More Than Words Xerjoff

More Than Words perfume from the luxury Italian house Xerjoff is an oriental-woody unisex fragrance, released in 2012 by perfumer Chris Maurice. It belongs to the "Join the Club" (JTC) collection that celebrates elite worlds, inspired by writers, poets, and the power of the written word. It features a rich and complex composition that combines sweet fruity notes, deep resins, and strong oud. The scent description (fragrance layers): although Xerjoff does not usually disclose the official composition of the JTC collection perfumes, the main notes highlighted in the fragrance are: Top notes (initial): the perfume opens with sweet, rich fruity hints, resembling berries or ripe tropical fruits, with a luxurious spicy touch of saffron. This blend provides a bright and surprisingly attractive start. Middle notes (heart): the fragrance transitions to a rich, velvety heart that combines delicate floral notes with a deep, sensual touch of amber or ambergris. Amber adds a slightly salty note that balances the sweetness and increases complexity. Base notes (foundation): the scent settles on a deep, very warm oriental base. The main components are oud (agarwood), other woods, frankincense (Olibanum), and labdanum. This base gives the perfume a smoky, balsamic, and strongly woody character that ensures exceptional longevity. Overall character: More Than Words is a powerful, luxurious perfume with outstanding performance (high longevity and sillage that lasts for many hours). It is described as a "beast mode" or "wild" performance perfume. It is particularly suitable for evenings, special occasions, and cold weather (autumn and winter), leaving a strong, mysterious, and very elegant impression. It artistically combines contradictions: fruity freshness with resinous warmth and woody depth.
