About This Perfume
Think sun-warmed fig leaves, floral rose, sweet vanilla smoke: that is Xerjoff Ouverture. It opens with fig leaf, orange and magnolia, moves into cinnamon, ylang-ylang and Indian jasmine and settles on sandalwood, amber and vanilla. It leans feminine, though anyone can wear it.
It is best in spring, fall and winter and is an evening scent. It suits casual days. Released in 2019.
Wearers report that it lasts well into the evening, and projects to about arm's length. 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 woody and warm for casual days.
- Sample first if: woody is new territory for you.
- Skip if: you dislike amber fragrances.
Around $216.
