The story behind the bottle.
Cruz del Sur II by Xerjoff was launched in 2017 and is a Woody Floral Musk fragrance crafted by perfumer Miroslav Petkov. This composition opens with the vibrant burst of mango, guava, and pineapple, creating an immediate sense of tropical indulgence. The heart softens this with apple blossom and exotic floral notes, adding layers of sweetness and complexity. The base of milk, dried fruits, musk, vetiver, and cedar grounds it in a warm, enveloping embrace.
Apply Cruz del Sur II in two light sprays — the fruity top notes are bright but dissipate within an hour. The woody base takes over after that, offering warmth and depth throughout the day. It reads best close to skin rather than across a room.
