Xerjoff Comandante — Tobacco-Leather Decadence for the Connoisseur

Storytelling Introduction

Part of Xerjoff’s exclusive Join the Club line, Comandante, launched in 2012, evokes the intimate ambiance of classic smoking lounges. It recreates the tactile luxury of dimly lit rooms with leather armchairs, fine tobacco rituals, and social elegance—more about the mood than literal scent replication. 

Fragrance Notes & Olfactory Structure

Since the Join the Club collection keeps official notes secret, here’s a cadenced consensus of recognized accords:

• Top Notes: Fruity sweetness—often including cherry and honey, with floral overtones. 

• Heart Notes: Rich tobacco, smooth leather, accompanied by warm spices and floral touches. 

• Base Notes: Creamy vanilla, warm amber, cedar, soft patchouli, and labdanum add depth and elegance. 

Perceived scent keys include tobacco, honey, vanilla, leather, cedar, patchouli, and labdanum, wrapped in sweet, fruity, spicy, and woody accords.

Comandante is known for its strong projection and performance that lasts around 8+ hours, with some wearers enjoying even longer dry-downs.
