Xerjoff Richwood Eau de Parfum

The Xerjoff Richwood Eau de Parfum draws inspiration from a sacred sandalwood Buddha statue discovered in Southeast Asia, translating its creamy warmth into a luxurious woody chypre. Part of the 17/17 Stone Label collection, it evokes ancient rituals and jungle serenity through ripe citrus and earthy depth. Within a curated selection, it stands as a preserved artifact of oriental woodcraft, blending tradition with modern refinement.

The opening sparkles with tangerine, bergamot and grapefruit, laced with blackcurrant buds for tart juiciness that cuts through the richness ahead. This citrus accord feels sun-warmed and generous, suggesting ripe fruit and temple air, providing bright lift without overpowering the woody core. The structure balances vibrancy with promise of substance from first impression.

In the heart, damask rose absolute and geranium leaves introduce floral elegance with green, leafy bite, sometimes joined by iris for powdery nuance. Rose adds opulent softness, geranium crisp herbal edge, creating a bridge that tempers citrus brightness into sophisticated warmth. This phase unfolds like vintage wine, revealing layered complexity on skin.

The base centers on Mysore sandalwood, patchouli, vanilla, labdanum, musk and amber coumarin, delivering smoky, creamy woods with resinous earthiness. Sandalwood dominates with buttery purity, patchouli spicy depth, vanilla sweet comfort, forming a trail of timeless serenity. Longevity excels with intimate sillage, suited to contemplative evenings or layered luxury.
