Xerjoff Damarose is a Parfum launched in 2010. Damarose opens with Red Berries, Bergamot, Lime, and Freesia, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Iris, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Sandalwood, and Vetiver. Xerjoff's Damarose carries an Acquired verdict, a rose-led wear.

This is a seriously polarising rose. For some, it's the undisputed Queen of Roses- regal, sophisticated and captivating. For others, it's just a 'nice', overpriced floral reminiscent of supermarket shampoo or baby wipes with truly disappointing performance. Proceed with caution.

About

Damarose opens with a bright, refreshing burst of red berries and bergamot, zesty and uplifting, before quickly transitioning into its floral heart. A dominant, fresh Turkish rose takes centre stage, softened and enriched by powdery iris, creamy ylang-ylang, and delicate lily of the valley. The base settles into a sophisticated blend of earthy vetiver, warm woods like sandalwood and rosewood, and a comforting touch of musk, amber, and vanilla, creating a soft, elegant finish.
