Xerjoff Wabar is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2013, created by Chris Maurice. Wabar opens with Bergamot and Star Anise, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Magnolia, and Lily of the Valley, and dries down to a base of Musk, Vetiver, and Vanilla. Xerjoff's Wabar carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

Divisive and bold, Wabar is either a luxurious, velvety vanilla dream or a screechy, artificial mess. There's no middle ground with this one; you'll either adore its opulent floral sweetness or find it utterly unwearable.

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.

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual Formal

Given its long-lasting nature and strong projection mentioned in reviews, Wabar might be a bit much for a formal office setting. However, its opulent and somewhat mature character makes it an excellent choice for dates and formal events, and it's versatile enough for casual evening wear.

About

Wabar opens with a surprising zing of bergamot brightened by the exotic, spicy nuances of star anise. This lively introduction soon softens into a rich, heady floral heart where jasmine, magnolia, and lily of the valley intertwine, creating a lush, somewhat powdery bouquet. The drydown settles into a comforting, smooth base of warm vanilla and musky undertones, balanced by the earthy, grounding touch of vetiver. It's a complex journey from bright spice to creamy floral, finishing with a deep, enveloping warmth.
