Xeryus, created by Alberto Morillas and launched by Givenchy in 1986, is a Woody Aromatic fragrance that stands as a proof of the brand's distinctive blend of French elegance and American glamour. This composition opens with a bright burst of citrus—lemon and bergamot—that cuts through the aromatic green notes like a fresh breeze. The heart features floral elements such as jasmine, rose, and lily-of-the-valley, adding layers of warmth and complexity. As it settles into its woody base, sandalwood, cedar, and leather create an earthy depth that feels both grounding and sophisticated.

Application Tips
Xeryus has a rich base that takes time to bloom. Apply it in thin layers for a more gradual development, allowing each note to unfold naturally throughout the day. It pairs well with cooler weather but can also be worn year-round, depending on your preference.

The crisp morning after a light rain, where the air is filled with the scent of wet earth and blooming flowers as sunlight breaks through the clouds.
