Cruz del Sur II

Cruz del Sur II by Xerjoff is a hyper-realistic, creamy mango fragrance that evokes a tropical fruit smoothie with a prominent lactonic, milky base. The opening features juicy, fresh mango and guava notes, paired with green apple blossom and pineapple, creating an immersive, mouth-watering tropical effect. The scent evolves into a soft, creamy, honeyed milk accord with dried fruits and subtle woody undertones, offering a warm, comforting, and slightly sweet profile that lingers comfortably on the skin. Many find it evocative of mango lassi, Thai sticky rice, or a fresh tropical dessert, with some noting its similarity to luxury bath products or sunscreen scents. While the performance is notably moderate in projection and longevity, it enjoys strong longevity—often lasting 10-12 hours—especially in warmer weather. The fragrance leans femininely but is widely considered unisex, with its impact heavily dependent on body chemistry. Some experience it as overwhelmingly sweet or cloying, while others find it refreshing and complex. A truly polarizing scent, it thrives on skin chemistry and seasonal conditions; it shines in spring and summer but can feel too sticky or sour in intense heat.
