Xerjoff More Than Words Eau de Parfum 100ml is a rich, sophisticated woody-floral from the Italian luxury fragrance house Xerjoff. Composed by Chris Maurice in 2012 as part of the celebrated Join the Club collection, More Than Words is a fragrance inspired by the writers' clubs of old — pairing sweet fruity facets with smoky labdanum, refined florals and a warm oud-benzoin base. A genuinely luxurious, gender-fluid niche composition.

The story behind More Than Words
More Than Words is inspired by the writers' clubs of old — those sumptuous, smoke-and-leather lined rooms where literature, ideas and quiet evenings unfurled to the sound of pen on paper. The fragrance opens with a sweet fruity-floral curiosity, settles into a smoky labdanum-and-frankincense heart, and drys down on warm, resinous oud and benzoin: rich, contemplative, and quietly powerful.
Key benefits
- Premium niche composition from one of Italy's most respected luxury fragrance houses.
- Sophisticated woody-floral signature — gender-fluid and genuinely refined.
- Long-lasting eau de parfum concentration with excellent projection.
- Excellent for evening wear, cooler weather and special occasions.
- Beautifully presented Join the Club flacon — collector-worthy.
Who it's for
More Than Words is for niche-fragrance enthusiasts who appreciate well-built, naturals-heavy compositions — fans of houses like Amouage, Roja Parfums, Maison Francis Kurkdjian or other Xerjoff collections such as Naxos and Erba Pura. Its warmth and depth make it particularly well-suited to evening wear, autumn and winter, formal occasions and as a signature scent for someone who wants distinctive elegance without obvious "designer" loudness.
How to wear it
- Apply to clean, moisturised skin — well-moisturised skin holds the warm oud-benzoin base for longer.
- Spray onto pulse points: wrists, neck, behind the ears.
- For a softer halo, mist once into the air and walk through it.
- Avoid rubbing the wrists together — it bruises the sweet fruity opening.
- Best worn in the evening and cooler months, where the smoky resins and oud bloom most fully.
