Zoff Cruz Dulur 2 Review: A Tropical Gourmand by Xerjoff

Discover the vibrant, creamy, and exotic journey of Xerjoff's Zoff Cruz Dulur 2.

By James Whitmore, Fragrance News Reporter · · Updated

Zoff has carved a niche in the fragrance world by producing bold, uncompromising scents that appeal to connoisseurs of the dark and the decadent. With Cruz Dulur 2, the brand continues its exploration of the oud-rose dichotomy, but with a sharper, more modern edge. This is not a shy fragrance; it announces itself with a peppery blast and settles into a leathery, smoky embrace that lingers for hours.

Named after the perfumer Cruz Dulur (a pseudonym for a collaborative team), this second iteration refines the original’s formula by dialing up the saffron and adding a touch of labdanum for warmth. It’s a unisex scent that leans slightly masculine, but its floral heart keeps it balanced. Whether you’re a seasoned oud lover or a newcomer looking for an entry point into the genre, Cruz Dulur 2 offers a compelling, if intense, experience.
