[@tomfoil5590]

To me, it's their best release EVER!!! OMG I LOVE THIS STUFF!

[@ivantrudeau8974]

Which one is better in your opinion? I do know both are superb.

[@gechuzhao2178]

Great review! As a huge fan of black sabbath/metal music in general and fragrance, this is must buy! BTW it's pronounced ai o mi

[@kutmastaben]

One of the best 2021 releases of any fragrance house!!!

[@Yarp2d2]

I wanted the black bottle so much, but got the gray one obviously. I think it’s fantastic. 🖤

[@justinwilliams6949]

I'm really impressed with the fragrance. I have about 100 XJ/Casamorati/Kemi scents and Iommi might be a top 10 from XJ for me. Love it.

[@samuelbermudez4811]

Wow that’s a boat load

[@tommyf6576]

Holy crap that’s a LOT of Xerjoff fragrances!!! What’s your top 3?

[@neo7759]

Why ON EARTH would you own over 100 Xerjoff fragrances? And most importantly, why would you feel the need to tell us in a youtube comment?

[@justinwilliams6949]

@@neo7759 I decant around 1500 fragrances so I have a large collection. I said that Iommi would rank in my top 10 XJs so I mentioned how many I have so it would be known that that's top 10 out of 100ish xjs.

[@MP-ej9pw]

Sounds great and since High School in the 70's I'lve loved Iommi's guitar work. If this fragrance is half as good as those licks it will be worth it.

[@miguelsousa9802]

An amazing patchouli scent with leather and a bit of booziness. Reminds me of Armani Prive Cuir Majeste, but with extra patchouli and booziness. Amazing creation.

[@JonMadd]

I just discovered The Conqueror by Voyage Royal at a local discount chemist, 90% similarity for a seventh of the price! The opening is definitely more alcoholic, sharper on the nose, not as rich & smooth as Xerjoff of course, but the dry down is almost identical.

[@sidanx7887]

Ok just got a sample today and while I listen to you describe it as I smell along and I agree with your explanation almost totally - words cannot do this justice it so amazingly good got me a bottle ordered and on the way

[@caizey]

When I sampled Monkey Special, I really enjoyed it, though it was a bit too smoky on my skin. Next to Torino21 my favorite 21' Xerjoff release 👍

[@KWMonty]

My favorite Xerjoff is Symphonium. This one sounds like it might be right up my alley.

[@justaddlight]

Great bottle design. Sounds like a goodie. I was actually just wearing Layton the other day and thinking...how is there no caramel listed in this? 😆 Now I understand why I enjoy it! Certainly the reason I enjoy Lira. And just like that, I'm suddenly on the search for caramel fragrances. 🤣

[@rvsticolive]

Love it! It gets a bit gourmand to me in the dry down. I love it. Sweetness, and some goth vibes 🥰.

[@tommyf6576]

This reminds me a lot of Angel’s Share by Kilian. I get a sweet vanilla infused whiskey, but not much too notes or leather. Lasts a lot longer than AS so this could be a nice alternative. Great scent!

[@jaydenhewison8104]

I just got this recently and absolutely amazing!! I can pick up certain things in but it's blended so well it's like 4 or so notes mix perfectly

[@reasonableselectivefragran5047]

The metallic polish finish is quite befitting to the theme of Hard Rock / Metal theme of Black Sabbath and with the association of patchouli to this fragrance couldn’t be more apt. I am adding it on my wish list. Thanks for the review Sir. Happy New Year…Happy Holidays🎁🎁🎉🎉🍰🍰💯💯💯🎉🎉🎁🎁

[@reasonableselectivefragran5047]

The bottle certainly has the elegant gothic theme

[@FervidFeline]

I adore that bottle design!

[@Eee00123]

I love this fragrance 🔥 I don't smell much leather but everything is blended very well. Very interesting sweet and dark complex mix.

[@sarawilliams5464]

Tony and Xerjoff understand that true goth is dark, sexy and sweet...Just like a poisoned apple! Or the candy-covered Gingerbread house in the middle of the deep, dark woods...Sounds Amazing! Thanks for reviewing...xox

[@BigNewPrinz]

I’ve sampled this in a department store twice now, and I think it’s really astonishingly good….. but I get a real TF Tobacco Oud vibe, it’s very very similar.

[@jeffreysim1342]

I've just received mine 2 days ago. Tonight I use it and my date just couldn't stop smelling me. Smell so good she said😂

[@vermilliontoaster3063]

I would defy it this!! Xerjoff is really the best! Expensive but an expansive library of unique and excellent fragrances.

[@ptc4566]

I always gravitate to fragrances done by Chris Maurice so I'm definitely going to try this one out. The prices though are really killing me. But ok... worth a blind buy?

[@tomfoil5590]

Totally worth a blind buy. Very few fragrances are intoxicating to me. This one is absolutely intoxicating.

[@saadshakir3346]

Yes

[@bruhfish6117]

I usually dislike heavy patchouli fragrances but farrrrrr out this one hits different

[@lewisweaver7575]

I'm currently in Dubai and Fragrance Collector as well. I will go check this out today. BTW Dubai is the Fragrance Mecca of the world.

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Yes and I will visit one day!! 😀

[@madalinnicolae5594]

what perfumes from Dubai brands last and project a lot? I'm planning to visit dubai one day but i'm wondering what's their holy grail brand of perfumes? attars or standard EDP?

[@thehdcode9374]

Been in Dubai. Extremely overpriced unless you're buying Middle eastern fragrances. Why are you gonna buy Xerjoff for instance for 300+ retail instead of around 250$ in the rest of the world? 😊

[@johntolbert5777]

Just order mine for fall and winter and Naxos.

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Awesome!!

[@Versace2x]

Which one do you prefer for the winter / fall? The 2 I’ve been interested in

[@scentlessscents699]

AWSOME! wanted to know all about this one.. let's go....

[@ramywilliam8875]

Great review, thank you so much.

[@d.v.d1942]

Nice review! How does this fragrance compare to Maison Crivelli's Oud Marajuca?

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

They are different. So different.

[@d.v.d1942]

@@ThePerfumeGuy good to know, will try it someday! Thanks🙏

I will order the sample, sounds so good

[@ahmedelgezla3113]

I was waiting for this review I'm very curious about xerjoff fragrances

[@narcisacris8525]

Hands down, this one and 400 are my absolute favorite Xerjoff fragrances!

[@SirOreo62]

I don’t know if I missed it but what is the difference between the more expensive signed version and the cheaper money special version. Is it just the bottle? Any difference in the juices?

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Signed Crystal limited edition bottle and the regular bottle. No difference in the juice! The limited is limited to only 200 bottles.

[@danielvalerio1155]

Hi Sebastian! You rock as always. Would be nice a Sebastian’s discount code for Xerjoff fragrances. Stay safe!

[@Pathfinder1126]

Are there any perfumes similar to this?

[@crazymichaels7898]

Good day Sebastian Can you help with my thought about this? Would you say Monkey Special is basically what Cruz Del Sur I was missing/lacked?

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

You know I don’t k ow CDS1. I know 2 but not 1 so sadly I cannot comment! 🥲

[@terrysmiles8599]

I love that bottle Sabastian!!! Its very Nice...Happy New Year and Great Review!!!!!

[@tloraynevv7353]

I love your videos. Such great information about fragrances. But the noice your mic pics up from your breathing gives me great anxiety. 😥

[@flightgravity7483]

Maybe the name is throwing me off, but for some reason I get a slight banana liqueur smell in this one. I really like it though, quite unique.

[@paulysci925]

Can't find it to buy it anywhere ☹ I want the crystal bottle

[@netsfan1172]

Do they ship to the US?

[@Reina.Nijinsky]

Tyvm for ur vids❣️HappyNewYear🥂🍾HugsfromNYC 🍎

[@MrMjbomba5]

Is there anything unique about this release as far as the scent profile? See a lot compare it to plum japonis and oajan

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Plum Japonais? I don't think so but perhaps from a distance. Definitely not Oajan. It does remind me a bit of Sundowner by Tauer Perfumes.

[@chesterfieldjones1055]

[@sandrolaurignano2461]

He pronounced it correctly.

[@chesterfieldjones1055]

@@sandrolaurignano2461 The world has been calling him Eye-Owe-Me for over 50 years, including numerous video interviews thru the decades with accomplished guitarists who worship at his feet. How sure are you about this? Why would he not of corrected someone before now?

[@_Solaris]

You are correct.

[@michaelharness3258]

Does it remind you of any other fragrance?

[@terrysmiles8599]

If that would have been a 100ml bottle with his signature for 450 bucks i would have bought that right now!!!!But because its only 50ml which really disappoints me i cant buy it....Its just to much of a rip to me....I love it...I want it...But my reasonable side says do not do it!!!!! So i am going with Akro Smoke because its reasonably priced and i here its fire....I was going to get Chanel Le Lion but i am going to hold off on that (For Now still want that one too) And get the Akro!!!

[@Tomatohater64]

I enjoy most boozy fragrances so I'll try a sample of this one. Thanks again, Sebastian.

[@SeanHH1986]

would you say this is an "old school masculine"?

[@ahmedelgezla3113]

Chris Mourice is a great perfumer

[@silverrise83]

Perfect hunt. 👌

[@mousarzuhair]

Wore it and reminded me of Ambre Narguile by Hermes. Great one, not unique tho.

Not much talk about the boozy scent? Im looking for a great perfume with booz

[@mastrorj68]

Why only a 50ml?

[@matthewneufer1758]

Black Sabbath is that the Iommi you speak of..? Tony Iommi knows about basenotes , he named the fragrance after his favorite guitar "monkey".

[@WolfNRaven]

Does it only come in 50ml?

Yes only 50ml

Very sad that so many fantastic noses completely ruin their otherwise fantastic creations with nauseating stretch of patchouli. Tony Iommi is one of those unfortunate creations.

I bet there's a weed note or a cocaine accord in them.

just because its associated with black sabbath? 😂
