Launched in 1995 by Givenchy and crafted by perfumer Annick Ménardo, Xeryus Rouge is a complex Oriental Fougère that weaves together warm spices, woody notes, and aromatic freshness. The fragrance opens with the unexpected contrast of cactus and Chinese orange, adding an earthy green depth to the composition. Tarragon and pimento bring a fresh spicy warmth, while African geranium introduces a subtle floral note. Cedar and sandalwood form a rich base that is anchored by white musk, creating a scent that feels both grounded and enigmatic.

Application Tips
For best results, apply Xeryus Rouge to pulse points and let it settle for a few minutes before going about your day. The base notes bloom gradually, so a lighter application allows the warmth and complexity to unfold naturally without overpowering.

The story behind the bottle.
The quiet intensity of an early evening stroll through a garden where the sun's warmth lingers on the skin, and the air is filled with the rich scent of earth and spices.
