About
Oesel by Xerjoff is a Oriental Floral fragrance for women and men. Oesel was launched in 2010. Top notes are African Orange Flower, Petitgrain and Lemon; middle notes are Mimosa, White Flowers, Jasmine and Rose; base notes are Tobacco Blossom, Amber, Patchouli and Virginia Cedar. Oesel perfume from the Shooting Stars Collection is a symphony of bright and rich notes perfectly mixed with the best raw ingredients. Orange blossom and petitgrain from Paraguay lead the path to the heart of Bulgarian rose and Sambac jasmine, which are skillfully wrapped in sophisticated mimosa and white flowers. Graceful result of this mixed breed is the ambery wooden base of Indian patchouli, cedar and tobacco flower, which exudes the character, depth and persistence. > It is available as 50 and 100 ml EDP.
