Xerjoff Holysm is a Parfum launched in 2023. Holysm opens with Cade, Clary Sage, Thyme, and Fir Resin, settles into a heart of Caraway, Cedar, Tobacco, and Labdanum, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Oud, and Patchouli. Xerjoff's Holysm carries an Acquired verdict, an aromatic-led wear.

This one is a love-it-or-hate-it affair, a challenging and artistic masterpiece for those who dare. It commands attention rather than asking for it, polarising opinions with its bold, dark green character. Not for the faint of heart, but utterly captivating for the right connoisseur.

About

Holysm opens with a powerful aromatic blast of clary sage and fir resin, underpinned by the sharp, almost medicinal kick of cade and thyme. The heart unfolds into a dry, spicy blend of caraway, cedar, and a refined tobacco accord, lending a sophisticated edge. The drydown settles into a rich, earthy base of oud, smooth sandalwood, and deep patchouli, creating a meditative and noble aura.
