The opening is very challenging for me..
I could not appreciate it at first..
It smells like sharp fermented fruit, bitter, sour, boozy, rosy opening.. reminds me of red wine
then it transforms into floral, spicy, woody, bit sweet scent
Very mature, masculine, serious, formal type of fragrance
Good for office wear with minimal sprays and great for date nights and formal occasions
Great projection and sillage
Bit smoky, oudy, powdery, animalic, floral, bit ambery, balsamic on dry down
The dry down is phenomenal
Longevity is impressive on skin and clothes
Will last a 12-hour shift
Typical Xerjoff bottle with the blue hue, solid heavy cap, great atomizer
Great overall performance, great quality, well-blended
I would highly recommend More Than Words ⭐⭐⭐⭐
This is not for everybody particularly the opening
This fragrance grows on you over time
Multiple wearing would make you want to use it more often
It is an acquired taste for me
Not a safe blind buy
