A unique visual signature based on accords, character, and seasonality
Fig leaf's green, slightly rubbery brightness flares against bergamot's zesty tang, but within minutes that milky fig accord muscles its way forward—sweet, nutty, almost coconut-like in its lactonic richness. The greenness doesn't disappear so much as become diffused through cream, like dropping basil into panna cotta.
Tolu balsam's vanilla-cinnamon warmth braids itself through the fig milk whilst patchouli lends an earthy, almost chocolate-adjacent depth that prevents the sweetness from turning one-dimensional. Cedarwood emerges as a dry, woody backbone, its pencil-shaving character providing crucial breathing room in an otherwise plush composition.
Sandalwood and bourbon vanilla meld into a skin-close haze that's equal parts woody and sweet, whilst musk and amber create that sought-after "your skin but better" effect. What remains is soft, quietly gourmand, and remarkably persistent—a whisper of milky sweetness and warm wood that refuses to vacate.
White on White is XerJoff's meditation on fig at its most opulent—not the sun-baked Mediterranean archetype, but something altogether more pillowy and indulgent. The fig leaf's green latex snap meets bergamot's citric brightness for mere moments before the entire composition surrenders to fig milk, that elusive lactonic richness that sits somewhere between almond cream and coconut flesh. This isn't fig as a bright, verdant escape; it's fig as dessert, as comfort, as cashmere.
The genius lies in how Tolu balsam's cinnamic warmth and patchouli's chocolate-earth undertones prop up that milky sweetness without letting it collapse into cloying territory. Cedarwood adds a pencil-shaving dryness that cuts through the cream just enough to keep things interesting, whilst sandalwood and bourbon vanilla build a base that's unapologetically gourmand yet never saccharine. The musk and amber provide a skin-like intimacy that pulls the whole composition close—this is a fragrance that exists in your personal sphere, not across the room.
