Save Me
by Xerjoff
Xerjoff Save Me is a soft, abstract bouquet of white and yellow florals with chamomile, jasmine, gardenia, tuberose, and ylang-ylang forming a layered, powdery-sweet base. The opening features a subtle peppery chamomile note, leading into a lush heart of bright, slightly green floralcy. Sandalwood and musk add warmth and stability, giving the fragrance a gentle, luminous presence that lingers moderately throughout the day. It evokes nostalgic memories of gardens and grandmotherly affection—some find it deeply emotional, recalling personal connections, while others perceive it as outdated or reminiscent of aged floral perfumes, particularly those associated with past decades. The scent is well-blended, with no harshness or screechiness, and it leans feminine in character despite being marketed as unisex. Its performance is above average, with a moderate sillage and noticeable longevity, making it effective in spring and summer, especially during elegant daytime or quiet evening wear.
