Xerjoff Aurum is a Parfum launched in 2023, created by Chris Maurice. Aurum opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Orange, and Rose, and settles into a heart of Dark Chocolate, Labdanum, Incense, and Strawberry. Xerjoff's Aurum carries an Acquired verdict, a fresh-led wear.

A divisive blend, Aurum swings between a luxurious rose-oud and a saccharine gourmand. Some love the opulent sweetness, others find it too rosy, even cloying. Best for those who enjoy a statement scent with powerful, long-lasting presence.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Given its strong projection and exceptional longevity, Aurum is best suited for evening wear or special occasions where it can truly shine without overwhelming. Its rich, sensual character makes it a superb choice for dates or formal events, but it's generally too imposing for an office environment or casual daytime use.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon
  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Aurum opens with a vibrant citrus burst, quickly giving way to a dominant, rich rose. This floral heart is entangled with dark chocolate and succulent strawberry, tempered by warm, balsamic labdanum and smoky incense. The dry down reveals a subtle oud and creamy vanilla, creating a sophisticated and enduring aroma.
