Xerjoff Richwood EDP
Description
Richwood Eau de Parfum comes from Xerjoff's XJ 17/17 Collection, the range where the Turin-based maison pairs rare, museum-grade raw materials with jewel-toned flacons. Composed by perfumer Chris Maurice, it opens as a bright woody chypre: a citrus rush of bergamot, blackcurrant bud, and mandarin over a heart of Damask rose and geranium leaf, before settling into a dense, sweet-resinous base of patchouli, sandalwood, vanilla, and labdanum. The result reads as polished and grown-up: sweeter and richer than a typical chypre, with the boutique-tier ingredient quality Xerjoff is known for.
