Our Verdict - Valley Of The Kings Extrait
If Xerjoff Richwood had a savvy, street-smart sibling, this would be it. 'Valley Of The Kings' is an opulent, attention-grabbing patchouli and sandalwood experience, but be mindful of the trigger. It projects luxury, making you feel a bit underdressed in your lounge pants.

Season and Occasion Fit

Richwood

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

Richwood's opulent sandalwood, patchouli and vanilla make it best suited for cooler temperatures, excelling in fall and winter when its richness and warmth blossom. The touch of citrus and rose allows some versatility in spring, but it is too heavy for most summer wear.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its bold projection and luxurious profile make Richwood ideal for formal events and special dates, while its richness might overwhelm in casual or office settings. Far too opulent for sporty occasions.

Valley Of The Kings

Seasons

Spring Autumn Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

This is a statement fragrance with good longevity and average projection, making it too opulent for casual wear or the office. Its rich, classy character is better suited for special occasions, formal events, and dates where you want to make a lasting impression.
