{"product_id":"xerjoff-cruz-del-sur-ii-parfum-sample","title":"Xerjoff Cruz del Sur II Parfum Sample","description":"\u003cp\u003eXerjoff Cruz del Sur II grew out of founder Sergio Momo's travels deep into the Amazon rainforest, where he met nature at its most awe-inspiring. This Parfum from the Shooting Stars collection takes the wearer through a South American jungle: fruit first, then a floral bouquet among green leaves, grounded by cedarwood, musk and vetiver. Trying it in 10 ml shows how the jungle idea holds up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFragrance notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTop:\u003c\/b\u003e Apple Blossom, Mango, Pineapple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eHeart:\u003c\/b\u003e Green Leaves, Floral Bouquet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBase:\u003c\/b\u003e Cedarwood, Musk, Vetiver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFruit at the edge of the jungle\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eApple blossom, mango and pineapple open it. Mango and pineapple are ripe and tropical, and apple blossom adds a light, floral freshness that stops the fruit becoming heavy. The first test is whether you enjoy such an openly fruity start in a perfume.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLeaves and a floral bouquet\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe heart is green leaves with a floral bouquet. The brand does not name the individual flowers, so this page does not either. The green leaves give a damp, shaded feel, the bouquet softness, and the mix is the part that carries the rainforest idea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCedar, musk and vetiver\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe base is cedarwood, musk and vetiver, which ground the scent. Cedar is dry and clean, musk soft, vetiver earthy and a little smoky. Together they keep the fruit from running away and leave a steady woody finish, which is easy to judge in a second wearing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to test it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTry it on a warm, mild day, with a few modest sprays on the neck and wrists, and let it settle over the working day or an easy weekend. Notice how the fruit and green leaves feel at first and what remains once the woods take over. A second test in cooler air shows its range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho it is for\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe brand states no gender, and this page lists it as unisex. It suits people who enjoy a fruity, green floral with a woody base and who are curious about a perfume built on a travel story. If you prefer dry or dark scents with no fruit at all, a decant shows early that this is brighter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy try Xerjoff Cruz del Sur II as a sample first\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA fruity floral with a woody base can be fresh on one person and cloying on another, and the brand's note list is short and broad. Our 10 ml decant, filled by FragranceGems from the original bottle and labelled by us, lets you judge it over several wearings before you commit to 50 ml.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat is the story behind it?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFounder Sergio Momo's travels deep into the Amazon rainforest, where he met nature at its most awe-inspiring.
