Xerjoff is an Italian niche house known for complex, ingredient-driven compositions that often push beyond conventional fragrance boundaries. Founded by perfumer Carlo Xerjoff, the brand has built a reputation for uncompromising quality and distinctive olfactory storytelling.

Ascot Moon opens with a bright, green burst of apple, bergamot, and basil that immediately establishes a crisp, herbal character. The heart deepens this green theme with ivy and mint, while cardamom and pink pepper add subtle spice and warmth. The base settles into a woody-amber foundation of oakmoss, vetiver, and labdanum, creating an earthy anchor that grounds the fragrance's aromatic complexity. Overall, this is a distinctly green, herbal composition with mossy undertones and enough amber-wood depth to prevent it from feeling sharp or one-dimensional.

Ascot Moon suits those drawn to intellectual, natural-leaning fragrances rather than immediately pleasant ones. It works best in cooler seasons or as a skin scent, where its green and herbal qualities can breathe without competing with heat. If you gravitate toward The Tactician, The Homesteader, and The Aristocrat, Ascot Moon deserves consideration.

Fragrance Notescommunity verified
Top · 0–30 min
Apple
Apple
Fresh, crisp, and slightly cidery, apple reads as clean and natural rather than candy-sweet. Green apple is sharper and more aromatic; red apple is rounder and juicier. Both add an approachable freshness to florals and fresher orientals, and green apple in particular is a signature of certain classic masculines.
Basil
Basil
Sweet, spicy, and vividly herbal, basil has a green freshness with slightly anise-like and peppery facets that make it more complex than most culinary herbs. In perfumery it adds a lively, Mediterranean quality and pairs beautifully with citrus and woody notes. An underused note that rewards those who seek it out.
Bergamot
Bergamot
A sun-ripened Italian citrus with a brightness that goes beyond lemon, simultaneously tart, floral, and slightly spicy. It's the defining note of Earl Grey tea and the backbone of countless fresh colognes. Perfumers love it as an opener because it lifts the entire composition without overpowering what follows.
Green Notes
Green Notes
Heart · 30 min – 3 hrs
Cardamom
Cardamom
Aromatic, warm, and slightly eucalyptus-like with a spiced green freshness that is entirely its own. Cardamom is one of the most elegant spice notes in perfumery, exotic without being heavy, warm without being sweet. It appears frequently in Middle Eastern-inspired fragrances and modern masculine compositions.
Ivy
Ivy
Cool, green, and slightly bitter, ivy leaf has a sharp, watery greenness with a faint woody undertone. It's used in perfumery to add a cold, shadowy greenness to compositions, the scent of an old stone wall covered in climbing plants, simultaneously fresh and ancient.
Mint
Mint
Cool, sharp, and immediately recognizable, mint adds a clean, almost medicinal freshness that cuts through heavier notes. Spearmint is sweeter; peppermint is sharper. Either way, mint gives fragrances a lively, brisk quality that reads as alert and outdoorsy. Best used as an accent rather than a lead to avoid smelling like toothpaste.
Pink Pepper
Pink Pepper
Fruity, slightly rosy, and gently spiced, pink pepper is softer and more aromatic than black pepper. It occupies a unique space between citrus, floral, and spice families, which makes it exceptionally versatile. You'll find it in contemporary fresh fragrances where it adds lift and personality without aggression.
Base · 3–12 hrs
Amber
Amber
A warm, resinous accord rather than a single ingredient, amber is typically built from labdanum, benzoin, and vanilla to create a rich, honeyed, almost solar warmth. It's the quintessential base-note family, adding a comforting richness that makes fragrances feel complete. The difference between a fragrance feeling cold and feeling alive.
Labdanum
Labdanum
A resin from the rock rose plant with a dark, animalic, honeyed quality that anchors many classic oriental fragrances. Labdanum is simultaneously leathery and sweet, with a raw complexity that synthetic materials struggle to match. It's a cornerstone of amber accords and chypre compositions.
Musk
Musk
The base layer of almost every modern fragrance, a soft, warm, skin-like scent that extends longevity and bridges other notes together. Natural musk was once derived from deer (now banned); today's musks are synthetic and range from clean and soapy to dark and animalic. The right musk makes a fragrance smell like 'you.'
Oakmoss
Oakmoss
The defining ingredient of classic chypre perfumery, damp, forest-floor earthy with a faint bitterness and incredible complexity. Real oakmoss is now heavily restricted by IFRA regulations, which is why vintage chypres smell so different from modern ones. When present, it creates a raw, outdoorsy anchor that no synthetic fully replicates.
Vetiver
Vetiver
Earthy, smoky, and complex, vetiver root is extracted from a grass native to India and has a scent that is simultaneously rooty, woody, and slightly lemony. It's one of perfumery's great base notes: tenacious, unisex, and endlessly adaptable. A fragrance built around vetiver feels grounded and deeply confident.
