Red Hoba in detail
Xerjoff, the Turin house founded by Sergio Momo, named Red Hoba after the Hoba meteorite in Namibia, like the other fragrances of its meteorite collection. The house files it among its spicy orientals.
The official pyramid opens with bergamot, cardamom and cinnamon. The heart gathers resinous incense, powdery orris, jasmine and patchouli. The base pairs smoky guaiac wood, cistus labdanum, musk, sandalwood and Cashmeran, a woody, velvety IFF molecule.
Red Hoba is worn in the evening, in autumn and winter. It is a spicy, resinous amber fragrance, in which orris brings a powdery freshness amid the spices. It suits a dinner or a winter evening.
Three amber fragrances in our catalogue share many of its materials: Epic Woman by Amouage brings together cinnamon, jasmine, musk, incense, guaiac wood, orris, sandalwood and patchouli; Amber Aoud by Roja Parfums pairs bergamot, jasmine, cinnamon, patchouli, sandalwood, orris and musk; Aridal, from the same house, combines orris, jasmine, patchouli and sandalwood.
