Xerjoff More Than Words is a dense, oriental men's fragrance that sets a floral, fruity sweetness against a resinous, smoky woodiness, and it suits cooler-season evenings.

What does More Than Words smell like?

Spicy notes, rose and dried fruits build a sweet frame, while labdanum, oud and ambergris weigh it down with resinous, smoky depth. The spice and oud stay in front, and the rose softens the blend without pulling it fully floral.

Longevity is rated very strong and sillage strong. Most voters pick fall and winter, and summer gets very few votes. It leans towards evenings and nights out, and is rarely chosen for the office or daily wear. A masculine character dominates, though a fair number of voters read it as feminine. Hugo Boss Boss Bottled Oud Saffron and Dior Oud Ispahan (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.
