The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2023, Aridal by Xerjoff is a fragrance that balances the crispness of elemi and cypress with the warmth of patchouli and cashmere wood. The composition opens with elemi and pink pepper, adding a fresh spicy top note before settling into an aromatic heart of cypress and nutmeg. A powdery base of orris root and benzoin rounds out the scent, creating a harmonious blend that feels both earthy and refined.
A single spritz on each wrist is enough to capture Aridal's essence. The fresh spicy notes are prominent in the first hour, so it’s best applied before heading out for the day. As it settles into its powdery base, it becomes more intimate and close-to-skin.
