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 fresh-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.

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 potent projection and luxurious, formal leaning accords make it less ideal for the office or casual wear. However, its elegance and 'special occasion' vibe, frequently mentioned by reviewers, suit formal events and romantic dates perfectly.

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.
