Cruz del Sur II
feminine
Cruz del Sur II by Xerjoff is a Woody Floral Musk fragrance for women and men. Cruz del Sur II was launched in 2017. Top notes are Mango, Guava, Pineapple and Apple Blossom; middle notes are Black Currant, Exotic floral notes and Violet Leaf; base notes are Milk, Dried Fruits, Musk, Vetiver and Cedar. The skin avidly soaks up the humours, luxuriantly moistened by tiny streams following the winding trails of mango, pineapple, guava, apple blossoms. Among millions of creatures, the most radiant is the one whose appearance is uncontaminated like a Yanomami tribe, its heart a bouquet of exotic flowers, about to carry as a gift to the stone altar its scents of blackcurrant and green leaves, as far as they can go. The eager search of mankind for every kind of gold, whether yellow, white or black, has not deprived this creature of its natural charm. The animal and vegetable worlds clash under the gracious auspices of the vetiver and the cedar, which responds to the milky notes like a distant drum. Screams bounce back from the tree trunks, accompanied by candied fruits and soft musk. The greatest green space on Earth deserves such an inspiration. It is time to take flight, like a butterfly of a species not yet classified. Cruz del Sur II is available from September 2017 in 50ml Eau de Parfum flacons.

Cruz del Sur II is a well-executed mango gourmand that receives polarized feedback. While fragrance enthusiasts praise Xerjoff's realistic fruity rendering and smooth creamy character, many find it too dessert-like, cloying, or even nauseating to wear regularly. Sampling before purchase is strongly recommended due to the high price and subjective skin chemistry interactions.
