Holysm by Xerjoff, launched in 2023, is a fragrance that balances the freshness of aromatic and spicy notes with the warmth of woody and tobacco accords. The opening with balsam fir and clary sage creates a crisp and invigorating start, while thyme and cade oil add an earthy complexity. As it settles, caraway and tobacco introduce a layer of depth, followed by labdanum and cedar that lend a rich, warm base. Vietnamese oud and patchouli anchor the composition with their distinctive woody presence, supported by the smoothness of sandalwood.

Application Tips
Holysm develops its full character over time, so apply it to pulse points and allow it to build naturally. It's best for daytime wear when the fresh-spicy opening can transition smoothly into the rich base notes as the day progresses.
