#306 - Mefisto by Xerjoff: Myke and Ryan Can't Agree
Can colors have distinct smells? We explore this intriguing question with a side of laughter as we embark on a whimsical fragrance journey. Ever wondered what "blue" smells like? From nostalgic college stories to the fine art of crafting mixed CDs, our discussion meanders into the world of scents with a humorous twist. Lamar Noir by Kajal makes an unexpected cameo as a powerhouse fragrance with beastly longevity, definitely not for the faint-hearted. And yes, we’re giving away a juicy bottle of Mefisto, so stick around!
hello, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the clone podcast I'm mike, I'm ryan.
Myke:We're two best friends. We're going on a fragrance journey, smelling fragrances from daveski one and giving you our uneducated opinion on it. You better believe it. Today is a big juicy bottle, big juicy bottle, a jersey, that's right, zirj off. 100 mil bottle of mephisto I think that's how it's pronounced. Yeah, you're gonna have to forgive us, but yeah, this bad boy's going out to a patreon. We're gonna announce that later here, in a little bit. Yes, we're not gonna announce it right now. I didn't plan on that. So you know, ryan, cut me off. Just know, ryan, I'm playing on it. Okay, I did plan on telling you what william corey on frank grantick has to say, though. Okay, this is how a purple colored wet wipe would smell. What? The violet is beautiful, but everything is overshadowed by the powder.
Ryan:Is there a purple colored wet wipe? What the fuck is that? I don't know. Hold on, I got to look that up. I got to see what the fuck. What was his name? Willem or something?
Myke:No, I think he's just saying that because violet, like the color violet, you know. That kind of makes me want to ask the question though Do you believe in? Like colors have a smell?
Ryan:I don't think I'm that person.
Myke:Now, you know, some people are like I'm smelling orange yeah, I don't.
Ryan:I don't know, dude, I don't know. I don't want to judge anybody, but I don't get that kind of uh, I mean, do I associate orange to smell like an orange? Yeah, because I used to have, you know, scented markers when I was a kid. Yeah, other than that, I don't. I don't think so. No, okay you think people really do, though, like do you believe that?
Myke:I think certain people think that I don't. I haven't been like you know. I mean, if we smell pine or you know coniferous type scents, yeah, I would go. Yeah, I understand why people will say this is like green, like herbal. Oh, this smells kind of green. I get that. I've never understood the blue fragrances, though.
Ryan:When they say blue, huh I do, it's I, I get it. I mean not in the sense of like colors and stuff, but I mean I get like fresh, clean out the shower vibe. I always kind of understand that you think that's why they call it blue. That's what I get, at least yeah, I just assumed, man.
Myke:Apparently I'm wrong in this. I just assume they call it blue, because blue is like the standard favorite color that most people have, so like a widely adopted fragrance would be like the equivalent if it isn't that, that's uh, that's honestly a pretty interesting take.
Ryan:that's, uh, a pretty interesting take. It's convoluted to me, but at the same time it's also kind of genius there. Are you too smart for your own good, maybe, so Are you an idiot savant?
Myke:It's like I wonder why I was going to college in the eighth grade.
Ryan:Just kidding guys.
Myke:Trust me, he's really kidding. Hey, I did take vocational college classes in high school, though that's cool, and in the state I was in, they would actually just have you go to the college. That's cool, yeah. So I was like sitting in college classes with college girls trying to be, you know, cool.
Ryan:I bet you were freaking stud muffin I was making mixed CDs for girls and stuff.
Myke:This one girl was kind of into me and then when she found out I was a high schooler, that kind of ruined it.
Ryan:I'm sorry, wow. Well, on to today's episode and not your pathetic love life from your high school days. Yeah, you know, before we get into this, though, we got to do a one night stand review of that beautiful fragrance. I should actually say that very strong but beautiful fragrance, yes. Lamar Noir by Kajal.
Myke:Hit the music Todd yeah, One night stand review.
Ryan:Yeah, yeah, laying in bed with Kajal hanging out, smelling that strong ass, leather, smoky, sweet undertone Rosie, yeah, as Lacey put it, dark and moody fragrance. What do you have to say about it?
Myke:You're getting your money's worth. If there's ever been a fragrance you are getting your money's worth out of, it's that one, because at one point it made me question whether or not I'd taken a shower and I had, but I was like it's still so strong on my hand. Yeah, I was like I did I shower I can't remember and then I remembered that I took a shower at night and in the morning and it was still on my hand. I could smell it for two days straight.
Ryan:He is not lying, it is strong. We actually had I hadn't even responded to it yet, sorry, dakota we actually had one of our listeners and Patreon write in going God, if it would only be two or three sprays for you, that thing's got to be crazy. And I'm telling you, I'm dead serious. It is. I say not for the faint of heart, not in a bad way, it's just like you better be prepared. It's fucking loud. You will get your money's worth if you want Beast Mode, if you want something that lasts forever and if you love how it smells you've got a winner.
Myke:Yeah, it's unmatched. I can't think of another fragrance other than Kajal 4 that is this loud, insanely loud, it's no bullshit.
Ryan:Kind of going back to when we skip it, sample it, buy it. It's still right now a hard sample to a possible buy because it smells really good. It's really unique. I get more when lacy was putting in my head like I do get this dark moody and I feel like to me that might lean more feminine.
Myke:I don't know yeah, I don't know, I think the name is perfect. It is perfect the noir name because it is that. You know that's. That's kind of funny, because lacy probably wasn't thinking film noir, yeah, but it is. When I think of film noir, god, this is perfectly named fragrance because I think of it's dark, right, it's typically black and white, it's smoky. There's always that femme fatale in it, right? Yeah, so it's like this lady that's luring in the freaking moron that's going to save the day. In quotation marks, this is, yeah, it's.
Myke:You know, they made a video for it where it's like the Lamar bottle. You know they made a video for it where it's like the Lamar bottle and then it's like being dipped into this like dark ocean of, like resin and tar, and it's just like engulfing it and swallowing it up. And that is the fragrance, like. The visualization of that is that it's this Lamar core that's been engulfed by the dark resins of like a smoky wood and leather. Oh yeah, it's wild man, it's a lot of fun. I'm really proud of that fragrance for them. I think it was just an incredible release and I am adamant about you. Guys really need to try it, you need to sample it, you need to see if it's something in your wheelhouse, because if it is, it's a hellacious fragrance at a good price. Because you're gonna, you'll probably have that bottle for forever.
Ryan:Yeah, I don't know if I'd ever run out of it. I'm being and that's crazy coming from me, yeah because you just you don't need a lot.
Myke:It is they've set the bar for what an intense fragrance should smell like badass all right, now let's get on to today's episode.
Ryan:I've been excited to smell this. I've already apologized, david, I'm sorry it took so long, sent you a little video, but we're getting to it and we told you somewhere along this episode we're going to announce the winner of this.
Myke:If you're not a patreon, go be a patreon right, yeah, you could have gotten this bottle plus a kajal decant. He's also going to get a Kajal decant in with the box of this. It's going to be a party, a huge party. It's going to feel like some special holiday occasion. Maybe it's Christmas, maybe it's top secret turkey, you never know. You're getting a gift in the mail you didn't even know you were going to get.
Ryan:Don't let us sit here and preach like we're freaking amazing, because this would not have happened if it was not for DaveSki1, who pretty much leaves a comment on every goddamn Spotify episode. He sent this. It wasn't his jam, he's not a Patreon, but he wanted somebody in the Patreon to be able to get this, and that's what we're going to do.
Myke:We're passing the savings on to you guys, and the cool thing is, sometimes we send these bottles out to Patreons and they go I got it, I received it, I wore it. It wasn't for me Post up in, you know first person to respond to this. I'm going to mail it to you my own expense and they just, they just keep passing on to the next, on to the next.
Ryan:Look, sharing the wealth. This is the very last thing I'm saying about the patreon. Say it, but that right there. This is why I'm going to preach it. The community, it's gotten big enough. It is so real full of some of the best people that I that we've ever met, and they do shit just like that yeah, you're not allowed to be a patron if you're a jerk there is some truth to that, actually.
Ryan:Thankfully, we haven't had to exercise that right. Okay, let's get into today's episode Zerjoff's Cosmoradi Mephisto let's fist it up. Yeah, let's Fuck.
Myke:That's a full presentation. By the way, Love the bottle it's the box. The bottle it's got.
Ryan:the tassel, it's got everything, by the way, before we spray this. What do you think it's gonna smell? Like just a blue fragrance it's because it's blue.
Myke:It's a blue bottle, but you know, our partner over at fragrantica seems to think it's a purple baby wipe. Does it smell like an aromatic barbershop fougere? Ooh, in the air it smells freaking amazing.
Ryan:It does smell amazing, and it reminds me of something that I've smelled before, something maybe from the 90s or so, I don't know.
Myke:Huh, I'd be shocked if this doesn't have tea in it, because it kind of reminds me of Wu Long Cha a little bit.
Ryan:Yeah, you know what's weird? I mean, thankfully you didn't say this or find somebody's review that said this, but so many people were saying Silver Mountain Water by Creed. Oh, that's right, I did read that. Do you get that shit? Because I don't get it.
Ryan:I couldn couldn't tell you what silver mountain water smells like. I don't remember smelling like this, yeah, but I did see a lot of people were saying this was a clone of that. Hmm, interesting, allegedly. I don't know how to explain this, other than it kind of reminds me if you took candies for men and, like I don't know, fucking gave it crack to smoke and so it's like running out of control, like somebody on pcp this is pretty crazy.
Myke:All right, I think we need to stop comparing it to other fragrances and just explain it.
Ryan:To me it smells like if fresh cut grass was eating a lime, I'd almost say like a fresh bell of hay is doing that. No, really, no, I, oh you know what? No, no, no, you. No, you're right, it's not quite there in the grass, but it's close, yeah.
Myke:I mean, grass is just a season of growth, away from being a ballet.
Ryan:I mean I'll say this I think it's that, I think it's a little subtle, Like maybe you took those fresh grass clippings and then you made a tea out of it.
Myke:Yeah, I would say that. Yeah, you get a. I think you take you know a handful of grass and you just squeeze a lime out on it, yeah, and then you just throw that in water and blend it up.
Ryan:I am so sorry guys. I really am. I just think about it. Sometimes People that listen to us come from channels and they're just like you know, the hoity-toity stuff it's out there. I am really liking this, though. I fucking love it. Wow, that is. It is not as bad as I feel, like all the comments made it.
Myke:Those negative reviews kind of had me wondering. But this is nice. There's almost like a minty sort of bite to it. I don't know if it's minty or if it feels kind of like the pine needle action in there.
Ryan:Actually, they don't smell that much different, apart from the tester strip and the skin. To me, yeah, I think you're right.
Myke:Maybe there's a little bit more on the tester strip that I can pick up.
Ryan:I think I can see where people kind of get a little annoyed with this a little bit Starting to hit me.
Myke:Well, but yeah, we're sniffing the hell out of it. If I sprayed this on, I wouldn't be like overwhelmed by it. It's nice, it's fresh, it's reminding me a little.
Ryan:I'm going to shut up. I'm going to stop. Why Let this seep?
Myke:Should we in future episodes? Should we come into the studio? Should we start an episode, spray it on and then should we just wear it for a while? Press pause on the recorder. Oh God, go out for a while Freaking. Do some one-arm push-ups with Jeremy Fragrance. Come back later.
Ryan:I don't know, but I'm starting to not like it. I see what it's doing. Okay, tell me, this little bitch was trying to be sneaky, uh-oh.
Myke:I see what it's doing. Nobody likes a sneaky bitch. I mean, it does still smell good.
Ryan:Okay, what's the problem? The problem is like there's this weird. It has to do with that kind of grassy smell, but it's like almost chemical and it's almost like I don't know what the word would be for but it's non-stop, it's so linear, and so my brain is already kind of halfway getting a headache from it I mean again, we're huffing the hell out of this thing.
Ryan:I know, but I huff the hell out of a lot of things and they don't do this. I mean, I'm being real as far as, like it's already quickly, there's a couple of fragrances like this the bottle of wool that you gave me from Commodity, commodity, that and there's another one kind of similar to that. They start to give me this headache because there's like this I don't know how to explain it. It's like this scent profile like pierces my like brain and it like just will not stop. I don't, it doesn't move, it's just there, and so it kind of gets nauseating and gives me a headache.
Ryan:I'm kind of surprised on that it's like part of me can't tell you that it does smell good, but there's this part of me that it is giving me a headache. So I'm I'm not liking that. I don't know. I'm dead seriously, seriously giving me a headache right now, but it doesn't smell bad. No, I like it. Like I tell you right now, I don't think the commodity wolf urine smelled good. I don't think it smelled good. No, no, it didn't. But this, this does smell good, but there's some something in that mix that's giving me a fucking headache. Maybe we should go over the notes. Let's see what's in it. Maybe there's something there that I've read before that just fucking strikes a chord with me.
Myke:This does smell familiar. Right, we've smelled something.
Ryan:I don't know what it is, but yeah. It's starting to smell a little cheap on my hand. Sorry, David, that you sent this. I'm saying that's cheap, but you didn't like it either?
Myke:Yeah, you didn't like it either.
Ryan:Buddy Top notes. I don't even know if I got this. Grapefruit, bergamot, amalfi, lemon, lavender, iris, rose. Those are the middle notes. Did you get any of those? You sense any of that? Not yet? Keep going.
Myke:Base notes are musk, sandalwood, virginia, cedar and amber. Okay, so I'm definitely whenever I was like, oh, it smells like pine needle type. Maybe that's the cedar in there.
Ryan:Ish yeah, yeah, I don't know other than that, though. I mean, I do get citrus. I think maybe it's the bergamot. I get what you're saying, the lime and grassy kind of sense on it, but it's, and it doesn't smell bad and it's nice and fresh. Yeah, yeah, it feels it's nice and fresh.
Myke:Yeah, yeah, it feels a little minty. Was there mint in there? No, there was no mint, but it does. Yeah, it does have a little minty vibe. It is, you know, grass, mint, lemon or lime Very sharp, very sharp, not a sweet citrus a sharp citrus Very yes.
Myke:I very. Yes, I don't think you mean bitter or anything either too. No, no, I just mean you know. You know the difference between a lemon and lime. Lemon has a little bit more, you know, sweetness to it. That lime, she sharp man, I still like it, I think it's fresh. But I gotta know what's the price and popularity on this bad boy.
Ryan:Well, I could not find a price on Zerjoff's thing, for I'm on their website right now. Let me just double check because I don't want to lie to anybody. God, I don't know what the fucking marketing is for this yeah that is strange it is. I'm not even going to lie to anybody, god, I don't know what the fucking marketing is for this. Yeah, that is strange, it is. I'm not even going to try to describe it it looks like if Marie Antoinette had a brother. I'm serious, you see. That's why I'm laughing.
Myke:Yeah, pretty dead on. And instead of being about some cake, he's about some Mephisto. Yeah.
Ryan:Pretty dead on, and instead of, you know, being about some cake, he's about some Mephisto. Yeah, what is this freaking? I don't know. Yeah, this is the weirdest shit. I don't, I don't fucking know.
Myke:Zerjoff, you're confusing me yeah, go home, you're drunk.
Ryan:By the way, we work in marketing, so holler at us.
Myke:Yeah, we wouldn't have set you up with Mark Antoinette or whatever.
Ryan:All right. So if I click on Zerjoff's website, though, has it been discontinued or something, because I can't even find it Okay here it is. So for 100 ml you're looking at about 270 pounds or euros, so that's about 300 bucks for 100 ml.
Myke:Yeah, it's not terrible, but I mean it's starting to get towards too hefty of a price tag For me. Already I feel like it is too hefty of a price tag For me already I feel like it is. I think we've kind of talked about that limit being 100 mil, about $275 to $300. That's kind of where I'm at. If you start pushing past that you got to really justify it you get over $400, it's just a solid no, yeah, I'm with you.
Ryan:Fragrance net. You can get it there. Yeah, gray market $182.
Myke:Okay, you know I like it. I'm really kind of digging this. This feels right in kind of my wheelhouse, oh dude this is right up your arsehole.
Ryan:I promise you, this does smell like something you would wear.
Myke:Yeah, it's like a soapy clean citrus.
Ryan:Yeah, and I didn't give you the popular. I'm going to give you that. And, by the way, this came out in 2009,. Apparently, 4.23 out of 5, 3,000 votes Pretty high, pretty high Popular. Some would say. Isn't that funny that the vote is popular, but a lot of the comments were negative. True, isn't that kind of weird, hmm.
Myke:I think just the negative souls out there are just louder. They got something to say. They want to say it. People who like it are just like I like this. It's typically how things roll in life, by the way People go. Yeah, I like that. The people who hate it are like let me stop you for a second, I've got things to say. Why don't you answer this, zerjoff, huh.
Ryan:If God doesn't exist, then tell me what? Yeah, um, I will say this god, I am dead serious, throbbing fucking headache right now. Really, I swear to god, and you think it's induced by this at 100 because I've had a similar scent profile. Do that, yeah, I think I think it's this dude, I really really do. I will say this the tester strip is actually doing a little rosemary thing for me. Oh, let me try to. God damn, he's like a fucking basset now. Oh yeah.
Myke:Just whiff that out really quick, do you kind of get a little rosemary? I mean, it's faint, it is. That is a stretch. Okay, it is a strong stretch.
Ryan:Okay, it's a strong stretch. Okay, who's wearing it? Real talk, who would wear this fragrance? Because I feel like it's a little.
Myke:I think it's a mature, clean citrus. I think it's 30s and up. Yeah, I'm with you. I think it's masculine, yeah, which is shocking because people were throwing a fit over the violet situation, and I feel like this is, and maybe I'm wrong in this, maybe I was thinking violet was supposed to be very floral, but I think, um, that and lavender show up in a lot of like the barbershoppy fougeres, as they say, which I guess is just another word for a barbershop type fragrance.
Ryan:You know, only thing I'll disagree with is that I don't think that this is masculine. I think it's pretty unisex. Really, I disagree, but ironically enough, this is just. This is not unisex, this is for men.
Myke:You're damn right, it is Ladies. You're not allowed to wear this. It's just for the boys.
Ryan:I want to read the pros and cons actually really quick. Oh, great, suitable for spring summer season, I agree. Absolutely Clean and fresh scent Thanks to bergamot, grapefruit, amalfi lemon. Yeah, I guess there you go. Thank you Italia. Refined and well blended. I don't know it's giving me a fucking headache. I don't know it's going to be a fucking headache. I don't know about that. Cons Higher price point compared to other Agreed. Similar to Creed Silver Mountain Water Disagree. Blind buying may not work well for everyone. Absolutely agree with that.
Myke:Well, that's every single fragrance ever by the way. You'll never hear us say unless it's a fragrance that we come out with at some point. You're never going to hear us say blind buy worthy you'd sell out huh for us.
Ryan:You'd say, oh, it's an absolute fucking buy, don't even sample.
Myke:Yeah, there's been a couple of times, but I would just say that we're so stingy with those that you could probably trust us like I would go like luna rosa, carbon blind, buy, absolutely. Yeah. So you find that for 70 bucks buy, you know, 150 mil. You're a fucking idiot if you don't that sort of thing. It's not that we'll never say it, but we would rarely. I mean rarely. Probably three times in 300 episodes will we ever say it.
Ryan:Yeah, I agree, someone's gonna know the stat on that and be like actually you said it seven times out of 305 episodes there's been some times, guys, that y'all have shocked me on what you know about our past episodes, because mike will tell you we make an episode, we're on to the next one, right?
Myke:it's hard to go back and think about some of these episodes it's crazy after 300 of them you know, at some point, we, we're going to have to like create a spreadsheet so we even know if we've done a fragrance or not. Yeah, because sometimes I'll be looking and I'll go did we smell this already? We'll have to like check the, you know, like the Spotify. Do we have an episode on this already? Because because, yeah, uh, are you gonna skip it, sample it or buy it? What are you gonna do, ryan?
Ryan:mike has perfected the deep voice thing.
Myke:Yeah, sometimes I wonder, is it like is this gonna be a competition? Yeah, who can get?
Ryan:lower.
Myke:Before you know it, it's like, yeah, we're in like Gregorian chants. It's our fucking like Fucking bird dance shit over here. Yeah, we'd be sounding like Count Orlok, what was that? What's the guy's name? That's Fratto. Well, yeah, but who played him? Skarsgård?
Ryan:Bill Skarsgård Bill.
Myke:Skarsgård. He like talks really deep, like this, the language of my forefathers yeah, guys, I have to put up with that all fucking day.
Ryan:And right now, my head. I'm literally having to rub my temples in a circular motion because my head is fucking throbbing.
Myke:You're like this. You're like the gas man over there. I'm like, uh, when you're the most annoying sound in the world. Exactly how do these guys know I got gas?
Ryan:free port bastards don't know that movie. I feel for you, yeah, yeah, I gotta stop smelling it. Um, wow, this is an easy fucking skip. Shocked Dude, I'm going to need fucking Excedrin, the Tylenol and Advil mix. Yeah, this shit's killing me.
Myke:I hit that Tylenol-Multrin combo every once in a while God damn, it's a skip.
Ryan:I can't even elaborate. It's a skip. It's giving me a massive fucking headache. It smells good. There's probably some people out there that like this Not my jam and the headache is fucking killing me, wow.
Myke:Shocked, appalled, by your answer, because I feel like this is a strong, strong sample for me. This is not the time of year for this fragrance. I don't believe, even here in Texas, where we're still getting 60, 70 degree days. Yeah, but I really like it. I want to take this bad boy to town and just see what he has to say.
Ryan:David, are you trying to fucking kill me with this fragrance? Come on, daveski, good Lord. No, I'm kidding Again. Thank you, david, for sending this. That was really nice of you, and one lucky Patreon is going to enjoy this.
Myke:Yeah, I mean mean, look, that's a very generous thing to do, absolutely, and you're not even a patreon, so you're not even, you know, securing chances to get a bottle in return.
Ryan:it's just off of his own kind heart, very kind individual, uh, so thank you, and let's go ahead and announce who the winner is. They're a patreon member. That's how we do things drum roll, please I'm going to tell mom, that's.

We've got people who are named Cryin' Ryan, sergeant Buttcheeks and, you know, jonathan Bleep and Andrew Bleep. Yeah, we got Bilbo's now. Yeah, you can be whoever you want to be. You know, this is like the metaverse.
Ryan:Speaking of that kind of thing, to tell you a quick story before we get out of here any of you guys out there listening to this show that play a game called Marvel Rivals oh, Ryan's obsessed with this game right now. I can't help it. I spend at least an hour a day on it. I'm trying to calm down my numbers here. Do you want to tell them your name? Yeah, I'm going to tell them. Okay, Because I play with Snazzy Snazzy's in Florida, but we link up on you guys stay connected.

Speaking of, you can just change your name to whatever. Yeah, I play is it's spelled like you h-u-g, h-u-g. Oh god, actually I can't say this because then I might get crazy people fucking messaging me non-stop.
Ryan:Oh, you can't, I can't fuck not that you guys are crazy, I'm just saying like I don't need to be on my playstation like get 100 messages a fucking an hour.
Myke:That's right, yeah, but maybe you can share it with the patreons, because it's a smaller group in there. Yeah, I may do that. You can't just pump it out to thousands of people.
Ryan:But it's a funny ass name and it's a nice play on words.
Myke:Yeah, ryan told me and I nearly threw up from laughing so hard. It's so childish, yeah.
Ryan:All right, that's today's episode. We're getting the hell out of here. We love you guys. Thank you again to Dave Ski One for sending this Seriously.

Ryan:And until next time, spray it up y'all.
