Xerjoff Golden Moka Review + Italian Roast Giveaway

Xerjoff Golden Moka

Xerjoff Golden Moka by Steven

Still in a post-Thanksgiving Turkey coma? Skip the double espresso and awaken your senses with Xerjoff Golden Moka, a beautiful coffee/ citrus eau de parfum that is bright and invigorating. Xerjoff Golden Moka is rich and resinous, opening with a burst of blood orange, lemon and mandarin that brings to mind Espresso Romano, where the lemon peel is rubbed in the cup. The warmth of amber, hint of oud and a touch of aromatic green notes blend together beautifully and never overwhelm. Smelling Golden Moka reminds me of a full-bodied medium Italian roast coffee like Bialetti Milano. Editor’s Note: A Moka (caffettiera)is an Italian stovetop coffee maker that produces coffee by heating the water and passing it through ground coffee. -Michelyn Camen, Editor-in-Chief

Notes: Mandarin, Lemons, Blood Oranges, Rose Absolute, Coffee Absolute, Cambodian Oud, Amber, Incense, Green Accord, Labdanum

    This scent sounds delicious. I appreciated how Steven described the green notes and how they keep this from being like any other rose/oud combination. I also love how he compared the use of the herbal notes in this one to the use of similar herbal tones in Interlude, so we get an idea of how those facets are being expressed. Regarding Michelyn’s mini-review, her comparison to an Espresso Romano immediately let me know what to expect: a nice bodied coffee with a kiss of citrus up top. Yum! This stuff sounds like class and would love to experience it. Reading from North Carolina, USA.

  • Chezky says:

    Steven did a great job reviewing this fragrance. I absolutely love coffee fragrances, but I’ve never smelled this one before. I like the idea of the citrus opening, similar to a “Espresso Romano”. Coming from such a great fragrance house, I know this fragrance is going to great. Thanks so much to Steven and Michelyn for another great fragrance review. This is definitely on my list to try. Houston Texas

  • ramsesperez52 says:

    A coffee fragrance with a citrus opening like Steven mentioned does sound very enticing. I didn’t know a Moka was an Italian coffee maker like Michelyn mentioned. I am a coffee lover myself (3 cups a day I drink) so I’d love to have this one as part of my collection.

  • Anelis says:

    Steve’s reviews are always quite thorough and precise. The thought of creating a citrus, coffee, oud and amber – among the other notes -sounds delightful and delicious. I look forward to smelling, and hopefully, attaining that lovely ruby glass with gold bottle!

  • Corey green says:

    Thank you for writing the review, I am really excited to try Golden Moka, I am from Seattle and we appreciate our coffee, im interested to see how the citrus blood orange blends with the coffee notes it sounds like this is a perfect fragrance for the colder months

  • za3bolla says:

    Beautiful review. Michelyn described it as “Smelling Golden Moka reminds me of a full-bodied medium Italian roast coffee like Bialetti Milano.” Steven elaborated that coffee fragrances can be either raw or blended with other notes and this one although lists oud and rose it’s not that. It’s more blended with earthy notes/citrus while oud and rose are playing supporting roles.

    Overall, i enjoy well blended coffee fragrances and this seems like one of them. Thank you both. Would love to try it.

  • Brian.Bolin says:

    Another great review by Steven on this fragrance. I really enjoy watching all his videos. Xerjoff is an excellent house and always impress me with their great blends. Comment from Xin

  • JDCaprano says:

    Golden Moka sounds like a really amazing perfume. Yes, ate too much turkey and feeling sleepy so I hope I win. Being of Italian heritage I really enjoyed Michlyn’s reference to caffettiera. I still use one. I like how steven explained that the oud wasn’t too much

  • fragrancekarma says:

    Just watched video from Steven on Golden Moka by Xerjoff, while having my Italian roast espresso. Now reading Michelyn mini review I absolutely convinced that I would love to try Golden Moka, thank you for a chance
    Happy Thanksgiving Cafleurebon Twisted Lily and everyone! USA

  • nichescentlover says:

    I absolutely love the coffee break line from Xerjoff. When I first had a smell of Golden Moka it was love at first sniff. That opening of blood orange is intoxicating and only gets better as this perfume dries down. I would give this perfume a 9/10 for everything about Xerjoff Golden Moka from box presentation that we all know, to the red and gold accents of the bottle which lures you in to get this opulent perfume on your skin.
    Another great perfume from the house of Xerjoff!!!!

  • Rock says:

    Steve is always so thorough in his reviews and this one is no different, as he described the fragrance and the notes my nose could already imagine the scent. Would love to get my nose on this Xerjoff. I love gourmand and coffee scents, and I love that the oud is inoffensive

    As always Stephen always leaves a vivid image of the fragrance with how detail he reviews these fragrances. This one sounds like it smells amazing, if its anything like I’m thinking, this a godly one for sure. Happy Thanksgiving y’all!

  • Douglas says:

    I am intrigued about any fragrance I come across right now , since I am a new fan of Niche and designer fragrances .
    I own 10 Designer and 2 Niche and a discovery pack from ” Initio Parfums ” .
    A Coffee scent sounds exciting . I adore Labdanum , and Ambery scents , so yeah,, very intrigued .

  • Douglas says:

    Brand new to the blog ,coming from Steven’s Youtube page to here . Can’t wait to try every fragrance I can get a hold of ,, Even challenging varieties .

  • Jacob Savitt says:

    Steven’s description of a fresh opening to help cut the pungency of the coffee is very inciting, but Michelyn’s description being about similarity to an Italian dark roast is pulling me further towards it. Would love something like this for winter!

  • richard.delnunzio3 says:

    Thanks for this great review guys. Steven’s video was really great because on fragrantica, this appears to be another Oud rose fragrance. But, as per Steven, this is much for of Amber/Coffee scent that doesn’t get to intense, while still remaining a solid projecting scent.

    Michelyn’s description of describing this fragrance as smelling like Bialetti Milano is extremely helpful, since I drink this regularly being an Italian myself. I can completely relate to the smell of Italian coffee and the splendid olfactory taste experience that comes from this. Thank you.

    Richard from NY, USA

  • Maryjean says:

    Steven did a great job describing a rich coffee scent. Michelyn knows how Expresso should be served with a lemon on the side. The notes are perfect. I would love to win this Fragrance.Thank you for this Chance USA

  • baker1128 says:

    Both were great descriptions from both and a bit of a taste for coffee scents so I’d love to try

  • marskee says:

    Oh man this sounds so damn delicious! Spicy citrus is definitely one of my favorite profiles.
    GL to everyone! Happy Turkey day

  • fostername says:

    The perfume sounds heavenly! I’ve never heard about a citrusy coffee scent before! Steven made all of these notes seem so well blended — and because I love Amber fragrances, I do think I need to get my nose on it! The way that the article described the smell bringing a lemon peel rubbed inside of the cup was pretty evocative — and made my mouth water! Excited to try it!

  • btvm92 says:

    I really like that Steven clarified that this fragrance is a blend of notes with coffee supported by citruses and green notes along with ambery warmth.

    I have not typically been drawn toward coffee fragrances, however Michelyn’s description of the notes have really piqued my interest

    Happy Thanksgiving!

  • Laukik Hagawane says:

    I love coffee scents , I have montale ristretto intense cafe and I love it, I hope golden moka exceeds my expectations

  • Patricia Brown says:

    Steven description had me envisioning a trip to Italy. Coffee, rose, orange and Oud notes so like a delicious cake. I’m a big gourmand fragrance fan. I can’t wait to get my nose on this Xerjoff. Sort of reminded me of Symphonium,

  • sovelin says:

    Love Steven’s knowledge on perfumery and his passion in his videos. And Michelyn has a gift with words. I can literally visualize the scene she sets for the perfume.

  • b truss says:

    I’m an avid follower of redolessence who has influenced the blind buy of several xerjoff fragrances and many other frags. I currently own erba pura which I got for my daughter but I do use for layering. I also own 40 knots, Naxos, and comandante. Comandante was a complete blind buy for me off of the note breakdown.

  • MATT RITTER says:

    I love coffee fragrances. I appreciate steven’s fragrance reviews which are to the point and easy to understand with all the details explained precisely. I am excited to add this coffee blend citrus fragrance to my collection and wear it this winter. Thanks. Happy Holidays.

  • Arian says:

    I’m such a sucker for coffee based fragrances! Steven introduced this gorgeous fragrance to me. Would like to smell this one day.

  • BigMickyD says:

    Coffee is one of my favourite notes in perfumery, and I’d expect Xerjoff to execute it to perfection, and based off of both Michelyn’s and Steven’s stellar reviews, that seems to be the case. The fresh citrusy opening morphing into a deeper, richer coffee/oud combination sounds to be nothing else than perfection.

    I live in Sweden, but I have a friend who lives in the US who in turn can send the package to me, I sincerely hope this can work.

  • Alexa94 says:

    Steven’s review of this fragrance was very interesting and describes something that I truly think I would enjoy. Michelyn’s review was great as well, especially this part: “The warmth of amber, hint of oud and a touch of aromatic green notes blend together beautifully and never overwhelm.” With this description in mind I think that this perfume could turn into my signature scent.

    I reside in Sweden, but I have family in the States that could accept it for me. I hope this can be arranged 🙂

  • LordKnut says:

    I didn’t know what a Moka was before I read Michelyn’s review, and I’ll never not appreciate new knowledge, so thank you. The citrusy opening with a resinous and coffee heart sounds lovely, I hope I can win. Steven’s review was short and straight to the point, which I can appreciate.

    I do not live in the USA, but I have acquaintances there that can accept it for me and then send it to my residence. Please let this be possible.

  • SPRITZMISS says:

    Im am coming out of my turkey coma now after a long nap, and i was so excited to check out cafleurebon and see this draw.

    I knew what Moka was referring to because i own and love one but i appreciate Michelyn providing that info for people as i know many people wouldn’t know what a moka is. Also how she says it reminds her of a full bodied medium italian roast coffee, this sounds delicious to me. I am a big coffee addict in real like and in fragrance!

    I like how Steven put my mind at ease about the oud in this composition not being barnyard and dirty and described this a Darker expression for a coffee fragrance that is intertwined with other interesting notes like blood orange and lemon. This sounds like a very interesting scent from one of my favorite houses.

    I am in North Carolina, USA

  • ianbradleyandrews says:

    I like the way michelyn compares it to a espresso drink she has had and love how Steven describes performance. This sound delightfully. I’m in Indiana.

  • Steve A says:

    The review exposed me to the word “caffettiera”. From the video I learned this is not just another rose/oud combination. US

  • Michael Reed says:

    I have some other coffee fragrances, and I love the note but most of my current ones feel as though they have to be sickly sweet to round out the scent.
    I really look forward to this one based on Michelyn’s review- more of a citrus forward than a sugar forward coffee scent. Steven’s discussion of how the scent allows all notes to stand out rather than being smothered by an overbearing coffee note makes it very appealing.

  • Uncle1979 says:

    Through Golden Moka , and Michelyn , and Steven reviews people worldwide could learn about about one special coffee fragrance, and to try , and buy one refined and multifaceted fragrance.

    “blood orange, lemon and mandarin that brings to mind Espresso Romano”

    I love the comparison.

    “A Moka (caffettiera)is an Italian stovetop coffee maker”

    Technically Moka Express pot was named after the city of Mokha in Yemen, and the inventor was Alfonso Bialetti. The company Bialetti still exists, making one of the best Moka Express pots out there.
    Michelyn and Steven takes on the fragrance made me think of going on Italian vacation with my girlfriend, making and later sharing the famous Sour Cream-Orange Coffee Cake , with Pecan Streusel , and drinking Espresso Romano.
    Judging by how enthusiastic Michelyn and Steven are , I have a feeling Golden Moka scent, and development will shock me in a good way.
    I had similar experience with not only the best Casamorati, to the best Xerjoff , and one of the best gourmands ever – Italica , the awesome , and similar to Toffee Almond Cake (traditional recipe) fragrance .
    Appreciate both reviews , and the giveaway campaign

    I have 4 different xerjoff fragrances and have fallen in love with all of them! I am really wanting to try out the golden moka! Sounds amazing!

  • Ken White says:

    I don’t drink coffee but I LOVE the way it smells. Both Steven’s and Michelyn’s reviews describe something I would enjoy. New Jersey, USA

  • lillian33 says:

    Steve’s review was wonderful and makes me seriously want to try this!! I love espresso notes in almost any kind of fragrance and think I will enjoy this. From CT, USA. Thanks for the opportunity!

  • LordKnut says:

    This sounds absolutely beautiful. I have a feeling this would work great for me.

    I live in Europe but I have acquaintances that can accept the bottle for me.

  • BigMickyD says:

    I have tried many fragrances from Xerjoff before, and honestly, not one has dissappointed me thus far. Coffee is one of my absolute favourite notes. Both Michelyn and Steven’s descriptions of this being bright and invigorating, while still being resinous and deep, is very alluring to me.

    I live in Sweden, but I have family in the States that can accept the price for me, and then send me it. I hope this can be possible.

  • Zaharia Valentin-Iulian says:

    Xerjoff is for sure the best perfume house ever! I am very juicy for everything they offer <3

  • Alexa94 says:

    What a lovely scent this seems to be, indeed. In my mind, and based off of Michelyn’s and Steven’s reviews this seems to be a fall and spring stunner. Great reviews by you both by the way, as usual.

    I do not live in the US, but a friend of mine lives in the states and can accept it for me, and in turn send it to my own residence. I hope this can be arranged 🙂

  • rmsssss says:

    Coffee is one of my absolute favorite smells! I like how Michelyn described Golden Moka as smelling like a medium roast cup of coffee. So many other coffee-scented fragrances smell dark and burnt, but she found this one to be bright and invigorating. I also enjoyed Steven’s description of the herbal notes that lift the composition and the amber base, which is an accord I always love. I would love to win a bottle of this one! I’m in MN, USA, and I follow @cafleurebonofficial as well (@ra7chel)

  • mclane says:

    I looooove coffee, generally I love dark Fragrances especially the oud Rose combo, I love how this review was covered I feel like I’ve already smelled it.

    I’m from The USA

  • drjedi says:

    Steven’s video review of Xerjoff Golden Moka did a great job of describing the perfume, especially when he compares with other coffee perfumes. He did a nice job describing how the other ingredients are allowed to express themselves without coffee, or any other note, dominating the perfume. Also appreciate how he always tells which situations would be most appropriate for a particular perfume. Liked how Michelyn compared it to Espresso Romano, which gives one an idea of top notes. Liked her note on Moka – “A Moka (caffettiera) is an Italian stovetop coffee maker that produces coffee by heating the water and passing it through ground coffee.”

    Thanks for the reviews and draw. I am a Redolessence subscriber and am from the USA.

  • INYA says:

    I liked that Michelyn mentioned blood orange and mandarin notes in Golden Moka. Sounds perfect with coffee and incense. Steven describes it a darker scent with its Cambodian Oud. Love that! Thanks for another awesome review and draw. Mich USA

  • skye says:

    Xerjoff Golden Mona sounds like the perfect post feast fragrance, Michelyn’s description of the scent as an Espresso Romano with the lemon peel rubbed into the cup seems appropriate. Steve always gives such detailed reviews. I like his explanation on the different types of coffee-centric fragrances.

    I follow @Cafleurebonofficial. MD, USA.

  • FC says:

    Steven reviews reports that while the fragrance is true to its name in being centered around coffee, it has a green side to it that makes it different from other coffee fragrances. I am in US.

  • Tyler Gantz says:

    Absolutely amazing fragrance, my personal favorite from the house, would love to have a full bottle.

  • glowup says:

    Coffee, amber, oud and incense!!!! Some of my absolute favorite notes and I certain Xerjoff combined them perfectly. Incense doesn’t always have to be smoky, un-burned incense can smell just as wonderful, along with the coffee and amber. This would be a love for me. I would love to win this one.

    Indiana USA

  • Vahagn says:

    I enjoyed Michelyn’s and Steven’s reviews !
    Love coffee notes in perfumery very much. Would like to test smell and drink Bialetti Milano as Michelyn mentioned in comparison of Golden Moka.
    Love Steven very beautiful description.
    USA

  • Sngash says:

    Thank you Michelyn for the mini review, now I know what a Moka is since I never thought to check it out before 🙂 I also liked Steven’s review and that he found the coffee in the fragrance was not overbearing and allowed other ingredients to share in the glory. I’m in USA and so far haven’t found a Xerjoff that I haven’t loved with the breakout stars for me being Naxos, More Than Words and Mefisto Gentiluomo.

  • Nancy Novitch says:

    I loved Stephen’s review of how the scent transformed hourly on the dry down and the uniqueness of the scent from the other Coffee Break collection perfumes! I liked how Michelyn was happy to rediscover this gem. Thank you!

  • Mike W. says:

    I really liked Steven’s description of how the coffee comes across in this fragrance. Likewise, I like Michelyn’s description and comparison to an Italian roast coffee. It really paints a picture for me of how this fragrance smells.

  • Torax says:

    Oh boy, I am a huge Xerjoff fan and I love coffee based fragrances. I think that the rose, incense and coffe in this fragrance makes it something very specail and different to everything else.
    I hope I win this one.
    Both Michelyn and Steven make great reviews, each on their own ways. I find it interesting that Michelyn says that this fragrance reminds her of an italian roast coffee.

  • opalbear says:

    I like how Steven carefully goes over the notes and Michelyn brings in little curiosities like the name of the stove top coffee press in Italian. The fragrance sounds invigorating and warm.

  • ThatMulattoDude says:

    Citrus, incense, and coffee…yes please! Really impressed with the presentation and attention to detail of Xerjoff. Steven’s description of the different elements of this fragrance give a clear picture of what the progression is. Always love Michelyn’s background info on the scents as well. Would really like to have this in my collection. Appreciate the giveaway opportunity. Many blessings from Virginia, USA!

  • Brian Nam says:

    This has some of my favorite notes, this video review was the first I’ve heard of this fragrance. I need to get my nose on this, it sounds like a winner!

  • d3m0lici0n says:

    Great reviews. The video makes it look like an amazing fall/winter one. Since he mentioned that coffee lets other ingredients be part of the creation and not a full in your face coffee fragrance.
    Plus the citruses at the open and the oud, incense and amber will make this for sure a terrific fragrance to wear in colder weather. Hoping to win, haven’t tried anything new this year. Happy Holidays to everyone here.

  • OliviaFin says:

    Two of my favorite things put together in a bottle! I’m a coffee fiend and looove citrusy scents. I always love listening to others talk out loud about scents — it really adds another level of understanding for me

  • petergigov says:

    Learning about Golden Moka was such a delight , Steven and Michelyn are such a great duo ! The different facets set up by the perfumer are impressive , it’s not just a linear coffee fragrance , it’s way more.
    The new Xerjoff , new to me at least, is citrusy coffee, with
    Some gourmand elements , tiny bit of smoke, and sensuality coming from the rose.
    Posh fragrance at its best. I need such perfumes in my collection.
    I also like the Interlude Man comparison, I do not own it , but the even better Interlude Black Iris is in my possession
    I’d wear Golden Moka going out to a bar . I’ll look for samples. My expectations are beyond high
    Out of all Xerjoff lines, my favorites are Casamorati Lira , Opera , Italica and Amabile.
    Overly exciting giveaway, USA
    Regards

  • Cuttyj77 says:

    My favorite coffee fragrance has always been Intoxicated By Kilian. I did receive a sample of this from Xerjoff when I purchased a bottle of Italica. I really liked it, and on my skin, it had a cigarette smell in the drydown, which I think is the citrus and the green notes mixing. Very bright on my skin. I liked how Michelyn compared it to Espresso Romano with the lemon peel rubbed along the rim of the cup. Per Stevens review I agree with the oregano note and smoke, and I wonder if that is where I get that cigarette impression?
    Thank you for the draw!!
    In the US.

  • Gig84 says:

    Bialetti pot i own for many years , the best way to make a good coffee.
    I like how Golden Moka is not just a great composition , but it’s made to almost honor Espresso Romano.
    Definitely coffee fragrance with a character, that has a lot of layers, fresh , woody and ambery .
    I love such non-linear artistic perfumes , something to be expected of Xerjoff of course.
    Naxos and La Capitale are my favorite Xerjoff beauties , and I’d love to compare them with Golden Moka
    Thanks for the draw
    USA

  • kelvinz6820 says:

    As a massive fan of Xerjoff, I find their unique transitions intoxicating. I live in Stevens video, he uses his expertise to find the hidden hints of oak moss and patchouli. In Michelyns review I love how they describe initial smell of citrus switch to oud. It highlights the individuality of this fragrance as no other does this. It makes me really want to add this to my collection. I live in NYC, USA

  • FelixDiaz says:

    Thanks for the great review and loved the imagery of a full bodied Italian roast! As a coffee lover I can absolutely relate!!

    I headed over here after watching Steven’s video. The combination of coffee and incense, as he described, just sounded downright cool. I am a college student at Williams and, although I have always loved more complex and interesting fragrances, I usually cannot afford them, so this giveaway would be an amazing blessing.

    Thanks again for the review! And whether or not I win the giveaway, I might need to get a small 5mL decant of this one. It sounds amazing.

  • mmerline says:

    I don’t think I’ve had an Espresso Romano, but the combination of bright citrus with a rich, full bodied coffee sounds absolutely wonderful. After reading Michelyn’s review I can practically smell the strongly-brewed coffee, freshly poured from the Moka pot, with a dash of lemon just squeezed. I’m really curious how the amber, oud, and rose interact with that invigorating smell. I also like how Stephen talked about the different kind of coffee fragrances; the kind that are very literal and the ones that weave coffee into a more complex whole. Like Stephen pointed out, I’ll be smelling for how the fresh citrus accents and counters the dark elements in this fragrance, as well as the accessible oud. Stephen’s take on the green cast to this base caught my attention—wormwood, clary sage, and oregano all sound like unexpected additions to a coffee fragrance. Thank you for the reviews! I’d love to try this one.

    I’m in the USA.

  • Michael Prince says:

    I loved Steven’s review and Michelyn’s mini review of Xerjoff Golden Moka. Steven describes this as the perfect Rich Coffee fragrance with dominant supporting notes of a green accord, incense, amber, and citrus with only a small focus on the traditional included Rose and Oud notes. Michelyn also interprets the dominant lemon peel and mandarin blending the a rich and robust coffee that infuses with incense, green notes, and a touch of a wearable oud. This sounds like something I would truly love.

    I follow @Cafleurebonofficial my instagram name is @michaelprincefragrance I am from the USA.

  • Regis Monkton says:

    I definitely want to try this fragrance. Michelyn caused me to be intrigued to try it when she called it rich and resinous, and while making it clear that it smells like “a full-bodied medium Italian roast coffee like Bialetti Milano.” I can truly like coffee fragrances. I can gather that I’d like this fragrance on account of Steven making it clear that it is a coffee-based fragrance where the coffee ingredient is cleverly intertwined with a lot of warm, spicy, ambery ingredients. I live in the U.S.A.

  • Christie says:

    Michelyn’s “lemon peel rubbed in a cup” caught my attention and made me go and watch Steven’s video. I loved Steven’s reminder that different ways of using a coffee note really changes what type of coffee scent you will get from a certain fragrance. Golden Moka seems unique with the twist of citrus and like a type I’ve never smelled. I’m very interested in trying it. And as always, the bottle is beautiful.

    Thanks for the reviews and the giveaway. In the USA.

  • roblexky says:

    I really enjoyed Michelyn’s Espresso Romano comparison, where the lemon peel is rubbed in the cup. It was also helpful to hear Steven’s detailed description of all of the notes. Sounds like an excellent composition. USA

  • creightonw says:

    I enjoy adding a bit of lemon to my homemade espresso, so this sounds like something I should try. I appreciate that Steven discussed the characteristics that distinguish Golden Moka from other coffee scents, and I’m excited by the idea of citruses, rose, and incense, with an emphasis on some of my favorite resins. Reading from New Hampshire.

  • IvanVelikov says:

    Golden Moka feels Italian to me, it represents the beauty , passion, lust , and sensuality of Italian man, and women.
    Ideally balanced, rich coffee, resinous amber, some hints of oud , and it’s made by Xerjoff ? I believe I’d feel in good spirits wearing it.
    Ermenegildo Zegna Cloth tailored fit Charcoal Puppytooth suit is the outfit I’d pair Golden Moka.
    My favorite Xerjoff is Lira .
    Thank you Michelyn, Steven and Europerfumes
    USA

  • y1NYang69 says:

    Haha, love Micheyln’s description! This fragrance’s name is awesome. I haven’t been able to try any in the coffee break line yet but I know Xerjoff’s quality. After watching Steven’s review, I’m interested in how the citrus opening will work with the coffee note. It’s easy to see how the oud will work with the coffee but will be interesting to see how the citrus works with the darker elements of the fragrance.

  • Bubeto_GG says:

    I imagine not just Golden Moka, but the whole Coffee Break collection is worth sampling.
    The quality, and artisanal approach are present , blood orange, roasted coffee, aromatic green notes is not something you see everyday. Sergio Momo knows what he’s doing, I need to order samples of all Golden Moka, Golden Dallah and Golden Green asap.
    The best Xerjoff fragrances i think are Cruz del Sur II , followed by Golden Dallah and then comes my old love Lira.
    Thank you for the opportunity

    After sone long hiatus, it feels so good to be back 🙂
    I know Golden Moka, and I agree with Espresso Romano comparison Michelyn made , especially in the opening.
    Bialetti Milano to me is even closer to the actual smell of the fragrance. Other than fragrance nurd ,and collector , I’m also coffee lover, Bialetti Milano is 100% Arabica with pleasant fruity and floral smell and taste.
    Golden Moka gets fruity in the base, and I also get iris , go figure.
    My favorite Xerjoff is Mamluk

    Fantastic video and mini review! What I enjoyed about Steven’s YouTube review of Xerjoff Golden Moka was how he describes the unusual green accord as very aromatic and very herbal, two things rarely found in a coffee fragrance. I really like how he breaks down the accord to possibly being composed of wormwood, clary sage, oregano, or basil, and how he compares it to similar to Amouage Interlude for men but less smoky. I always appreciate knowledgeable comparisons like that.

    What I enjoyed about Michelyn’s mini review is her comparison of Golden Moka to the exotic and delicious sounding Espresso Romano, where lemon peel is rubbed in the cup. I have never had an Espresso Romano but am a huge fan of Italian coffee culture, so a fragrance of this variety sounds perfect to me.

    Thanks for the great review Stephen and Michelyn.

    Xerjoff makes some interesting coffee fragrances – I do remember Golden Dallah, which was a fantastic coffee fragrance.

    I love how this is reminiscent of a full bodied coffee. THe combination of lemon peel, blood orange, rose oud and green notes sounds like such a fantastic fragrance, especially in combination with the resinuous aspects.

    Michelyn’s review was a great introduction to this fragrance.
