Description
Cruz del Sur I is the darker, more mysterious interpretation within Xerjoff's Shooting Stars collection. Created by Chris Maurice, it opens with an intoxicating blend of aged rum, juicy grapes, and sparkling bergamot before evolving into a warm heart of dried fruits, aromatic cedarwood, cloves, and cumin. The fragrance settles into an opulent base of creamy sandalwood, smoky labdanum, precious myrrh, and castoreum, creating exceptional depth and a luxurious resinous character.
Bold, sophisticated, and intensely captivating, Cruz del Sur I balances boozy richness with warm spices, precious woods, and balsamic resins, resulting in a refined signature fragrance with remarkable longevity and unmistakable elegance.
