About This Perfume
Think Sweet rum, caramel smoke, and vanilla leather: that is Xerjoff Tony Iommi Monkey Special. It opens with rum, passion fruit and Bulgarian geranium, moves into leather, singapore patchouli and Bulgarian rose and settles on caramel, ambergris and Australian sandalwood. It reads unisex.
This eau de parfum is best in fall and winter and is an evening scent. Reach for it for date nights and nights out. Released in 2021.
In the community's experience it lasts through a full day, and projects strongly and fills a room. Wearers suggest letting a new bottle rest for a couple of weeks; it tends to smooth out.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something gourmand and sweet for date nights.
- Sample first if: you prefer quiet scents; it projects.
- Skip if: you dislike leathery fragrances.
Around $325.

Note by note
XJ 1861 Naxos (Eau de Parfum, 2015) smells like honeyed vanilla tobacco smoke, lavender citrus, with lavender and bergamot first and tobacco leaf, vanilla and tonka bean at the base. Think cool mint and lemon over green herbs with Torino 21 (Eau de Parfum, 2021), starting with mint and lemon before musk and vervain take over. Erba Pura (Eau de Parfum, 2019) comes across as bright citrus and fruits, sweet creamy vanilla, opening on Sicilian orange and Calabrian bergamot and drying down to white musk, Madagascar vanilla and amber.
