Ouverture Xerjoff, introduced to the world in 2019, sits firmly in the category of a unisex fragrance, drawing from the east and floral families. The fragrance belongs to the spicy, green, and ambery groups. The palette of this fragrance is exceptionally rich: traces of wood, musk, floral, gourmet, citrus, and whiteflower can also be found — a rare combination that makes this perfume truly one of a kind. Part of the Velvet collection, available as eau de parfum.
Italy is where this fragrance comes from — and it shows. A rich, layered composition that reveals itself differently depending on your mood and the time of day.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Perfumes for the fall and winter seasons often contain notes of vanilla, spices, ambergris, wood, and other warm accords, creating a feeling of comfort and warmth during the cold months
The olfactory structure of Ouverture is built as a layered story, where notes flow smoothly and sequentially. The style of Xerjoff is clear from the opening to the final trail. Nothing here feels random, and the composition keeps a clear direction. Eau de parfum emphasizes a balanced rhythm of unfolding.
The accord profile is built around these accords: Balsamic, Citrus, Floral and Musc without random overlap. Background accords such as Wood, Amber and Spicy add depth to the backdrop. The gender direction is unisex, which makes the scent profile easier to read.
Right at the start you meet grassy-green opening notes: Fig Leaf, Magnolia and Orange.
In the heart you detect Cinnamon, Jasmine, Rose and ylang-ylang carrying a creamy tuberose direction.
From the group perspective the composition is built around Ambery, Citrus, Floral and Gourmet. The framework further includes Green, Musk, Spicy and Whiteflower. Within olfactory families the scent maps to East and Floral.
Overall Ouverture sounds complete from start to finish — the start forms character, the central phase adds depth, and the base secures the trail. These are the scent structures best understood through real development.
