Smell of wealth

One of the most luxurious scents in the world of perfumery and Xerjoff in particular.

The scent of a rich person, a complex, high-quality, and relatively adult scent.

I believe that not everyone would understand and appreciate the complexity of this perfume.

This is a scent that stays close to your skin, but for the better in this case.
It's a perfume that doesn't have to shout 'I'm here'.
It does the job when people close to you smell you up close.
I wore it on a date and the woman just complimented me on it.

As far as I'm concerned, it's one of the best that Xerjoff has to offer.

In my opinion, for people in the perfumery field, this perfume is a must-have, and for those who are just entering the world, I recommend trying it first.

9/10.

Irritatingly sweet ...

I recently received samples of Richwood and Damarose and have given both a quick test, but today is the turn of Richwood to be reviewed. Looking at the note pyramid this should be 'love at first sniff' for me ... but sadly it's not. There is something so irritatingly sweet about this creation (I'll warrant it's the damn Blackcurrant!!) that completely turns me off ... and it's EXORBITANT asking price of course.

Firstly, I'm becoming less and less keen for fruit in my fragrances, probably due to the vile cornucopia of celebrity 'fruity florals' that have hit the market in the last few years. Yes, I know I don't have to smell them ... but I do on the off chance that someone has had the balls to do something exciting (thanks Madonna!!) that doesn't cause immediate olfactory toothache.
The opening of Richwood is hampered by just such a candy-like fruit laden effect ... with some floor polish thrown in for good measure. If this were fleeting it would be OK ... but it lingers inscrutably for most of the duration of this frag (which is not exactly stellar to begin with!) while the good stuff battles to make an appearance. By 'good stuff' I mean Sandalwood, Rose (which seems stunted here) and Labdanum, which I really love. The 'blurb' on the official site gushes about the 'genuine' Mysore Sandalwood contained in this frag ... if only it was allowed to shine it would be truly beautiful. Instead, it is coated in sugary, gelatinous berries ... like so much jam from Grandma's kitchen!!
In my travels I have had the opportunity more than once of acquiring Xerjoff frags. I decline because the price tags (500 Euro for 100mls of Richwood) are just obscene. These fragrances are quite obviously made with a decidedly 'nouveau riche' market in mind.

There are better renditions of this genre out there that do not require the sale of a kidney and a lung! This fragrance is not fantastic, it is just OK ... but that, of course, is simply my humble opinion.

One of the best Sandalwood, creamy and polished

Richwood is a woody chypre unisex perfume but not in a traditional Chypre way imo. I don't understand this modern way to call perfumes as Chypre if there is not Oakmoss but Patchouli instead. There is a little bit citrusy in the opening but it’s gone quickly and the middle notes seems to be hidden. This is a rich and creamy soft musky Sandalwood scent with a Patchouli bringing even more woody edge and a slightly sweet Vanilla wraps the other notes together.

The name Richwood is well deserved. The blend is really well done, it’s quite much a skin scent but it works well in this scent and it lasts many hours. For some occasions it’s a little a bit too boring since it’s quite linear perfume without any surprises from the opening until the last hints of the scent. But in the same time I find it really beautiful, sophisticated and luxurious with irresistible sensual undertone. It’s easy to approach and very wearable in the places where you don’t want to bother people with too load and strongly projecting scent. It’s very pleasant and calming which is the reason why it has became my favorite scent during a flights especially in the autumn and winter time.

️ There is not Sandalwood listed in the notes anymore but Xerjoff has confirmed that it’s not removed nor reformulated they just wanted to change the list of the notes. I really wonder why since the Sandalwood plays a major role in this inviting blend (at least my batch) of Chris Maurice. Difficult to believe it’s not reformulated.

Top: Mandarine Peel, Grapefruit, Bergamot, Bourgeons Cassis
Middle: Rose Absolute, Geranium Leaves
Base: Patchouli, Musks, Cistus Labdanum, Amber Coumarin, Vanilla, Sandalwood (not mentioned anymore)

Fruity amber crossbreed

Richwood appears to me as some sort of fusion recipe. The top notes of citrus and berries are blended into a fruit salad accord. It is long-lasting and feels fresh to sharp. At the same time we have a warm base that is placed somewhere between an amber and a chypre accord. Labdanum and patchouli clearly outperform the sandalwood here.

The contrast between that fruity top and the warm base is what characterizes this perfume, I think. I would not call it imbalanced, but surely it is not the easiest to like. Funnily there is also a vintage feel that reminds me of golden oldie Dioressence Eau de Toilette , which can be considered an oriental-chypre hybrid with fruity tendencies. Previously I did enjoy this retro vibe, but I have grown out of it a while ago. Pass.

A middle aged professional. In the best way.

Of all the fragrances I own, the phrase „it’s better on skin“ has never applied so truthfully. On paper this is a rather flaccid scent, it honestly needs the warmth of living flesh to really open this fragrance up. On paper you will find a powdered rose, with a sawdust (from the sandalwood and patchouli I think) like finish. Definitely not worth the hype or the price.

On skin, however! Oh my. This gives class, a frosty demeanour, and a core that is enchanting and delicious. The play between the iris and the blaxkcurrent in the mid of this fragrance is actually masterful, to my nose. I adore iris, it’s refined delicacy and induced melancholy resonate with me deeply; while blackcurrant offers a sharp sour juiciness, that takes the rose on a jammy journey, whilst still wearing the powdery cloak of the iris.

The soft green woodiness of the sandal and patchouli come in around 45 mins into wearing, with the labdanum offering a mature grounding depth to this composition. It’s a lovely summer night at the orchestra with a lover, enchanting and refined, seductive yet virginal. Something about berries and citrus gives me such an innocent vibe, prim vibe. Clean, yet sweet.

Anyway, as much I love this fragrance, at £500 for 100ml it is very expensive. The longevity is brilliant and the sillage is good for the first 2/3 hours, after which either I can’t smell it without holding my nose to my arm or the scent bubble contracts considerably. Now, this is not a bad thing - for a scent like this can easily become over powering, and goodness! do NOT overspray. I will probably settle for just a decant of this fragrance…. But I’m in no rush to acquire it.
