Xerjoff Elixir Perfume Extrait is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2023, created by Chris Maurice. Elixir Perfume Extrait opens with Rose and Copaiba Balm, settles into a heart of Cypriol Oil or Nagarmotha, Cade, and Labdanum, and dries down to a base of Balsam, Amber, and Oud. Xerjoff's Elixir Perfume Extrait carries an Acquired verdict, a musk-led wear.

This one is a proper love-it-or-hate-it oud beast. If you're a devout fan of strong, animalic oud with a touch of sweetness and rose, you'll adore it; otherwise, prepare for a challenging opening.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter
Also Works:
Spring

Built on woody, amber and oud - a composition that sits best in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its powerful projection and intense oud focus, this is best reserved for evening events where it won't overwhelm. It's too bold for casual wear or the office, but it certainly has the gravitas for a formal occasion or a special date night.

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.

  • Geraniol from Rose

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

Elixir kicks off with an unapologetic blast of rose-tinged oud, quickly settling into an intense, woody-amber heart. Laotian oud dominates, supported by the resinous depth of labdanum and copaiba balm. As it dries, a rich tapestry of gurjan balsam and amber emerges, softening the edges of the persistent, slightly animalic oud, leaving a sophisticated, long-lasting aroma.
