Xerjoff Shooting Stars Uden EDP
Description
Xerjoff Shooting Stars Uden EDP is one of the founding members of Xerjoff's celebrated Shooting Stars collection, first released in 2009, a series historically paired with a certified meteorite fragment in every box, a signature flourish of the house's love for rare, once-in-a-lifetime materials. Uden opens on tart lemon and grapefruit, moves into an unusual rum-coffee-rose heart, and settles into a plush base of vanilla, musk, ambergris, and coffee. It's a warm, boozy-gourmand fragrance with just enough citrus and wood to keep it from tipping into dessert territory: distinctive, a little eccentric, and thoroughly Xerjoff.
