Olissipo
Xerjoff is an Italian niche house known for complex, layered compositions that often draw from historical references and literary inspiration. The brand's fragrances tend toward the unconventional, with a focus on natural raw materials and unexpected ingredient combinations.
Olissipo opens with bright citrus -- Amalfi lemon, Brazilian orange, and bergamot -- anchored by cumin and a touch of rose for immediate warmth. The heart shifts into herbal and woody territory with clary sage, lavender, and cypriol oil, supported by benzoin and balsam that add depth without sweetness. Oud dominates the base alongside sandalwood and Madagascar vanilla, creating a woody-gourmand finish with caramel and musk for texture. The overall character is sophisticated and somewhat austere, balancing citrus freshness against oud's resinous weight, with gourmand elements that prevent it from becoming too serious.
This works best for someone seeking a fragrance with substance and complexity, one that rewards wearing and changes throughout the day. It's equally suited to cooler months and formal settings as it is to casual wear, though the oud presence demands some comfort with woody, slightly smoky scents. Olissipo appeals to The Romantic, The Hedonist, and The Heirloom.
