This softly gives way to the middle notes of rose, cedar and lily of the valley. The base fills in the rest of the scent with poignant sandalwood, resounding agarwood and a breath of warmth and sweetness from vanilla, amber and musk. The fragrance house of Xerjoff, although relatively new, has crafted a strong cult following with its variety of signature scents. The brand's base in Italy allows it to craft a variety of perfumes inspired by historical and natural phenomena.
