This Xerjoff Blends Rock Edition sees Black Sabbath's legendary guitarist, Tony Iommi, unify his monolithic riffs with Xerjoff's esteemed expertise to create the first multisensorial interaction primarily between music and perfume in an unexpected and unique olfactory venture. The Tony Iommi Monkey Special by Xerjoff Blends is what rock 'n' roll in the late '60s was for Iommi.
Xerjoff pays homage to Tony’s Italian roots with tantalising top notes of bergamot from Reggio Calabria, rum, Bulgarian Geranium and passion fruit, opening to cinnamon, Bulgarian rose and patchouli at the heart. Australian sandalwood, ambergris, vanilla, Tonka bean, caramel and musk are at the base, rounding off this olfactory journey in a luxuriously sleek and gothic bottle, available online and in selected retails.
Top Notes: Bergamot, Rhum, Bulgarian Geranium, & Passion Fruit

Rock n' Roll
I hate to recommend this because I want it to be my signature scent. It's mine, all MINE!
If heavy metal had a scent...This is it.
That being said, when you purchase this you are not only getting a fantastic perfume, but an amazing package. The bottle is beautiful, but the way it is packaged is off the charts. A cool outer package? Yes. But beyond that, it comes in this amazing box which is designed to be used even after the perfume is done. Remove the liner, and it'd make a great jewellery box. Plus, it comes with a nice little brochure which includes a guitar pick. This is a display piece. This was a great purchase.
Long live metal!

Great perfume, Not impressed by the libertine experience.
I love the perfume. I could have gotten it for a bit less money on other websites. I chose libertine for the samples. I didn't get a single sample I requested. The packaging is way over the top, and I believe a little out of sync with what is happening in the world vis a vis the environment... I gave it a 3 star rating for the whole libertine experience, not the perfume, which is 5 star.

Sweet & Boozy: A Candy Harlot
I written reviews for Xerjoff's NAXOS, and more lately Lubin's KORRIGAN, but this little delight...oh...
But IOMMI? This one's sweet, boozy, forceful and she's doing things to me, that I'm not entirely opposed to.
If I said to you that, for me, NAXOS was a continually complex olfactory adventure, and everytime I noticed that I was wearing it, by catching another wiff, that brought me something different again in the bouquet, I would not stray from the truth, and IF I said that KORRIGAN'S linear journey with high notes of Saffron, leather and oh, so many things... was a straight drive into nasal bliss, I again would not depart from the truth...
But, the sweetness of IOMMI, is something at once complex and linear in a way that I'm still not sure how I should tell you about it. It's sweet, but not floral, syrupy, and approaches, but doesn't cross into the dirty side of corruption, too sweet to taste like it's going to be good for you and promising that it's just bad enough to be enjoyed, thoroughly.
The notes higher in the bouquet; cinnamon, caramel and leather, for me, and maybe only for me, are the chief seduction in this ~ if you imagine SPICE BOMB, but with sweeter and easier to inhale gourmands ( the caramel screams for me to lick it ), that's riding on a bed of musk, and amber, and patchouli and that bed has a spread of Rum soaked sheets, dressed in vanilla, tonka and sandalwood pillow cases, I would agree.
Of course the bed is pulled along by two unicorns…

Exquisite
I blind bought this scent after hearing good things about it and the only regret I have is only buying one bottle at the sale price. If you want to impress on a night out or on a date, you won't go wrong with Tony Iommi. This is my new favourite scent.

A master piece!!
Tony Iommi is a roller coaster.
Everytime I wear this fragrance I just fall in love and something new tickles my nose.
Some days the patchouli comes through others it’s more the passionfruit and rum.
It seems to never be the same and I love it for that.
Dark mysterious and 100% a head turner!
