1888 Perfume by Xerjoff, First launched in 2013, 1888 by Italian luxury brand Xerjoff is a warm and spicy oriental floral fragrance for men and women. The top notes are bracing and earthy, blending the resin-and-clay scent of coriander with pepper and piquant carnation. Saffron provides a bittersweet and slightly leathery accord that softens the spice of the introduction. The heart is richly floral, sweet, narcotic and intensely passionate. Woody and deep, red rose interfuse with honeyed neroli and ylang-ylang. The base notes are soothing yet emphatic: sandalwood and patchouli accented with birch bark, drying down to a cocoa amber that lingers for hours.
1888 is appropriate for wear year round, but this fragrance is especially captivating during the cold winter months and on intimate evenings out.
The Xerjoff brand was created by Sergio Momo in 2003 and specializes in luxury fragrances packaged in exquisite flacons. The house scents are created in collaboration with perfumers Jacques Flori, Chris Maurice and Angeline Leporini.
