Xerjoff Starlight is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019, created by Soizic Beaucourt. Starlight opens with Bergamot and Cardamom, settles into a heart of Cinnamon, Clove, and Almond, and dries down to a base of Amber and Cedar. Xerjoff's Starlight carries a Statement verdict, a spicy-led wear.

Xerjoff Starlight is a luxurious cardamom bomb - polarising for some, but a masterpiece for spicy fragrance lovers. It's an intoxicating journey from fresh zest to warm, comforting embrace, though some find it a bit too festive or a touch too linear for the price point. Definitely try 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.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bitter almond Benzaldehyde from Almond
  • Clove Eugenia Caryophyllus Flower Oil from Clove

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

Starlight opens with a bright, zesty burst of bergamot, quickly followed by an explosion of fresh, aromatic cardamom. As it settles, warm cinnamon and clove emerge, weaving through a creamy almond heart, adding a gourmand sweetness. The dry down is a sophisticated blend of soft amber and cedar, creating a cosy, enduring warmth that lingers like a starlit winter's night.
