You awaken on a paradise island. Beneath your feet - warm golden sand, before your eyes - the crystal smoothness of the ocean water, above your head - a clear, cloudless sky. It was the fragrance of Mefisto by Xerjoff that transported you here. This perfumed water has freed you from the hustle and bustle of the noisy city, gifting you pleasure and tranquility in a heavenly corner. Here, the sun shines brightly, beautiful flowers bloom, and juicy fruits ripen.
This Italian perfume smells of fresh sea breeze, citrus, and noble wood species. Its initial accord tingles with lemon zest and the subtle bitterness of grapefruit. At its heart, the scents of roses and irises swirl, making the composition more luxurious. The trail remains persistent and rich, a blend of sandalwood, cedar, amber, and musk. Precious and rare components create an unforgettable aftertaste. Choose the fragrance Mefisto by Xerjoff - it will replenish your strength, energize you, and perfect your image.
It has endured through the winter, and it's such a beauty. Forget my previous review. It's simply something incredible. Creamy sandalwood, enhanced by the beautiful iris. Lavender harmonizes with the rose. It's just out of this world. Dried fruits are still present, but they have taken a back seat. As indifferent as I was initially, it has now captured my heart. I recommend it for cooler weather. The longevity has significantly improved. It's love, it's passion, it's excitement. I have over 30 fragrances in my collection, and it's important to impress me, but it did impress me. Completely unisex.
I bought it for myself, even though it's considered a men's fragrance. Wow. By the way, it bears a slight resemblance to Creed.
I received a 2ml sample when purchasing another fragrance, not from here. I fell in love with it. It's a lavender story, sweet and refreshing at the same time. The longevity is average. After that, I ordered a 30ml bottle from the EU. And you know what? Its longevity on me leaves something to be desired. I tested it on myself and my brother, and the longevity was lacking for him as well. I will wait for cooler weather, maybe something will change. Whether it's the batch or weather conditions, the scent dissipates very quickly, but it lasts longer on clothing. The sample showed better results. As for the composition, everything is good: it starts with citrus, then lavender becomes noticeable surrounded by rose and iris. Over time, iris becomes more prominent while the rose fades. This lavender fragrance plays with dried fruits until the very end.
Interesting scent, but compared to others in this series, it appears somewhat modest. The scent itself is very intriguing, with notes of lavender and a hint of citrus. A bit later, there is a powdery undertone (probably iris), which personally made me feel a bit timid as I didn't pay attention to it during testing. Over time, a subtle woody note can be detected, but lavender remains the dominant player.
Its uniqueness lies in the fact that after a while, it becomes almost unnoticeable, but it is still there, sitting close to the skin. However, on clothing, it seems to stick like glue.
The sillage is not significant, but perhaps I am accustomed to heavier scents from this brand.
An ideal option for the office, it is truly unisex.
