  |  This is a quality scent. Exotic and woody it was one for the times; I wore it in the eighties. Apply sparingly - 2 sprays max and you can wear it on any occasion during the colder months. Good value if you can find it discounted. 04 June 2008 |
 | Xeryus is interesting, very interesting. I like the exotic woods and the artemisia. They give a very exotic, slightly bitter-woodsy character. Ultimately however, the amber gives (to my taste) a too much powdery sweetness. Worth sampling, it is different from much of what is out there. 27 July 2007 |
 | Another fragrance my brother bought, when he was finding his fragrance style. The fragrance has a citric start with grapefruit notes, traces of lemon and lavender could also be felt. The middle note has some berries, plus kitchen like notes of tarragon and coriander, and something I didn't like, surely sage. The final notes gives it an oriental flavor, something like chinese woods (ok, it sounds weird, but it gave me the image of something at China), and some green notes of vetiver. Fresh and woody, with bits of fruit like berries, and the old chinese sensation. For office and daytime use, maybe night. Suitable for a range of age between 25 and 40 years old. 26 March 2007 |

| I blind bought for the baron de charlus well after this and smalto pour homme, which I also blind bought for the baron, & which smells pretty similar to me... I told myself: By all means savor the baron's prose But baby don't you trust his nose! Which is only to say that naed and I seem to be on different paths much of the time (although I'm just starting to step out). But all I have to say to him is . . . like that orchid theif guy in "adaptation" said: Never let anything get between you and your flower, Deano! 10 September 2006 |
 | Xeryus starts off okay for me - smells like a lot of other fragrances out there (or maybe they smell like Xeryus, since this is 20 years old now), which leads me to agree that it's "in the middle." It smells pleasant enough in the beginning, then it dries down to very dry and faint woodsy scent on me. I don't get amber at all. It disappears rather quickly too. Finally, there is something about it that irritates my eyes, so I don't feel I can be completely fair in my evaluation. All-in-all it's nothing special and even without the slight allergy to one of its components, I doubt I would find occasion to wear it often. 13 March 2006 |

| I’ve never had too much to say about Xeryus. I prefer it greatly over Xeryus Rouge. Xeryus is kind of a typical 80’s fragrance. A mostly woody fragrance with floral notes. This is a bit more linear and one dimensional than a lot of other 80’s fragrances. I consider this one mediocre. 20 September 2005 |
