About This Perfume
Think velvety rose perfume with oud musk: that is Xerjoff Black Sukar. It opens with freesia, orange and pink pepper, moves into peony and damask rose and settles on Laotian oud, white musk and vanilla. It reads unisex.
This fragrance works across all four seasons and is a daytime scent. It suits date nights. Released in 2012.
Wearers report that it lasts through a full day, and projects strongly and fills a room. Wearers suggest letting a new bottle rest for a couple of weeks; it tends to smooth out.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something floral and sweet for date nights.
- Sample first if: you prefer quiet scents; it projects.
- Skip if: you dislike animal fragrances.
Around $409.

The Scendira catalogue lists 212 Xerjoff fragrances, with 118 currently in stock.
