Xerjoff 1888 is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2013, created by Karine Vinchon-Spehner and Michèle Saramito. 1888 opens with Carnation, Pepper, Saffron, and Coriander, settles into a heart of Neroli, Rose, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Amber, Sandalwood, Patchouli, and Birch. Xerjoff's 1888 carries an Acquired verdict, a warm spicy-led wear.

This one's a proper spicy amber floral that splits the room; some swear by its classic elegance, others find it too 'old-school' or 'medicinal'. Definitely not for everyone, so sample first.

About

Opens with a potent kick of pepper, saffron, and fiery carnation, leading into a creamy heart of ylang-ylang and neroli. The dry down is a rich, warm blend of amber, sandalwood, and patchouli, with a hint of birch giving it an intriguing woody depth, sometimes reminiscent of root beer or cola.
