About

"DECAS celebrates the 10 years since the release of the first perfume in Xerjoff 1861 collection, and evokes an inspiring mood with zesty notes of Calabrian mandarin. Intriguing and opulent, top notes of tuberose and tobacco lead the nose towards a heart of Italian orris and rich, ceremonial Benzoin, emulating the dignity and regal atmosphere of historic Italy. Smoky, soft opopanax warms at the heart of the fragrance whilst notes of musk, balsam and vanilla provide a grounding, evocative base. " - a note from the brand. The fragrance is composed under the creative direction of Sergio Momo, and launched in 2021.
