XerJoff is once again taking a very musical approach with two new “Blends”. The scents Tony Iommi Blend No 1 Monkey Special<\/a> and Tony Iommi – Deified<\/a> have emerged from the collaboration with the metallic riff master Tony Iommi from Black Sabbath. I have reported on “Tony Iommi and Xerjoff: How does darkness smell?<\/a>” and “Deified – Tony Iommi’s place in the Xerjoff Olympus<\/a>“. <\/p>\n\n

Now we enter a decade later, in the 1980s, and in a completely different direction, namely synthpop or new wave, to which Duran Duran belongs. I admit it honestly. It’s not really my kind of music and I’m perhaps still a bit too young to have experienced the era directly. Nevertheless, “The Wild Boys” and “Rio” didn’t pass me by. While researching, I found it interesting that the band was kicked off the BBC program with the video<\/a> for “Girls on Films”. Too much naked skin was already a big stir back then, and obviously not much has changed since 1981. But much more violent still – I quote Wikipedia<\/a>: <\/p>\n\n

In July 1983, Duran Duran […] played a concert at London’s Dominion Theatre in honor of Princess Diana and her husband Prince Charles. It was here that disaster almost struck. The IRA was planning an attack on the royal couple, which would probably have resulted in the death of the group. The assassination attempt was foiled by an undercover investigator. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

The creative collaboration between Duran Duran and XerJoff boss Sergio Momo has resulted in the two fragrances NeoRio and Black Moonlight. They both aim to represent the stylistic range of the music group and combine it with art, glamor and luxury fragrances. Have they succeeded? Let’s get into the fray! <\/p>\n\n

With NeoRio, which of course refers by name to the big hit “Rio”, XerJoff has four neon-colored bottles in its range. Whether in yellow, pink, orange or green – they all contain the same fragrance, but collectors and fans will still be tempted to buy four of them. Take a look at the color of the drinks and the body painting: <\/p>\n\n
