Accento Overdose
by Xerjoff
Accento Overdose by Xerjoff is a highly distinctive, high-performing fruity floral with a fresh green and aldehydic opening that transitions into a rich, creamy white floral heart dominated by lily-of-the-valley, Bulgarian rose, and Egyptian jasmine. It carries a subtle but intense eucalyptus and pine base that adds a surprising sophistication and longevity, making it stand out from similar Xerjoff offerings like Erba Pura. The fragrance evolves beautifully on skin, blending fruity notes with a delicate musky powderiness, resulting in a scent that feels modern, elegant, and strongly projected—ideal for warm weather and special occasions. While some find its initial aldehyde and green tones reminiscent of laundry soap or vinyl, others describe it as a luxurious, show-stopping scent that feels both glamorous and deeply personal.
Pros
- +Exceptionally strong projection and longevity—often lasting 8+ hours on skin and long on fabrics
- +Fresh, well-blended floral profile with a unique aldehydic-green opening that transitions into a rich, creamy white floral heart
- +Uniquely sophisticated dry-down featuring eucalyptus and pine, offering a compelling twist on traditional floral fragrances
Cons
- −Highly subjective—some find it excessively sweet, synthetic, or soap-like, especially on sensitive skin
- −Imbalanced sillage in some wearers—excessively strong or overwhelming if sprayed too generously
- −Tends to lean strongly feminine despite unisex labeling, which may deter male wearers seeking a more neutral profile
