Gran Ballo by Xerjoff is a rich white floral built around honeyed gardenia, made for evenings that run late. Tangerine and a handful of red berries open it, bright and a little tart. Gardenia and jasmine take the middle, softened by honey, before caramel, vanilla, amber and sandalwood settle it into a warm, powdery finish. Released in 2013, it tends to be chosen by women who like a floral with some weight to it. Voters wear it mostly in spring and fall, after dark more than by day, though it also turns up as a work scent for some. The longevity vote leans moderate and the sillage vote leans moderate too, so it stays close rather than filling a room. A 10ml decant carries you through a run of evenings before you commit to the bottle.
10ML independently rebottles authentic Xerjoff fragrances purchased through authorized European retailers into 10ML-branded sample atomizers. 10ML is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Xerjoff.

The community verdict
Gardenia gives Gran Ballo its floral centre, with tangerine and red berries at the start and caramel and vanilla beneath. Wear time divides between moderate and long-lasting; projection tends to be moderate, though some find it strong. It favours spring evenings, with autumn and night also fitting.

The house
More from Xerjoff
Xerjoff is a Turin house, started in 2007 by Sergio Momo to make perfume with the richness of Italian design: dense, golden and unashamedly sweet. Most of the range sits in warm territory, with vanilla, amber and tonka bean underneath and saffron, cinnamon or cardamom for heat. A bright streak of bergamot keeps several of them from feeling heavy. Begin with XJ 1861 Naxos, where lavender meets honey over a sweet vanilla base. Erba Pura is the sunny one, a juicy fruit-and-citrus blend, and Lira turns citrus into something close to caramel. For a greener side of the house, try Torino21, fresh with aromatic herbs. Alexandria II shows the darker, woodier face, all amber and powder. Wear a few side by side and you will soon find which Xerjoff mood is yours.
