Richwood Perfume Extract
Fragrance notes
Character
Richwood Perfume Extract is a study in contrast that works because it refuses to choose a side. The opening rush of tangerine and grapefruit is sharp and bright, but it does not stay light for long. Xerjoff pushes this citrus into a deep, resinous base where sandalwood and labdanum take over. The result is a scent that feels like polished wood in a sunlit room. It is composed by Chris Maurice, and the blend speaks to a specific kind of luxury that is heavy rather than airy.
The heart of damask rose sits between the fruit and the earth. It is not a fresh-cut flower, but a powdered petal dusted over black currant. This fruitiness is dark and slightly tart, bridging the gap to the patchouli and vanilla below. The musk and amber accords give the entire composition a warm, balsamic texture that feels expensive on the skin. It suits someone who wants a rose that does not act like a traditional floral, preferring a woody chypre structure that feels grounded and mature.
This is a fragrance for the person who finds most citrus scents too thin and most woods too dry. The vanilla here is not a dessert note; it is a creamy support for the resin, making the sandalwood feel smooth rather than dusty. It fits a formal evening or a cool day when you want to feel enclosed by your clothing and your scent. The powdery aspect keeps it from becoming too aggressive, softening the spice into something that feels personal and intentionally crafted for a specific wardrobe
