The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2012 by Xerjoff, Kind of Blue is a Floral Aldehyde fragrance that navigates the tension between crisp aldehydes and warm spiciness. The composition opens with a fresh, powdery top note that gives way to a rich heart of iris and white florals. As it develops, the scent reveals a warm spicy base that adds depth and complexity, creating an intriguing contrast.
Kind of Blue has a rich base that takes time to develop. Apply it lightly in the morning, allowing the warm spices to emerge gradually throughout the day. The aldehydic top note fades quickly, so this scent is best enjoyed close to the skin rather than through its sillage.
