Xerjoff JTC 400 is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018, created by Karine Vinchon-Spehner. JTC 400 opens with Bergamot, Bitter Orange, Mandarin, and Honey, settles into a heart of White Tobacco, Orange Blossom, Rose, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Vetiver, Patchouli, and Vanilla. Xerjoff's JTC 400 carries an Acquired verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it beast. Xerjoff 400 sparks a fierce debate: a honeyed white floral powerhouse for some, a cloying, old-fashioned scrubber for others. Definitely try before you buy, unless you're feeling adventurous.

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.

Its exceptional longevity and beast-mode sillage make it too overpowering for the office, risking offence rather than allure. It truly shines on special occasions, particularly date nights and formal events, where its luxurious and attention-grabbing nature can be fully appreciated.

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.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bitter orange peel Citrus Aurantium Amara Peel Oil from Bitter Orange
  • Vanillin from Vanilla
  • Ylang-ylang Cananga Odorata Flower Extract from Ylang-Ylang

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

JTC 400 opens with a luscious, bright citrus burst- orange, mandarin, and bergamot- quickly softened by a thick, golden river of honey. The heart blooms with intoxicating white florals like orange blossom and ylang-ylang, given an unexpected edge by tobacco and a hint of rose. It dries down to a rich, warm base of vanilla, earthy patchouli, and grounding cedar, making it creamy and opulent.
