The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2013, Don by Xerjoff is an Oriental Fougere fragrance crafted by perfumer Chris Maurice. The composition opens with the warm embrace of tobacco and whiskey, creating a smoky and aromatic foundation that feels both familiar and luxurious. As it settles on the skin, caramel and sweet notes mingle with woody undertones, adding depth and complexity to the overall aroma. This fragrance is a proof of Xerjoff's commitment to using the finest ingredients in exquisite packaging.

How to wear it

One or two sprays is sufficient — the smoky top notes are potent and linger well into the day. The warm spicy base develops over time, so it’s best applied a bit closer to skin for a more personal experience.
