Xerjoff Richwood

Opens with a sharp, resinous oud that leans dry rather than barnyard, cut immediately by cedar that keeps the whole thing from turning murky. The heart settles into a leather-and-sandalwood core — smooth but with real weight, amber adding a slow warmth underneath. Projection is moderate and deliberate; this doesn't announce itself across a room, but the sillage lingers close and rich for hours. The dry-down is almost purely musk and amber, quietly luxurious — A cold-weather fragrance for someone who wants depth without spectacle.
