Xerjoff 2012 EDP
Shunkoin
Xerjoff Shunkoin is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2012, created by Jacques Flori. Shunkoin settles into a heart of Cherry Blossom, Powdery, Iris, and Frankincense, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes, Sandalwood, and Vanilla. Xerjoff's Shunkoin carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.
This is Xerjoff's divisive powder bomb, a luxurious vanilla-coconut cream pie for some, a dusty thrift shop or aggressive Play-Doh for others. It’s certainly a unique experience, just remember to sample it first - especially if you’re prone to blind buying.What our verdicts mean →

Profile
Composition
Timeline
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.

Best Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Best Occasions
Given its strong projection and longevity, Shunkoin is best suited for social settings like dates or casual outings where its unique character can be appreciated. It might be a bit much for a formal office environment, but its intimate sillage makes it suitable for special events. It’s definitely not for sport.
