The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2009, Shingl by Xerjoff is an Oriental fragrance that embodies the brand's commitment to using the finest ingredients. Created by perfumer Christian Rostain, this composition opens with a fresh aromatic blend of bergamot and basil before diving into deeper notes of iris and rum, which add warmth and depth. The base layers of patchouli, vetiver, vanilla, amber, and musk create an earthy, powdery foundation that grounds the scent in rich, luxurious comfort.
Apply Shingl in light layers, as it blooms gradually over time. The rum note is particularly noticeable in the first hour but fades into a warm, powdery base that lasts throughout the day.
