Launched in 2022, Amphorae 16 by Xerjoff is a composition that balances earthy and woody accords with a touch of sweetness and warmth. The fragrance opens with Madagascar vanilla, which introduces a rich and comforting note before transitioning into the heart of cypriol oil or nagarmotha and jasmine sambac. These notes create an intriguing tension between the animalic complexity of the base—Laotian oud, Haitian vetiver, and Cambodian oud—and the powdery, vanilla-infused warmth that lingers throughout.

Application Tips
Amphorae 16 is best applied in layers to fully appreciate its depth. Start with a light spritz on pulse points and allow it to settle for an hour before adding another layer if desired. The fragrance's earthy base notes will slowly emerge, making it particularly suited for evenings or cooler weather.

The story behind the bottle.
A dimly lit study filled with books and the faint scent of incense, where the rich warmth of oud blends seamlessly with the powdery comfort of vanilla.
