Soprano
by Xerjoff
Soprano by Xerjoff is a sweet, floral-oriental fragrance with a vibrant opening of lychee, freesia, and Calabrian bergamot, leading into a lush heart of Bulgarian rose, jasmine, osmanthus, and milk accord. The scent evolves into a velvety, creamy base of oud, patchouli, and leather, creating a rich, gourmand-tinged bouquet with a powdery, slightly nostalgic aura. It’s often compared to Maison Francis Kurkdjian’s Oud Satin Mood and Nina Ricci’s L'Extase Rose Absolue, but leans more fruity and milky, with a softer, more wearable sweetness. The scent is notable for its strong projection, long-lasting performance, and luxurious feel, making it ideal for evening wear, special events, or winter months. While some find it overly sweet or generic, others praise its refined complexity, elegant dry-down, and ability to stand out in a room without being overwhelming.
Pros
- +Exceptional longevity and sillage; lasts well beyond 12 hours and projects strongly.
- +Rich, creamy, and gourmand perfume with a sweet, milky-rose heart and a delicate oud patchouli base.
- +High-quality, luxurious scent that feels truly elevated, better than expected for the price point.
Cons
- −Extremely sweet and fruity in the opening, potentially overwhelming for those who dislike gourmand or very sweet scents.
- −Very similar to Oud Satin Mood and other floral-oud perfumes, making it feel unoriginal to some.
- −Strong, long-lasting presence may trigger sensitivities or is too intense for casual or daytime wear.
