White on White
White on White by Xerjoff is an unisex eau de parfum in the luxury price tier. It opens with bergamot and fig, moves into cedarwood, patchouli and tolu balsam and dries down to amber, musk, sandalwood and bourbon vanilla. Expect around 10 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
- Fig Green, milky and jammy at once. One of the most interesting fruits in perfume.
Heart
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Tolu Balsam Warm, sweet, slightly cinnamon resin. Rich and rounded.
Dry-down
- Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
- Bourbon Vanilla Richer, boozier vanilla. Darker than the standard version.
