Xerjoff Pikovaya Dama is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018, created by Chris Maurice. Pikovaya Dama opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Neroli, and Rose, settles into a heart of Cedar, Iris, Nutmeg, and Coriander, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, Patchouli, and Vanilla. Xerjoff's Pikovaya Dama carries an Acquired verdict, a powdery-led wear.

Pikovaya Dama is a proper polariser; a masterclass in aldehydic elegance for some, a vintage, soapy nightmare for others. Expect strong reactions, but never indifference from this high-performance beast.

About

This scent opens with a luminous, fizzy burst of aldehydes and bright citrus, given depth by a delicate, powdery rose and neroli. As it settles, iris comes to the fore, wrapped in warm cedar and a whisper of spicy nutmeg and frankincense. The base is an enduring blend of creamy sandalwood, patchouli, and clean musk with a touch of vanilla, evoking luxurious soap and a sense of pristine calm.
