XERJOFF ACCENTO EAU DE PARFUM

Xerjoff Accento is a modern and opulent take on the classic Chypre Floral structure, reimagined for a contemporary unisex audience. Launched in 2019 and crafted by the renowned perfumers Christian Carbonnel and Laura Santander, Accento translates to “accent” or “emphasis” in Italian, and true to its name, it emphasizes bold contrasts and luxurious intensity.

The fragrance opens with a surprising and vibrant burst of juicy Pineapple, a note rarely featured in chypre compositions. This fruity sweetness is immediately grounded by the green, watery, and slightly earthy aroma of Hyacinth, creating a captivating and unique introduction.

The heart of the scent is profoundly elegant and powdery, dominated by the preciousness of Iris (or Orris) butter. This delicate floralcy is heated by the spicy warmth of Pink Pepper and enriched by the sensual, classic beauty of Jasmine. This complex heart bridges the bright top notes with a deep and resonant base.

The dry-down is a masterful blend of contrasting elements that define the modern chypre character: the earthy depth of Vetiver and Patchouli, the sweet warmth of Vanilla and Amber, and the clean, skin-like sensuality of Musk. The result is a fragrance that is both bright and dark, fresh and warm, powdery and earthy—a truly captivating and sophisticated scent for those who appreciate complexity and luxury.
