The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2023, Groove Xcape by Xerjoff is an intricate composition crafted by perfumer Karine Vinchon Spehner. The fragrance opens with a burst of fresh and warm spices like pepper, cardamom, and ginger, creating an immediate sense of vibrancy. This energetic top note evolves into a heart that balances the spiciness with elemi and incense, adding a layer of complexity. The base notes, featuring cedar, benzoin, and patchouli, ground the composition in rich, smoky warmth, making it both inviting and intriguing.
Apply Groove Xcape in light layers to allow its complex notes to unfold gradually. The spicy top notes fade within an hour, but the smoky and woody base continues to evolve throughout the day, making it ideal for evening wear.
