Don

Xerjoff Don presents a bold and refined olfactory experience centered around a sharp, metallic gunpowder accord that anchors a complex blend of sweet spun sugar, aged whiskey, and earthy tobacco. The opening delivers a distinct peppery and medicinal note reminiscent of cordite or camphor, which quickly softens into a layered drydown dominated by the interplay of soft sweetness, smoky undertones, and subtle leather-like depth. The fragrance evolves with a dry, masculine elegance—less of a loud, attention-grabbing scent and more of a quiet, intimate statement, akin to a suave gentleman stepping into a dimly lit bar. Its sillage remains close to the skin, with moderate projection that trails subtly rather than roaring out. Performance is reliable, with longevity often exceeding 10 hours, making it ideal for formal events or winter wear. While some find it underwhelming or faint, many describe it as uniquely wearable, a sophisticated fusion of boozy sweetness and sharp gunpowder that feels both modern and timeless. The experience leans toward unisex appeal, though its masculine character is pronounced in how it communicates authority and quiet confidence.
