Xerjoff Richwood

In the rarified air of high-end perfumery, few names command the reverence of Xerjoffβs XJ 17/17 collection. Among these, Richwood stands as a monolithβa breathtaking ode to the vanishing gold of the fragrance world: authentic Mysore sandalwood. It is not merely a perfume; it is an olfactory archive of the finest woods, curated for those who demand nothing short of perfection.
From the moment the atomizer whispers, one is transported to an ancient forest where the air is thick with resin and history. Richwood captures the ephemeral beauty of creamy, buttery woodiness, elevated by a sophisticated heart that refuses to yield to convention. It is a scent that defines the 'quiet luxury' aesthetic, speaking volumes without ever needing to raise its voice.
The Nose Behind the Scent
Xerjoff's in-house creative direction, led by founder Sergio Momo, is responsible for the masterful composition of Richwood, emphasizing an uncompromising selection of rare raw materials and intricate blending.
