Xerjoff is an Italian niche fragrance house known for producing complex, ingredient-forward compositions. The brand has built a reputation for using rare and precious materials, often sourcing components from around the world to craft distinctive olfactory experiences.

Tempest opens with a bright citrus blast of Brazilian orange, bergamot, and lemon, lifted by herbal notes of lavender and ginger. The heart develops into a woody, slightly animalic composition featuring amberwood, atlas cedar, and cypriol oil, with Bulgarian rose and jasmine adding floral depth. The base settles into a rich, earthy foundation of oud, vetiver, patchouli, and sandalwood, rounded out with amber and musk. The overall character is aromatic and woody with a distinctly spiced quality that evolves from fresh and citrusy to progressively warmer and more resinous.

Tempest suits fragrance enthusiasts who appreciate complex woody compositions with serious oud and natural-leaning materials. It works well across seasons but shines in cooler months when its dry, slightly smoky character feels most appropriate. This fragrance aligns with The Homesteader, The Sensualist, and The Mystic profiles.

Fragrance Notescommunity verified
Top · 0–30 min
Brazilian Orange
Brazilian Orange
Calabrian Bergamot
Calabrian Bergamot
The gold standard of bergamot, grown in the Calabria region of southern Italy where the unique microclimate produces fruit with exceptional aromatic complexity. Calabrian bergamot has a deeper, more nuanced profile than generic bergamot with a brighter floral facet and more sustained freshness. It is the preferred variety for the finest eau de colognes and tea blends.
Elemi
Elemi
Light, piney, and slightly citrusy resin from the Philippines, elemi is frankincense's more approachable, transparent cousin. It has a fresh, almost lemony sharpness alongside its resinous warmth, making it useful in both fresh and oriental compositions. A bridge between sharp and deep, fresh and warm.
Ginger
Ginger
Warm, zesty, and slightly medicinal with a bite that sits between spice and citrus. Ginger root adds a lively, invigorating quality to fragrances, it energises rather than soothes. Depending on how it's used, it can read as fresh and zingy or warm and earthy, making it unusually versatile across fragrance families.
Lavender
Lavender
One of perfumery's most essential and beloved notes, clean, herbal, and slightly sweet with a calming, familiar quality that works in almost any context. Lavender is simultaneously the most versatile and the most human of ingredients: it appears in barbershop colognes, romantic florals, and sophisticated orientals alike. A note that simply works.
Lemon
Lemon
Sharp, clean, and instantly familiar, the pure zest of fresh-cut lemon peel, not the sugary juice. In perfumery it reads as crisp and energising rather than sweet, and is often used to amplify other light notes. It fades quickly, so it's almost always a top note that makes a striking first impression.
Petitgrain Paraguay
Petitgrain Paraguay
Heart · 30 min – 3 hrs
Amberwood
Amberwood
Atlas Cedar
Atlas Cedar
From the Atlas Mountains of Morocco and Algeria, Atlas cedar has a dry, pencil-shaving sharpness with a slightly smoky, resinous depth. More aromatic and peppery than Virginia cedar, with a cool, almost minty facet. A staple of classic masculine fragrances and the backbone of many chypre compositions.
Bulgarian Rose
Bulgarian Rose
The most prized rose in perfumery, grown in the Valley of Roses in Kazanlak, Bulgaria. Rosa damascena cultivated here produces an oil of extraordinary depth: honeyed, velvety, with faint hints of tea, honey, and spice. The standard against which all other rose materials are measured.
Cypriol Oil Or Nagarmotha
Cypriol Oil Or Nagarmotha
Gurjan Balsam
Gurjan Balsam
An oleoresin from Southeast Asian dipterocarpe trees with a complex, smoky, resinous, and slightly camphoraceous character. Gurjan balsam adds a distinctly exotic, slightly harsh resinous depth to oriental compositions. It has a raw, natural quality that synthetic balsams cannot fully replicate.
Jasmine Sambac
Jasmine Sambac
The smaller-flowered Asian variety of jasmine used to scent traditional jasmine tea, with a sweeter, more honeyed, and slightly fruity character compared to Jasminum grandiflorum. Jasmine sambac has a lighter, more transparent quality with a tea-like freshness alongside its floral richness. It is the defining jasmine of South and Southeast Asian perfumery.
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.
Haitian Vetiver
Haitian Vetiver
Vetiver grown in Haiti, one of the world's largest producers, with a particularly earthy, smoky, and slightly woody quality. Haitian vetiver is drier and more rustic than Java vetiver, with a rawer, more agrarian character. It is widely used in masculine and woody fragrances for its excellent tenacity and unmistakable earthy presence.
Laotian Oud
Laotian Oud
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.'
Sandalwood
Sandalwood
Creamy, smooth, and milky with a soft, skin-like warmth that clings beautifully. True Mysore sandalwood is one of perfumery's most precious ingredients, simultaneously wood and skin, never cold or sharp. It rounds off sharp edges in any composition and makes the wearer smell subtly, irresistibly warmer.
