About this fragrance

Written from the structured record above — note pyramid, accord weights, perfumer credit and era.

Xeryus Rouge (1995) is Givenchy's spicier, warmer reinterpretation of the original Xeryus. It opens with a crisp, green burst of kumquat — a small citrus fruit that lends a bitter-sweet freshness rather than a sugary one. The heart quickly turns up the heat: pimento (allspice) and African geranium add a peppery, aromatic bite, while cedar begins to build a woody spine. In the base, sandalwood, more cedar, and white musk create a smooth, powdery, and resinous finish. The overall effect is a dense, warm-spicy oriental fougere with prominent woody and aromatic facets. Collectors who enjoy 1990s powerhouses like Dolce & Gabbana Pour Homme or Gucci Nobile will find Xeryus Rouge a worthy, lesser-seen alternative. It suits cooler weather and evening wear, and its assertive character makes it best for confident, mature wearers. The drydown is long-lasting and slightly sweet, with the musk softening the spices over time.

中文簡介

Xeryus Rouge(1995)係 Givenchy 將原版 Xeryus 重新詮釋嘅暖香料版本。前調用金桔帶出清新微苦嘅綠意,唔係甜膩嘅柑橘。中調嘅多香果同非洲天竺葵即刻加熱,散發胡椒般嘅辛香,雪松同時築起木質骨架。基調嘅檀香、雪松同白麝香交織出柔滑、帶粉感嘅樹脂結尾。整體係一款濃郁嘅東方馥奇,暖辛、木質同芳香並重。適合鍾情九十年代經典男士香水嘅收藏家,秋冬夜晚使用最啱,氣質成熟自信。留香持久,尾調會越嚟越柔順。

Before you buy

A batch code cannot prove authenticity on its own, but it can expose contradictions — a code that decodes to a date before the fragrance existed, or a bottle and box that disagree.
