More Than Words
Xerjoff does not disclose the notes of More Than Words, by design. What the fragrance reveals on skin is a jammy, deep damask rose opening with cardamom giving it warmth and spice before oud and olibanum take over in the heart with a frankincense-resin character that is both solemn and rich. The labdanum and benzoin base give the composition a balsamic sweetness that the oud heart earns, and ambergris extends the drydown into something skin-close and persistent. The decision to keep the notes private is itself a statement about how the fragrance is meant to be experienced.
Why We Carry This
The Join The Club philosophy of intentional opacity around note disclosure suits More Than Words particularly well. What matters is that the rose-oud-olibanum construction is executed at the level of quality the Xerjoff name promises, and the labdanum base gives this a staying power that rewards discovery.
