Review: Xerjoff - 1861 Zefiro | Antique Incense

[@mrspress8057]

Your reviews are fantastic! I love how in depth you go.

[@ntwalipat2]

He's amazing at breaking down perfume scents. I would've only probably described it as "a lovely wet wood-like smell" but there's more to it. Lol

[@marcustay8774]

Dude i love your review, you are so detailed and well versed in explaining the scent, i think it’s pretty rare as compared to a lot of the other major fragrance reviewers, please please please make more videos, i’m subscribed and looking forward to more reviews!

[@Puddycat00]

Thanks for this very nice and insightful review, I’ve been thinking of buying this one to add to my Xerjoff collection but I didn’t know much about it. I do very much like incense in my perfumes. And I love sandalwood, and Amber.

[@AlbertJusto]

Great review. You know your stuff. Noticed the guitars, Rock on!

[@nordstorma]

Wow! The best review on Zefiro! Thank you very much!

[@bryanryan4504]

I bought zefiro recently but it is taking them forever to send it out. I can't wait to get it. I do have ivory route it is alright not great. However an incense focused one sounds more interesting.

[@kirkdouglas869]

i love this video bro. good review. keep at it. sending you love and blessings my bro

[@mirjamlimburg9040]

I have got a sample now. I tried it, I don ‘t know yet. The dry down is very pleasant, lovely. But after the start it’s really like a church. It does remind me a bit of something sad. Not a wedding. .... I have to try it a few times more. Give it another emotion! But it is really nice overall Bye Mirjam

[@TalkingScents]

It's so great you tried it! The incense is very serious and sombre isn't it? I love it but I do think it is less playful and more straight than anything. Definitely not a wedding!

[@fazman40]

Thanks for the in-depth review. I have only tried Cruz Del Sur II, which I enjoyed and I would like to try Zefiro and others from Xerjoff. Cheers!

[@TalkingScents]

Oh nice, I'd like to try Cruz Del Sur II too! I almost blind bought that a couple of weeks ago, but I've had my eye on Zoologist Moth and Akro Awake first, it's definitely on a list to try though, I don't have enough fruity fragrances!

[@fazman40]

Cool! I have never heard of Akro Fragrances before. Just had a look at the website and the fragrances look interesting, going to try to get some samples. Zoologist is a brand I am looking to get more samples from too, I enjoyed wearing Elephant recently. Thanks, Ben!

[@TalkingScents]

oh great, I would love to get the samples for the whole zoologist line at some point, they all seem quite interesting to me! Akro is pretty new I think, but the perfumer has been around a long time and I've heard some good things about all 6 of their new line. I think I'm going to pick up the discovery set next week, so I'll make a video for sure!

[@adoulah28]

Great review man 👍 I might pull the trigger on a full bottle of this one 🤗 because I really liked the review especially the part about the comparison with Ivory Route of which I love the smell of it too.😍 Note:- I already have Naxos, Renaissance in my collection 😍 This should be the last one in the 1861 line of which is my favorite line out of the whole Xerjoff lines/collection 😁

[@TalkingScents]

Thanks! Yeah, it's definitely a good one and you gotta get it just to complete the set at this point! haha

[@johnnygorena5318]

@@TalkingScentsno he would need Decas to complete the set but maybe didn’t know at the time of this video cheers

[@christieo1761]

Hi Ben! Thanks for the review. This one sounds a bit too serious. I'm waiting for my Ivory Route sample after your review of that one. We'll see.. I like incense fragrances but this one is scary-ish. Have you decided to make a fragrance for retail? I think you could sell it (at least locally) at work maybe? Who knows, it might take off! You seem to really know how to pick out certain notes well. That's a gift you should use. In my opinion, of course. :)

[@TalkingScents]

Yeah, I think this is lovely, but it is quite straight for sure. Ivory route is the more fun, easy-going feel of the two and they definitely share a similar DNA. I hope you like it! Funnily enough, Just this week I finished my first fragrance that I've been tinkering with for almost a year now! I have some rough formulas for two more which will make a little three scent collection (all based on the concept of a Japanese/Dutch trading post from the 1600s), but it would be very low-key if I sell them. I was thinking of possibly just doing a little Etsy shop or something similar but I'm not entirely sure yet! Thank you for your supportive words though!

[@christieo1761]

Yes! A little Etsy shop. I love your interesting idea on a Japanese/Dutch trading post! How did you ever think of that?@@TalkingScents

[@majstorgile]

Nice review

[@mirjamlimburg9040]

I am going to find a sample, because Ilike incense very much. Only honey I am not sure. By Kilian there is a Back to Black where a lot of honey is used and that was not for me. Ivory Route I like very much but a variation is welcome. I like your descriptions from Xerjoff! I have got 3 fragrances already with your recommendations. Delicious, thank you very much! I let you know when I will buy it. Bye Mirjam

[@TalkingScents]

Please do let me know and your thoughts! I think you'll be okay with the honey, for me it's very much in the back of the fragrance, but then I don't mind it, you might find it horrid! I look forward to hearing your thoughts!

[@amitvij6068]

Hi zafiro or 40 knots?

[@OscarLopez-cu7xg]

Hi Zefiro or joint the club ? Which one do you prefer ?

[@alanledzep1967]

Great review. Subbed.

[@Fine.Smells]

Great review mate. It's never one that wowed me this one 😞

[@TalkingScents]

Cheers, I think it's quite simple tbh, as an incense fan I love it, but I can see that it might be a bit unexciting.

[@Fine.Smells]

@@TalkingScents I think it's because all I got from it was straight up incense 😂 love most xerjoff but not this.

[@layladankha3923]

can a lady wear this?

[@KleinOhnesorg]

Depends on the Lady. But, yes, I would say definitely.
