2023 · unisex

Xerjoff is an Italian niche house known for complex, ingredient-driven compositions that prioritize quality materials and distinctive character over mass appeal. Astaral, released in 2023, represents the brand's commitment to bold, unconventional fragrance design.

Astaral opens with anise and pink pepper, creating an unusual spiced-licorice top that immediately signals something different. The heart brings in amberwood, labdanum, rose, and violet, adding a mineral-woody sweetness with floral depth. The base is heavy and resinous, built on oud, amber, cedar, moss, and patchouli -- creating a layered, earthy foundation that reinforces the fragrance's dark amber and woody character throughout its development.

This is a fragrance for those seeking something unconventional and ingredient-focused rather than immediately likable. The anise-forward opening will polarize, but it settles into a sophisticated woody-amber blend with genuine complexity. Best suited for evening wear or cooler seasons when heavier, more introspective scents feel appropriate. The Mystic, The Reverie, and The Seducer.

Top · 0–30 min
Anise
Anise
Sweet, warm, and intensely licorice-like, anise seed has a Mediterranean, medicinal sweetness that is simultaneously familiar and distinctive. In perfumery anise adds a warm, aromatic depth that bridges spice and gourmand families. Used in oriental compositions and masculine fragrances to add a slightly unusual, warming sweetness.
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.

Amberwood
Amberwood
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.
Rose
Rose
The queen of floral notes and the most-used ingredient in fine perfumery. Real rose is simultaneously velvety, honeyed, and slightly spicy, nothing like the synthetic candy version. Depending on the variety used, it can anchor a composition or drift through it like a ghost, adding warmth without dominating.
Violet
Violet
Sweet, powdery, and faintly green, violet sits between floral and earthy in a way that feels distinctly old-world glamorous. The leaf and the flower smell quite different: the flower is sugary and delicate, while violet leaf is fresh and slightly vegetal. Together they create a note that feels both nostalgic and current.

Agarwood (Oud)
Agarwood (Oud)
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.
Cedar
Cedar
Moss
Moss
Damp, green, and slightly bitter with a cool, shadowy quality, moss is nature's version of depth in perfumery. Oakmoss and tree moss both add a forest-floor complexity that anchors compositions in something real. Essential to classic chypre fragrances and the inspiration for countless green woody accords.
Patchouli
Patchouli
Dense, earthy, and darkly sweet, patchouli is the scent of damp soil and dried herbs with an almost chocolatey richness. It polarizes people because in high concentrations it's overwhelming, but as a supporting note it adds depth and longevity that almost nothing else can match. The backbone of countless oriental and chypre fragrances.
