Xerjoff Groove Xcape is a Parfum launched in 2023, created by Karine Vinchon-Spehner. Groove Xcape opens with Pepper, Cardamom, Ginger, and Elemi, settles into a heart of Rose, Mimosa, Myrrh, and Incense, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Patchouli, Labdanum, and Benzoin. Xerjoff's Groove Xcape carries an Acquired verdict, a musk-led wear.

Groove Xcape is a divisive beast, a genuine love-it-or-hate-it scent from Xerjoff that bucks trends. It's a proper niche experience: unique, complex, and probably not for the faint-hearted or those seeking mass appeal. Forget the clubbing marketing; this is an olfactory art piece.

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.

Given its strong projection and exceptional longevity, Groove Xcape is a bit much for the office. It excels in cooler weather for dates or formal events where its unique character can shine, and its intense, resinous nature suits a more considered setting than everyday casual wear or sport.

About

Explosions of sharp ginger and black pepper hit first, clearing the air with potent, fresh spice. Soon, a hazy blend of myrrh and incense emerges, creating a smoky, resinous core. Understated rose and mimosa add a hint of softness before the deep, woody embrace of labdanum, cedar, and benzoin grounds it. Think smoky, balsamic woods with an edgy, spicy kick.
