Zaharoff Signature Royale X is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2021, created by Claude Dir. Signature Royale X opens with Citrus, Bergamot, Lavender, and Cardamom, settles into a heart of Allspice, Juniper, and Cedar Needle, and dries down to a base of Musk, Leather, Sandalwood, and Vetiver. Zaharoff's Signature Royale X carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one's a proper head-scratcher. Some reckon it's a dirty jockstrap, others smell clean sophistication. It's divisive, alluring, and definitely not for a blind buy.

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 Summer Fall Winter

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its moderate sillage makes it acceptable for the office, while its unique 'clean-dirty' and sensual dry down makes it perfect for dates. The longer-lasting nature means it can carry through a formal evening, but its intensity might be a bit much for casual or active wear.

About

It kicks off with a bright, zesty hit of citrus and bergamot, softened by a touch of lavender and a spicy pop of cardamom. As it settles, a clean, almost soapy musk emerges, woven through with the green spice of juniper and the sharp, fresh scent of cedar. The dry down is where things get interesting, blending the musky clean notes with a deeper, slightly animalic warmth from leather and oud, grounded by earthy vetiver and patchouli, creating a complex 'clean-dirty' vibe.
