Tempest Xerjoff

Tempest definitely lives up to its name, presenting a complex and bold experience from the first spray. It opens with a lively mix of citrus and ginger, quickly settling into a deep, dark woody base of oud and vetiver that leans quite masculine to my nose. This isn't one for the office but shines during a formal event or a night out where you want to make a lasting impression, as it projects strongly and lasts all night. I really appreciate how the initial freshness eventually gives way to such a sophisticated, almost brooding character.
