Xerjoff Kobe

You can buy the genuine Xerjoff Kobe straight from FragranceNet.com. The real bottle comes first; the accessible alternatives below are there if you'd rather spend less.

Xerjoff Kobe opens with Bergamot, Orange and Labdanum; a heart of Neroli and Orange Blossom; drying down to Amber, Tonka Bean and Musk, from notes Xerjoff (official) publishes. Those notes read as citrus, floral, sweet, amber, woody, musky, the coarse families Xerjoff (official) cites. How it wears depends on your skin and the concentration. We only publish notes and accords we can trace to a source.

The genuine Xerjoff Kobe runs $185.49 at FragranceNet.com as of this page's last update, though retailers set their own prices and change them.

We rank the "smells-like" alternatives to Kobe by how closely their cited accords match the original, cheapest first. A dupe is meant to evoke Kobe, not match its formula, and we say as much. If we can't verify a genuine match yet, we leave it off.

Xerjoff Kobe is listed as unisex, marketed for anyone, which is how we'd wear it too. Fragrance has no inherent gender; the label just reflects how the retailer sells it.

Prada Amber (shares Labdanum, Orange, Tonka Bean); Versace Yellow Diamond (shares Neroli, Orange Blossom, Amber); Versace Yellow Diamond Intense (shares Neroli, Orange Blossom, Amber). These share specific notes with Kobe, a closer match than a shared accord family. We rank them by how many of Kobe's cited notes they actually share, weighting rarer notes heavier than ubiquitous ones. Each is its own fragrance with real, sourced notes, not a copy of Kobe, and has its own page.
