Xerjoff XXY is a Parfum launched in 2008, created by Jacques Flori. XXY opens with Bergamot, Grapefruit, and Peach, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Iris, Ylang-Ylang, and Pepper, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, Vetiver, and Patchouli. Xerjoff's XXY carries a Statement verdict, a fruity-led wear.

This one's a divisive drop: some hail it as a luxurious, high-quality iris masterpiece, while others dismiss it as overpriced and underperforming. Expect a sophisticated, somewhat distant comfort, but don't expect it to project across the room.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall
Also Works:
Summer

Built for the cooler edges of the year - spring and autumn pair best.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Office Casual

Its subdued projection makes it suitable for office wear, though it really shines in formal or intimate date settings. The sophisticated, warm character is ill-suited for casual or sporty occasions.

About

XXY opens with a sweet, tangy burst of peach and grapefruit, quickly settling into a powdery, almost cosmetic iris heart. Hints of jasmine and a subtle spice from pepper weave through, while a warm, woody base of patchouli, sandalwood, and vetiver grounds the composition, softened by vanilla and musk. It’s a complex, elegant dance between fruit, powder, and earth.
