Avanguardia by Xerjoff is a dark, resinous take on cherry and rose, built for cooler evenings. Cherry, mandarin and davana open it sweet and lightly spiced, with a tart edge. Black violet, patchouli and rose geranium carry the heart, dusky rather than soft. Olibanum, tonka bean and styrax settle underneath, warm and faintly smoky at the close. New for 2026, it suits men and women alike who are drawn to a fruit-and-resin scent with real depth. Autumn, winter and spring bring out the strongest votes, mostly for evening wear. Its longevity vote tips toward long-lasting, and sillage lands clearly on strong, so it carries. A 3ml decant is a good way to spend a run of cold evenings with it before deciding on more.
10ML buys its bottles from authorized EU distributors and directly from the brands, and decants authentic Xerjoff fragrances by hand into 10ML-labelled atomizers. 10ML is independent: it has no affiliation with Xerjoff, and Xerjoff neither endorses nor sponsors it. The retail bottle in the photos identifies the fragrance; it is not part of your order.

The community verdict
For someone drawn to cherry with a darker finish, Avanguardia moves from mandarin and davana through black violet to olibanum and styrax. Long-lasting is the leading view, with some finding it exceptionally long-lasting; most report strong projection. It suits autumn evenings, with winter and daytime also possible.
