by Xerjoff
Fars from Xerjoff is a deeply aromatic, woody fragrance with strong powdered and herbal qualities, setting it apart as a refined yet earthy fougère with a distinctly Persian inspiration. It opens with a crisp, slightly boozy freshness from bergamot, juniper, and lavender, followed by a prominent geranium and jasmine heart. While some may perceive it as more of a woody green barbershop scent than a true oud aroma, it develops into a soft, powdery, and balanced drydown enriched with sandalwood, ambergris, patchouli, and a hint of spicy cypriol. The fragrance carries strong projection—moderate to strong sillage—and delivers exceptional longevity, lasting well beyond 8 hours even on dry skin. It takes on a mature, confident profile best suited for evening wear in cool climates, particularly in autumn and winter. Though labeled as part of the Oud Star collection, the oud presence is subtle and more olfactory illusion than literal, making it more of a signature aromatic scent than a bold oud concentration.
