Cognac and pepper over leather
The name “Notorious XO” plays on the idea of “XO” (Extra Old) cognac, linking to traditions of age, depth, and luxury. The concept is quite specific: a fragrance that mimics the feel of aged cognac in oak barrels. That’s a strong thematic anchor which makes it more than just a “vanilla/amber” scent
