Ceylon
Concentration not disclosed
An afternoon out of time in Sri Lanka, between black tea and hidden flowers.
Ceylon starts from Sri Lanka, its history and its landscapes. Xerjoff captures a moment out of time: a lazy afternoon, when the heat lifts the scent of tea plantations and of unseen flowers. It belongs to the Oud Stars collection.
Bergamot, Indian jasmine sambac and honey open the composition. Indian sandalwood, Ceylon black tea and a blend of Malaysian ouds form the heart, over a base of amber, musk and Madagascan vanilla.

Ceylon in detail
Xerjoff, a Turin house, loves rare materials and travel. Ceylon starts from Sri Lanka, its history and its landscapes: a moment out of time, a lazy afternoon when the heat lifts the scent of tea plantations and of unseen flowers.
The official pyramid opens with bergamot, Indian jasmine sambac and honey. The heart brings together Indian sandalwood, Ceylon black tea and a blend of Malaysian ouds, rendered here by oud: the intensity of oud is veiled with tea and honey. The base pairs amber, musk and Madagascan vanilla.
Ceylon can be worn from autumn to spring, by day or by night. Its tea and honey make the oud soft and luminous.
Three woody fragrances in our catalogue come close: Oud Noir Intense by Fragrance Du Bois shares bergamot, sandalwood, vanilla, musk, amber and oud; No1 Masculine by Clive Christian pairs bergamot, amber, sandalwood, vanilla and musk; Abu Dhabi by Memo Paris finds bergamot, vanilla and musk again.
