The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2009 by Xerjoff and crafted by Jacques Flori, Kobe is a citrus aromatic fragrance that marries bright freshness with warm depth. The opening notes of orange and bergamot create an immediate sense of crispness, while the heart adds layers of neroli and petitgrain for a floral-spicy complexity. As it settles into the base, labdanum, tonka bean, and ambergris bring rich warmth and sweetness, creating a composition that is both fresh and enveloping.
Apply Kobe with two sprays for optimal longevity. The citrus opening is vibrant but fades within an hour, making it essential to rely on its woody and balsamic base for sustained wear throughout the day.
