my subs! Thanks for sharing. I do have a few Xerjoff's to unbox hopefully in the very near future on my channel.

[@aromafromheaven]

Well said mate

[@robes08]

Appreciate it!

[@LotusConsciousness]

Beautiful genuine analysis that gives justice to this creative blend. New sub here 👍🙏

[@robes08]

Welcome aboard! Hope to see you soon in the comments!

[@arianex2575]

Such a special perfume.

[@MattyS54]

great opening but all i really got was vanilla on the drydown, leans feminine. would love to see you take on a frag 'Tales from Zanzibar' this is the killer tropical frag.

[@robes08]

Noted the name of the frag and will look into it.

[@majstorgile]

Thanks for review 👏👏👏

[@robes08]

No problem!

[@simplyrowen]

This will be my first mango, and it was a blind buy. I came here for reassurance 😅

[@FrozenRemix1]

The “milk note” scares me. I don’t recommend wearing it in hot weather. I’d be afraid of it “going sour”.

[@j2kjohnnyb]

“My name is Marc, this is the Robes08 channel, and WELCOME TO THE GUN SHOW!” 💪💪💪😜 I find Mango skin so great for hot days, Curz Del Sur II, best for summer EVENINGS, rainy days, and night out scents, not to mention spring. I find it’s not a huge projector, but it leaves a scent trail that lingers, when I’m moving around I pick it up in the air, but when I go in for a sniff it doesn’t jump off the skin, which with this IMO, is a good thing as I feel if the power was dialed up it’d end up choking people out lol.

[@robes08]

gun show lol hardly... haha you nailed it on the Mango Skin vs Cruz wearability.

[@viggenone]

Haven't tried Mango Skin or this one, Fruity fragrances are not particularly my favorite notes, but I enjoy them, it has to produce a very positive reaction in me to buy a fragrance like this, but I need to try them and see if they click. I've been curious about Cruz del Sur II for a long time, now I have a better idea about how it smells. There's a new mango fragrance from Unique'e Luxury: Mangonifiscent, their other recent release Mashumaro really blew my mind, it's everything contrary to what I like, it's sickly sweet, synthethic and weird but I can't get enough of it 🤦‍♂and it's nuclear! I don't have any Issues with lactonic notes, in fact with any note, if it's well blended I will like it. Thanks for the Samplin' Marc!!!

[@robes08]

Appreciate your amazing comment, I will look into Unique's line as it sounds interesting.

[@snpdo]

This one has been growing on me recently

[@daniellee8162]

Mango Lassi

[@robes08]

Yep

[@308atalay]

Nice video! Thanks for your courage of telling the truth about your positive opinions regarding the fragrance, followed just by mentioning your dislike for the hype train! Which I agree with, although I'd say the low regard for the brand (for me) comes from this "fun fragrance" thing that they seem to be indulging in too much.

[@robes08]

Xerjoff have a few "serious" scents back in the day that were solid including Richwood and Homme but it seems they are really targeting this gourmand trend now.

[@madammadonna]

to me the drydown smells like nougat and mango 🤤

[@robes08]

Yum!

[@Devppp]

Haven’t smelled this one. If I was looking for something lactonic a xerjoff wouldn’t be my first choice. I’m more of a guerlain samsara kind of guy (still need to see you smell the older guerlains bro).

[@robes08]

I have a few of them now in my sample drawer.

[@justaddlight]

Wouldn't say I'm a fan of lactonic scents. Interesting about the apricot though. Both peach and mango in their full and ripe form are difficult to pull off without going in the shampoo or dessert direction. Case in point - Angel Eau Croisiere 2019. Straight up mango sorbet. This one sounds better. 🥭🌺

[@robes08]

Starting to like some of these fruity scents, mango seems like the note du jour lately.

[@smiles9995]

Sounds delicious

[@robes08]

it is!

[@nunyabidniz3262]

I've tried a lot of houses and i consider Xerjoff one of the best in terms of quality and versatility. Can't say I've seen a lot of XJ hype on KZbin and don't care. That's my experience. That said, I'm not into mango or lactonic scents. The quality is outstanding but it's not for me.

[@robes08]

Thanks for sharing, yes lots of hype of new releases like this one, Erba Pura, Tony Iommi etc.. sadly it just waters down the interest for me when it's so scripted as it makes it hard to find something interesting when they release so many scents at the same time.

[@jeffjamjeff6669]

Jesus marc, you're kinda selling me on this one. I never had interest in this one at all, and I'm a fan of the house. May start shopping around....

[@robes08]

it's not bad.

[@daniell5740]

It's deff feminine

[@robes08]

it does have those tendencies

[@sidselalbertsen898]

My nose is broke. All I get is rotten, sour milk… Like reaalyy bad.. No one else who gets this? 😅

[@robes08]

You aren't the only one, many don't like that portion of the scent and it's a big part of it.

[@sidselalbertsen898]

@@robes08 Yes, you sure need to like your glas of milk😅

[@pocopico7409]

This fragrance is TOO fruity for men. It’s way over the top, therefore, it cannot be considered unisex…unless you’re a girly man.

[@robes08]

+1 for me being a girly man.

[@persistentconsistency]

@@robes08 Excellent reply haha!
