My Full Fragrance Review:
If you’ve ever delved into the aromatic world of the Italian luxury brand Xerjoff, chances are you’ve come across two standout fragrances: Accento and Naxos. I recently had the pleasure of spending four sunlit summer days in Berlin, with Accento as my daily scent. From morning spritzes to afternoon touch-ups, this fragrance has experienced the bustling streets of Berlin alongside me. Curious about my journey? Here’s my review and opinion, distilled.
Quick Facts:
Smell:
The immediate allure of Accento lies in its adaptability. From formal meetings to casual evenings out, its aroma never feels misplaced. It’s fascinating how, despite Berlin’s summer vibes, I could envision this scent effortlessly transitioning to the chillier months. This quality, in my eyes, positions it in the same league as famed fragrances like Sauvage and Aventus.
So, what’s the secret behind Accento’s versatility? At its core, it’s refreshingly crisp, never overpowering even if you’re generous with the sprays, much like myself. But it doesn’t just end there. A subtle, sweet undercurrent of pineapple lends it a certain daytime appeal, making it both inviting and alluring.
Here’s something worth noting: If you’re attempting to draw parallels with Creed’s Aventus, think again. Yes, both sport a pineapple note, but their personalities couldn’t be more different. Where Aventus is bold, intense, and smoky, reminiscent of an audacious, dominant presence, Accento skews toward subtlety. It’s smooth, more subdued, and undeniably unisex, making it a great choice for the younger crowd, or those who prefer a less aggressive scent.
Longevity:
Rating Accento’s staying power is, admittedly, a bit challenging. My four-day experiment saw varied responses. Beginning with a modest five sprays, I felt I was left wanting. Yet, a later encounter in the metro, after a generous nine-spray application, brought forth mixed reactions. While a friend found it muted, a stranger commented on its striking potency. However, in my experience, Accento consistently projected well for the initial three hours, gradually becoming a skin scent over the next three before dissipating.
