Incredibly informative video review. Loved it

There is a reason Tony is referred to as the "Riff Master". A creative genius who helped innovate how guitar players approached the instrument. This fragrance lives up to the genius of its' namesake. 11/10 fragrance, another masterpiece from Xerjoff

Very articulate and complete review. I love this, so much , bought 2 bottles. I play guitar and collect fragrances, so this was a perfect match for me. Dark, sweet incense smoke, fruity, rhum, but also has a lighter side that is not dominated. I agree with you. There is not one note playing here that totally takes over. Very well blended, so you experience them all. Like a good group of musicians when they hit it just right, everyone in sync. I've been following Black Sabbath and Toni Iommi since the early 1970s. I really enjoyed your insights on the relationship between Sergio and Toni, plus the musical connection of the scent, wonderful. I have a live rock show this fall and plan to wear this... it will fit perfectly. Warm, inviting, non- offensive yet projecting and long lasting. ( It smells like a deep opium den dream that you don't want to wake from...very addictive. )

whenever I acquire a new favorite and look forward to a reviewer whom I admire, i find that you have reviewed it. Beautiful database you've created so far with explicit content, and to your point this will be great for a cool weather. Great to see you my friend and hope you're doing well.

Now THIS is one I'm keen to try

Excellent excellent excellent review and breakdown of this fragrence. Glad I'm a subscriber. Really loving your videos. All the best from Philadelphia!

This came my way because of you, and bought it. Very happy with it, super complex. Art. Thank you !

I just got a bottle today after I fall in love with it when I got a decant. Best from Xerjoff together with Naxos

Thank you for the review! I want to get my hands on it 😏

Great review! I love this fragrance!

My friend, I just purchased this fragrance and wow, it’s amazingly awesome. I’ve been holding not thinking it would be a hit. I was wrong. Thanks again for another blind buy worth buying lol.

Marcelo, I agree with you Tony Iommi is so GREAT. It is beast mode for me. A couple sprays last me all day into the night.

Got it, love it. Love our Black Sabbath; timeless. His fragrance definitely takes you on tour… leather, smoke, metal , almost incensy yet super cool. 🖤🤘🏻. My wife bought it.

You finally got it!

The story behind Iommi and the way that Sergio opted to change his design language to something more challenging definitely panned out for him with Monkey Special. But with Groove Xcape, it was pretty quickly evident that catching lightning in a bottle twice isn't that easy. I will stand on this opinion that Iommi will be among the greatest releases of the 2020s, sure it won't have mainstreamdom like a Baccarat or Aventus, but it will be in that tier below the mainstream niche for people who are true hobbyists, e.g. in tier with 2010 releases like Ani or Black Phantom or Side Effect.

This is what I love about xerjoff every fragrance tells a story … can’t wait to get my hands on Xerjoff Tony Iommi!!

Great video Marcelo! ❤👍

Excellent fragrance, i currently own don, naxos, and erba pura from Xerjoff and per your video, i bought monkey special. I am surprised your channel doesn’t get as many views and subscribers. Great content and actually has genuine thought out replies to comments.

Excellent review Marcello, thanks for the history of Tony and Black Sabbath then tying it all together with our passion, fragrance!

Sir it's such an enjoyment to watch your videos. True I can't afford any niche and did only try Naxos once. He left deep impression on me. Finally I saw the line between boring designers and artistic fragrances. I can only imagine how others are smelling! Think I would spend days just smelling niche collection.

Wow! This is such a glorious perfume and it fits so well with Tony Iommi, the opening is where it really gets me, the sweetness with the rose, rum, grapefruit and patchouli and it stays like that for a while. When it dries down it gets dark and smokey, the patchouli? (reminds me of Psychedelique by Jovoy), and the longevity is amazing. My dad is a guitarist and played in bands a lot in his life and he mentioned always smelling like patchouli, having like a patchouli oil bottle. I wore this to a rock concert half a year ago and it was just perfect in that environment, here this scent really boosted my mood that night. I love how you mention the album Master of Reality, I didn't know it yet but listened to it while smelling Iommi, and also the Scent of the Dark track. That contrast is what I love in music, perfumery, art and just everything really. Two of the songs I really enjoy on the album are Embryo and Orchid. It is funny seeing my own comment from 7 months ago, how I sampled this and Torino22 and how they had already become favorites by then.

Great video!

Thoroughly enjoyed.

This man is a fragrance scholar! Amazing review Sir Marcello 👏🏾

0:52 A transformation is what i seek & like too. I‘ve only found it in a few fragrances, like Chanel Allure Blanche, citrus to cream

Dear brother in fragrance.. you did it again. It was a lime a dream walking through with you deep in the story line ..thank you for the great time. I hope i can put my nose on this fragrance..

Definitely still a fragrance I'm gonna aim to get a full bottle of! I've managed to get my hand on a sample and it is glorious! Great review, Marcelo! As always!

One of my all time favourite frags. The opening minute of War Pigs is the audio version of this fragrance to me. Great vid Marcelo and excellent choice.

I finally got a bottle of this. It is my top 5 frags I have. 🤘

Very in depth review. Gonna have to get my nose on this and listen to some Black Sabbath for the full experience!

Class review love it

Best fragrance channel on KZfaq.

I have a small decant… it’s a surprisingly fabulous scent. Addictive even.

Bought it today based on your review I just love it and pronounced (eye) ommi

Am still waiting delivery from Xerjoff i chose it because of your recommendations and you just made me more hyped with this video!

Got it earlier this week from Myer online was wearing it today.. My friend smelled it on me this evening and she said "it's you" love it.

Love Xerjoff Tony Iommy! One of the best from Xerjoff tbh🔥

Thanks for sharing your video, I have recently received my package from Xerjoff in the mail the other day. And I had purchased the Groove Xscape and it doesn't smells anywhere like the Tony Iommi with its smells of sweet caramel rum & honey vanilla , it smells more like a peck of pickled peppers that Peter Piper had just picked or being inside of a Subway sandwich shop..I know Xerjoff makes beautiful smelling fragrances, but that Groove Xscape is not one of them..

Awesome review!! What’s not to live about this gem?!? The fragrance is simply amazing…deliciously complex. And the backstory is great! Did you check-out the video of these two jamming together?? I’m a Xerjofff fanboy and they outdid themselves on this one!

Thanks for the in depth setting of the scene. As for the scent, the ‘harmonious chord’ as you (almost) formulated it, is pushing hard. That chord keeps going and going and going. Sauvage Elixir is pushing a chord in the same way and it got on my nerves eventually , for Tony Iommi I haven’t made my mind up yet. And you really gotta love that chord since it is coming and coming for 7 hours at least…

This smells so good on me. I love patchouli in my fragrances.

Being a Black Sabbath and Tony Iommi fan myself, I can only respect those who respect the living legend that inspired thousands of artists who decided to play heavy metal music having him in mind. This review is, by far, the best and most complete I have listened to so far and I often reach out to it just for the pleasure of re-listening to it!

Sounds awesome. I think I should sample it. Probably not a fragrance to wear to the office, though. 😅

One of my best purchases. As long as they make this I will keep a bottle

Got it a bit after I got TUXEDO. Love it. Tuxedo I barely wear and their 125ml is because their atomizer sprays out so much. I layer it with ATH CARBON , because tuxedo fades on me I feel. Tony Iommi love it. Smelled it in a sample I got when I ordered Alexandria 2/ Naxos. Smelled it, wore it once, I’m like nice… smelled a bit like PDLN 3 , so I’m like Ight I’ll buy it. Of course it’s different. PDLN 3 by Roja is ANIMALIC but it’s nice and more of an incense rose.

I definitely like it - long lasting, and get's better the deeper you go into the dry down. It's an absolute pleasure to smell this on your skin the following morning. However I know it's all entirely subjective, but for some reason I'm torn over whether to keep it - there are other 'similar' frags I prefer more. I can't deny this is a very well crafted scent though.

Just got it about two weeks ago along with Starlight and Symphonium. Blind bought Tony Iommi and Starlight. My best blind buys ever (and they are also some of the best in my collection). Damn, Tony Iommi is just an incredibly beautiful fragrance. Definitely my top 3 of hundreds (600-700) I have tried. Edit: I have to clarify. I don't have 600-700 fragrances in my collection, I have smelled/tried that amount. I do have around 210-220 fragrances in my collection though. 😄

Great fragrance 4 sure. It still reminds me of the original A men mugler. The star note for me in this fragrance is the cowhide leather. It does mesh well with the caramel; powerful stuff!

Oh boy, I am going down a very dangerous path with Xerjoff. I purchased Naxos at the beginning of December, and I love it. Just got La Capitale and it’s amazing as well. Finally Tony Iommi is back in stock at my favourite discounter and I ordered it right away, I cannot wait for it, love your description of it and all the Xerjoff fragrances. (Oh and I also picked up JTC 400, just to keep the collection going 😅)I don’t have anyone here in my city that sells Xerjoff, so I have been blind buying (which is a no no in your book) but Xerjoff seems to have hit the mark for me both times.

Sampled this as soon as it was available in Australia. From first spray to 'okay, I'm wearing this now' in about a minute then ordered less than a day later (Libertine were only getting 30 something bottles and I didn't want to miss out). Well worth it, and I fully intend to add a backup in case the run ends. Phenomenal fragrance. Excellent vid and description of it Marcello. The only issue I have with it is that I look at the 50ml and say 'how long will this last... really?'.

I was just in the convenience store 24 hours after application. A lady stopped me for a compliment and asked all about the brand I was wearing. She said I smelled fresh. I gave her some shopping tips and she wrote it all down. I was shocked anyone could still smell it.

Well done

Just sampled this earlier today at a department store and was immediately reminded of TF tobacco oud. When I got home I had a spray of that and I can’t tell them apart if I’m absolutely honest. It’s very very nice and after 4 hours still going strong, just too similar (to me anyway) to Tom’s Tobacco Oud.

Nice watch

I received a sample today. It is really nice, especially the fruitiness. Apart from the fruit, it does remind me alot of Baraonda, though.

This is A*Men in a different bottle. I am honestly curious about people who have smelled both and praising this, because you can smell identical for $250 less

Oh man ... Sold out everywhere around! Been trying to get my hands around that one since it came out .. tried it once and I've regreted since for not getting it when I had the chance. I have to correct you though. It is not first colaboration with an artist. In 2021 Xerjoff lauched "Save me" in colab with Brian May of Queen. Guess who let it go too...........sighs Anyway ...excellent review as usual. I've heard you talking about Xerjoff and Casamorati a lot..but have u tried Kemi Bleding magic? I understand they are also under Xerjoff house in colab with Chris Maurice. I'd like to know what do you think about them. Un abrazo enorme mi hermano. Ricardo

Was able to lay my hands on this masterpiece for a really good price (47/50 ml and full presentation for about 170 USD). This fragrance has already become my favourite. Really big fan of gourmand and patchouli fragrances. And as always, our very dear Marcelo, you have done an amazing review, really taking us on a trip about the fragrance. Sending love from Israel, Marcelo❤

You make everything interesting Marcello :) ! I guess the guitarist with 2 missing fingers that inspired Tony Iomi is jazz icon Django Reinhardt

Sprayed a sample wow. It's such a joy to smell it. Does it come in 100ml? In Australia seems like libertine is the place to get it

Tony’s tuning is typically called Drop D. Mick Mars from Motley Crue and many others employed that tuning. EVH tuned to E flat

The Xerjoff Tony Iommi Monkey = Exactly Montale Intense Cafe. I have both. And its way less expensive.

Tony Iommi was my most worn in 2022 and I only had it for the last 6 months

I have only smelled on test card and thought it was good. I don’t have any locations around me that carry this. It would be a online buy. My worry is Ambergris, I seem to consistently dislike scents that have heavy Ambergris. How prevalent is that note ?

Now I got to get my nose on this fragrance 😎

I bought this bottle recently i notice its getting some short of leaks from the top its same with you?

Is it redundant if i pick patchouli magnetik if i have iommi?

Marcelo, there’s a lot of hype behind this fragrance. Do you find any similarities to Parfums De Marly Herod? Thanks for sharing the background on this fragrance.

I don’t like Hacivat either. It’s an oak moss bomb and that’s off putting to my nose. I regret purchasing a full bottle. I got caught up in the Creed Aventus alternative hype train several years ago. Hacivat doesn’t smell like Aventus IMO. Tony Iommi Monkey Special is one of my top 5 Xerjoff fragrances. I’ve been wearing it and Xerjoff Starlight a lot this past Fall and this Winter.

It smells great for an hour or so and then you MUST reapply. It has NO longevity. But it smells awesome.

Hai marcelo... iommi OR enigma parfum(black stone)

What watch is he wearing?

Cracker of a review !

Hi, how does this compare to Carlisle by PDM? OR does this remind you of any other perfume?

what ages can wear this perfume?

I don't mean in any way to sound insulting. I loved the fragrance, but to me it smelled exactly like what a 50+ rocker would wear. Is it front loading in my mind because of knowing about iommi? Should I rethink it? Does it actually smell mature?

Do you fancy this perfume on a woman? Or is it quite masculine?

Smells like success

Every time I hear about Tony Iommi, I have to tell myself like a mantra “no blind buy, no blind buy!!!”. I’ll try to wait until I’m in Milan to have a chance to smell it before splurging 😂

Is it strictly for fall winter❓or you could wear it all year around ❓ Thanks for your presentation ‼️

Tony Iommi Deified has been released recently. Have you had a chance to sample?

does it smell similar to oajan or angel share?

I wish it came in 100ml because 50ml not enough for me

Where did your Panerai go?

Is it sexy or masculine fragrance?

Sweet & Boozy: A Candy Harlot I've 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 festooned with rose and geranium garlands, ridden by sweetly smiling, musky Candy Harlots, and I know I'm in love. Sillage, and projection are potent, longevity at 5 hours is going strong

Does it only come in 50ml?

can i use this fragrence in summer?

It is pronounced "Eye-oh-me" !

EYE HAD ALL THEIR ALBUMZ INKLUDING MASTER OF REALITY....I'M TELLIN MY AGE HERE LOL....ONE OF THA GREATEST BANDZ EVER SO EYE KNOW THA COLOGNE IZ NO XCEPTION....GREAT BACKSTORY

It is pronounced, Eye-oh-me! You should know this.

It is not a good fragrance, smell like Beer and Sweet .

Just recieved my sample today and I get why this is your favorite fragrance, it wasn't what I expected but it is devine! I expected more patchouli but after 4 hours am still getting mostly rum, passionfruit and I think rose, but it is so well blended! This is close to being a new favorite (I think it will be), also sampled Torino22 today and that one is also better than I expected, it is really unique. I recently sampled a fragrance that's now my new favorite, which made me go wow! Will comment on your video on that one soon

Tony Iommi Monkey Special is fantastic. I was also happy to see a guitar pick included, what a nice surprise. And as a matter of fact, Tony is my scent of the day. Thanks Marcelo!

Italians do it better ! 😏 Now it's time for Sorcinelli. Matteo. Milano
