Xerjoff Tony Iommi Monkey Special Parfum
Description
Xerjoff Tony Iommi Monkey Special is a dark, rum-soaked rock-and-roll parfum that pours passion fruit and caramel over smoky leather and resin.
Composed by perfumer Chris Maurice for Italian house Xerjoff (2021), Monkey Special is the centerpiece of the Xerjoff Blends Rock Edition—a collaboration with Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi. It opens boozy and fruity, then settles into a brooding chypre-leather drydown that reviewers describe as a polarizing, mature winter-night signature with theatrical presence.
Scent Character
- Sweet — 43%
- Leather — 20%

Translation: a gourmand-leaning core of caramel, rum and vanilla wrapped in smoky leather and resin, lifted by rose and geranium with a faint spice and citrus edge. Rich and after-dark rather than crisp.
Fragrance Pyramid
Top: Passion Fruit, Rum, Bulgarian Geranium, Calabrian Bergamot
Heart: Leather, Singapore Patchouli, Bulgarian Rose, Cinnamon
Base: Caramel, Ambergris, Australian Sandalwood, Labdanum, Tonka Bean, Vanilla, Musk
Performance
Longevity: Strong — commonly 8–12 hours on skin, with reviewers reporting it lasting all day and lingering on clothing for far longer.
Sillage: Heavy — projects boldly in the opening hours; a little goes a long way.
Projection: Above average and room-filling early, settling closer to the skin as the leather-resin base takes over.
Best Occasions & Season
Built for Fall and Winter, and for Evening and Night Out wear. Officially unisex; the dark, leathery-gourmand character leans slightly masculine but suits anyone who likes bold, after-dark scents.
