Empiryan

Empiryan by Xerjoff is an unisex eau de parfum in the luxury price tier. It opens with cypriol and tobacco, moves into atlas cedar, patchouli and incense and dries down to vanilla, amber and labdanum. Expect around 10 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.

Notes, explained

Opening

Cypriol Also called nagarmotha. Smoky, leathery, earthy — a vetiver relative.
Tobacco Sweet, dried and honeyed. Nothing like a cigarette.

Heart

Atlas Cedar Smoother, resinous cedar. Warmer than the Virginia type.
Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
Incense Smoky, dry and meditative. Adds gravity to anything.

Dry-down

Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
Labdanum Sticky, leathery resin. Dark honey and old books.
