Xerjoff P. 13 in the Sketchbook Collection
Xerjoff P. 13 is a unisex fragrance from 2025, presented in eau de parfum concentration, or as a perfume extract.
The composition belongs to the oriental and floral families, combining expressive florality, spicy nuances, soft balsamic facets and warm woody depth.
This release is created for those who value not bold declarations, but a subtle, artistic interpretation of fragrance.
The perfume was released by the Italian house Xerjoff, known for its attention to the quality of raw materials, striking bottle designs and ambition to turn perfumery into true art. P.
13 continues this aesthetic within the Sketchbook Collection — a collection in which each fragrance is perceived as an independent sketch with its own mood and character.
The composition was created by Sergio Momo, the brand’s founder, owner and creative director. His involvement is particularly important for understanding P.
13: the fragrance feels like a personal statement in which decorative florality is balanced by mossy, tobacco and balsamic nuances.
As a result, the release sounds elegant, vintage-inspired and thoroughly contemporary at the same time.
The fragrance’s character and development
Getting to know P. 13 begins with a cool, subtly luminous accord in which bergamot refreshes the composition, while rose and violet add a soft powdery-floral touch.
The opening does not feel sharp; instead, it creates a neat, airy introduction and gradually leads into a richer heart.
Carnation, jasmine, orange blossom and tuberose unfold at the centre of the composition.
The floral accord here is not limited to tenderness: spicy carnation gives it definition, white flowers lend creamy expressiveness, while rose supports its noble, classic line.
Thanks to this combination, P. 13 may appeal to lovers of complex floral compositions that never turn into an overly sweet bouquet.
In the base, the fragrance becomes warmer and deeper.
Oakmoss adds a dry, earthy-mossy shadow, Peruvian balsam brings resinous softness, tobacco introduces a light dry-leaf nuance, and vanilla rounds out the scent with delicate gourmand warmth.
The finish leaves a restrained, comforting impression and beautifully supports the fragrance’s overall elegance.
Who P. 13 is for and when to wear it
P. 13 is positioned as a unisex fragrance, so its character is revealed not through gender stereotypes, but through the individual response of the skin and the style chosen.
It may look especially harmonious with outfits featuring vintage details, precise tailoring, understated textures and carefully considered accessories.
This is a perfume for those who like a fragrance to remain a personal accent rather than fill the entire space.
The sillage is subtle, making P. 13 suitable for the office, intimate gatherings, walks and situations where an unobtrusive, close-to-the-skin presence is important.
One or two sprays are enough for the skin, and the same amount can be applied to clothing.
The fragrance is particularly beautiful in cool weather and the transitional seasons, although its moderate intensity also makes it suitable for wearing indoors throughout the year.
What to compare this fragrance with
In terms of overall mood, P. 13 can be considered alongside Salvador Dali Dali Parfum de Toilette, Jil Sander Jil Sander No 4 and Houbigant Quelques Fleurs l'Original.
These fragrances share an interest in floral classics and an expressive character, yet P.
13 stands out through its combination of tuberose and jasmine with oakmoss, tobacco, vanilla and Peruvian balsam.
It will therefore be especially appealing to those looking for a floral perfume with oriental depth and a soft sillage.
