Xerjoff Ivory Route is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2012. Ivory Route opens with Allspice and Basil, settles into a heart of Spicy Notes, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood and Patchouli. Xerjoff's Ivory Route carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

Ivory Route is a complex, enigmatic Xerjoff that some reviewers adore for its smooth blend of spices, woods, and unexpected sweetness, while others find it too masculine, medicinal, or simply not their cup of tea. Definitely sample before you buy.

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.

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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

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

Ivory Route opens with a potent blast of warm, fresh spices, particularly allspice and an almost peppery basil. This invigorating kick soon mellows, ushering in a heart of rich, creamy sandalwood and earthy patchouli. Hints of balsamic resins and a mysterious, unlisted sweetness (often perceived as vanilla) weave through the dry-down, grounding the spicy-woody complexity in a smooth, somewhat powdery finish.
