Xerjoff Casamorati Mefisto Eau de Parfum

Xerjoff Mefisto Eau de Parfum is a luxury fragrance from the Italian niche perfume house Xerjoff, part of their “Casamorati” collection. Launched in 2009, this fragrance is designed to evoke a classic barbershop scent, blending traditional elegance with modern sensibilities.

Fragrance Profile:

• Top Notes: The fragrance opens with fresh and zesty citrus notes, including lemon, bergamot, and grapefruit. These bright notes create an invigorating and fresh first impression.
• Heart Notes: As the citrus fades, the floral heart emerges with softer, powdery accords of lavender, iris, and rose. The iris and lavender in particular give Mefisto a refined, clean, and slightly soapy quality, reminiscent of classic barbershop fragrances.
• Base Notes: The dry-down is smooth and comforting, featuring warm notes like cedarwood, amber, and musk. This gives the fragrance a subtle depth and sophistication, balancing out the freshness from the top and heart notes.

Overall Impression:

Mefisto is often described as a masculine, clean, and elegant fragrance that combines citrusy freshness with floral and woody notes. It feels timeless, versatile, and suitable for both day and evening wear, especially in warmer seasons due to its fresh and airy opening. However, it can also work year-round due to the rich base notes.

Longevity and Sillage:

Xerjoff Mefisto has good longevity, lasting several hours on the skin. Its sillage (projection) is moderate, making it noticeable but not overwhelming.

This luxurious scent is particularly well-regarded for its quality and craftsmanship, making it a popular choice for fragrance collectors.
