The story behind the bottle.
Amphorae 39 by Xerjoff, launched in 2022, is a bold and complex fragrance that balances fresh spicy notes with warm spices and sweet accents. The composition opens with the zesty freshness of Calabrian bergamot and Brazilian Orange, cutting through the richness of cardamom and cloves. As it evolves, black pepper and cumin add depth, while ylang-ylang brings a touch of sweetness that rounds out the overall warmth provided by nutmeg, musk, and Madagascar vanilla.
Apply this fragrance in layers for maximum impact. The citrus top notes are bright but fleeting, so a second application after an hour can help maintain that initial freshness while allowing the warm spices to develop fully. Ideal for cooler evenings when you want both warmth and vibrancy.
