Allende by Xerjoff is a gourmand fragrance centered around Madagascar vanilla, cacao, and magnolia, creating a rich and creamy effect that some describe as resembling shea butter, body lotion, or even a milky cocoa pastry. The scent evolves with a warm, slightly waxy and powdery quality, often driven by the magnolia’s floral nuance and the vanilla-cacao accord. While it can be perceived as overly sweet or chemically sharp by some, others praise its unique complexity, long-lasting sillage, and its ability to transform into a smooth, skin-friendly scent that lingers for hours. Feedback highlights strong longevity and moderate to strong projection, with most finding it effective for evening wear and autumn or winter seasons. The fragrance is divisive, with some calling it luxurious and memorable, while others liken it to synthetic or soapy-sweet impressions. Ultimately, it appeals to lovers of intense, creamy gourmands who appreciate unconventional textures and are willing to invest in a perfume with a very distinctive character.
