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 amber-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.

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.
