Ormonde Jayne Xandria is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020. Xandria opens with Rosewood, Apple, and Rum, and settles into a heart of Cinnamon and Tonka Bean. Ormonde Jayne's Xandria carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one's a mixed bag, to be fair. Some consider it a bold, sweet, woody pleasure, whilst others accuse Ormonde Jayne of openly copying Xerjoff's Alexandria II. If you haven't smelt the 'original', you might find yourself delightfully surprised by this boozy, spicy treat.

About

Opens with a juicy, boozy hit of rum and crisp apple, quickly warmed by spicy cinnamon and creamy tonka bean. As it settles, a prominent woody core of oud and guaiac wood emerges, softened by a comforting amber and subtle musky earthiness. It's a rich, complex scent that dances between sweetness and deep wood.
