Xeryus by Givenchy, created by Alberto Morillas in 1986, is a classic floral-woody masculine with spicy and ambery depth. Flowers lead, with wood, spice, amber and citrus behind and a leather accent.
The opening is bright and herbal: green notes, mandarin, lemon and bergamot meet lavender and a floral cluster of ylang-ylang, rose and jasmine. The heart is spicy and aromatic, with coriander, cinnamon and carnation adding a clove-like warmth, while cypress, juniper berries and tarragon bring green, resinous and herbal tones. The base is a traditional 1980s foundation of oakmoss, vetiver, leather, incense, amber and cedar, earthy, smoky and warm.
The profile suggests a scent for autumn and winter, formal occasions, evenings and anyone who enjoys the bold, layered masculine style of its era. It suits someone who appreciates vintage-style fougères and chypres with plenty of character and a dry, mossy finish.
