Kobe by Xerjoff is an exquisite fragrance that belongs to the Aromatic Citrus olfactory family, and was launched in 2009 as part of the "Shooting Stars" collection. This fragrance, created for men, captures in its composition a refreshing and refined combination of notes that make it a sophisticated and elegant choice, ideal for those seeking to project an image of class and distinction. Inspired by the beauty and mystery of the East, Kobe stands out for a rich and enveloping olfactory pyramid, which combines citrus, spices and woods in an extremely balanced way.

In the top notes, Kobe surprises with a vibrant and refreshing explosion of orange and bergamot, which provide a citrusy, sparkling and stimulating touch. These notes are complemented by labdanum, a resin of Mediterranean origin that adds depth and a slightly amber and earthy touch to the aroma. This initial combination is captivating and represents an invitation to immerse yourself in a sensorial journey, where the freshness of citrus is balanced by a warmer and more mysterious background, which is revealed over time.

In the heart of Kobe, the fragrance evolves towards a floral and aromatic accord, which incorporates neroli, petitgrain and orange blossom. These notes bring a sweet and delicate facet to the perfume, evoking a garden in full bloom. Neroli, with its green and slightly bitter touch, together with petitgrain, which adds freshness and a herbal nuance, balance the sweetness of the orange blossom. This combination in the heart of Kobe highlights the Mediterranean essence of the fragrance, uniting softness and freshness in a rich and sophisticated aromatic expression.

Coming to the base notes, Kobe shows its warmest and most enveloping side, revealing a depth that gives the fragrance its lasting and memorable character. Here, Brazilian rosewood and oud wood form a woody and exotic duo that gives structure to the perfume. Benzoin, with its characteristic resinous sweetness, and tonka bean, with its warm and vanilla touch, provide a softness and creaminess that contrast with the initial freshness of citrus. This woody base is fundamental in the composition, providing a robust and balanced base that envelops and supports the previous notes.

Ambergris and musk in the base notes add a subtle sensuality and a touch of animality that is characteristic of high perfumery fragrances. Known for its exclusivity and depth, ambergris brings a sense of warmth and elegance, while musk, soft and seductive, offers a more intimate and enveloping facet. Styrax, a resin with balsamic and slightly smoky notes, completes this base, rounding out the perfume and adding a touch of mystery and sophistication.

Kobe is a fragrance that adapts well to various occasions, although it stands out especially in formal settings or in moments when you want to convey an impression of refinement. Its longevity is remarkable, allowing the fragrance to slowly evolve on the skin and reveal its different facets throughout the day. The projection is also moderate, making Kobe an elegant and discreet choice, which makes itself noticed without being invasive.

In short, Kobe by Xerjoff is much more than a simple citrus perfume. It is a work of olfactory art that combines fresh, floral and woody notes in a balanced and sophisticated composition. From its bright and refreshing opening to its warm and mysterious closing, Kobe invites its wearer on an unforgettable sensorial journey. Ideal for those seeking a fragrance with character, Kobe is a reflection of elegance and distinction, and a testament to the art of luxury perfumery.
