Ouverture by Xerjoff opens on fig leaf, orange and magnolia, green and citrus-bright at once. Cinnamon adds warmth as ylang-ylang, jasmine and Bulgarian rose build a spiced floral heart. The base settles into sandalwood, cashmere wood, amber, incense and vanilla, balsamic and gently powdery. It's a unisex fragrance from 2019, worn by men and women who like their florals with some weight behind them. Voters keep it for autumn and winter, mostly in the evening and at night, though it works at the office too. Most wearers vote its longevity long-lasting. The sillage vote leans moderate. A 10ml decant carries you through a season of dark evenings before you choose the full bottle.

The community verdict
Sandalwood and amber give Ouverture a creamy, warm finish after fig leaf, orange and magnolia lead into cinnamon and jasmine. Most find it long-lasting, while the largest group report moderate projection. It feels at home on autumn evenings, with winter nights also fitting its rich, sweet character.

The house
More from Xerjoff
Xerjoff is a Turin house, started in 2007 by Sergio Momo to make perfume with the richness of Italian design: dense, golden and unashamedly sweet. Most of the range sits in warm territory, with vanilla, amber and tonka bean underneath and saffron, cinnamon or cardamom for heat. A bright streak of bergamot keeps several of them from feeling heavy. Begin with XJ 1861 Naxos, where lavender meets honey over a sweet vanilla base. Erba Pura is the sunny one, a juicy fruit-and-citrus blend, and Lira turns citrus into something close to caramel. For a greener side of the house, try Torino21, fresh with aromatic herbs. Alexandria II shows the darker, woodier face, all amber and powder. Wear a few side by side and you will soon find which Xerjoff mood is yours.
