Amber Star

Xerjoff Amber Star dupe, inspired by the original

Xerjoff Amber Star is a smooth, vanillic amber built on ambergris and soft woods, warm and refined in the house’s luxurious style. Our interpretation carries that character in a long lasting Eau de Parfum, made in the EU.

The Story Behind the Scent

Xerjoff leans into warmth and quality here, building an amber around a soft, salty ambergris rather than a heavy labdanum. Ambergris, ylang ylang and cedar open it smooth and warm, guaiac wood and myrrh add a resinous, woody heart, and a base of benzoin, vanilla and sandalwood keeps it sweet and long lasting. It smells cosy and expensive, a polished amber.

How Our Version Compares to the Original

We do not claim this is identical, because no interpretation is. What we have built follows the same amber woody signature of the original, rebuilt at up to 40% perfume oil so it projects clearly early on and lingers longer than a typical spray. A little goes a long way.

Who It’s For

It suits anyone who loves a smooth, vanillic amber with a woody depth. It is at its best in autumn and winter and in the evening, and it wears as a unisex fragrance.
