Very impressed with the house of Xyrena. Can’t wait to add more fragrances to my collection.
I’ve recently found myself getting into the Cowboy/Western genre of fragrances and it’s been a wild ride. Space Cowboy is exactly what I’ve come to expect from Xyrena -- telling the story it set out to do while amping it up to another uniquely artistic level. This is very much a bold Cowboy scent but less classic western and more modern day Austin inspired by westerns. Add a subtle touch of gourmand in the background, something that Killian Wells is so good at and you have a uniquely modern Cowboy.
Xyrena has really nailed it on the packaging artwork and fragrance concepts designed to capture a nostalgic feeling and moment frozen in time. In the Cinemaniac candle, I found notes of sweet cherry licorice, fizzy cola, stale grain, and the faintest hint of hot artificial butter. It is a nice mood piece for a B movie home showing, to flesh out the sometimes hollow experience of modern digital streaming.
Upon opening he cologne, my best friend said, “If you were a man, I would be all over you.” Then, my partner described it as “deliciously sweet with a hint of musk.” If you’re looking for something different, this perfume is for you. It’s exactly as described; however, I would say that it is slightly muskier than described. The green notes also stand out upping initial spray. My favorite part is the dry down when you can smell the sweet notes and the tiniest hint of lavender.
Great fragrance that definitely smells like brand new factory fresh shoes! I have over 100 pairs of shoes and a small spray per shoe has my collection certified FRESH! Great product!
I personally love the smell, at first i thought the beginning note smelled like cleaning solution but as i wore it it REALLY grew on me and it just adds a layer of depth to the more dry, smoky cool down. I think it’s the perfect t scent for an occasion like a halloween party or even any event during the fall. I received a compliment on the first day of wearing, which was around 3-4 sprays.
This smells EXACTLY like the E.T. Adventure ride at Universal Studios. I love it!
This is a pungent green freshie through and through. It’s bright, zesty, and reminds me of cute boys with frosted tips and an intense layer of gel holding their hair just so. It smells so clean and delightful there is a beautiful genderless aquatic quality that makes me almost feel like I stepped into a moody black and white Calvin Klein ad.
This reminds me of opening up a holiday tin with the three different flavors of popcorn. It opens with a cheesy popcorn note that is aggressive. I love it. Then it becomes this beautiful soft popcorn scent. You can smell the sweetness from the pretzel dough and a sweet candy. It becomes such an addicting smell. I adore it.
I’ve been searching for an uber realistic tomato fragrance and this is it. It smells like fresh tomatoes that have just been washed and cool and clean or ready to attack you in the supermarket aisle. I give the 5 stars simply because it does exactly what it’s intended to do -- smell like tomatoes. There’s some herbal vine and stem essence too, to complete the whole tomato experience. I got the collectors set and I’m super happy to have both covers in my collection!
This one had me at first sniff. I tend to go weird with my perfume and definitely not fresh. But something about that chlorine whiff just got me and I was hooked. Phenomenal performance on this one
I went in thinking ok nice gimmick, must own. But I am pleasantly surprised how good this is. Even the next day I can still smell it on me. Beautifully crafted and balanced. Highly recommend
Low commitment way to see what you think of a few interesting new scents
TbThis scent is a mainstay in my Fall fragrance rotation. It's pumpkin spice soapiness and immediately puts me in a fall mood.
As someone who spent a lot of time in a 24 hour photo store as a kid this is spot on what that smells like. I loved it so much I gifted it to my photographer friend and she said it was spot on. I think this is an easily wearable scent. It reminds me a lot of the dipytique genre, but with nostalgic lean to it. I’m so happy to have this in my collection.
This is a dream come true. While not my usual type of scent, it reminds me of so many things I love. Leather car seats. Check. Gasoline. Check. Throw in some motor oil to dirty it up and you've got another winner from Xyrena.
Aren't we all longing for a simpler life? Complexity bears stress and many hurdles, as opposed to the soothing comfort of basicness.. that's what you get from this one - comforting basicness. And apples.
I love the smell, I wish it was a bit stronger and longer lasting compared to other Xyrena fragrances. Works well with other colognes. Not entirely powerful enough to be a stand alone, but still a worthwhile addition.
This is not bad, just kinda lackluster compared to other fragrances I have purchases on here. I was hoping for it to stand out more like some of the other scents on here, but it comes off fairly similar to other colognes out there. The opening scent is refreshing, but the remaining is similar and while a great warm weather fragrance, doesn't have me coming back for another bottle. It was a cool idea, just slightly underwhelming. It's not terrible, just forgettable which is a word I normally don't use for Xyrena.
It’s an 80s powerhouse in the best way. A classic aftershave at first sniff, and the pepper hits you on the dry down. I like to imagine it would be right up Bateman’s alley.
The most realistic tomato vine/leaf fragrance I've ever smelled. I'm usually disappointed by tomato scents as they approximate "tomato" to the same kind of green sharpness you find over and over again in garden/tomato/basil candles, soaps and room sprays. This is in a whole different dimension. It captures the wet, lush, fuzzy green of the vine with depth and convincing character. Bravo!
I really like this scent. It has a few notes that I have always found appealing. First, I feel like there is a hint of la leather smell. The second is ozone. It has other notes that complete the package. I would definitely buy this again. I am curious about their other scents.
