Richwood feels like polished wood warmed by late sun, a suave meeting of bright citrus and plush florals that melts into a silken bed of patchouli, vanilla, and sandalwood. It opens with a lively sparkle before settling into a deep, elegant glow that reads refined, confident, and quietly opulent on skin, with a texture that recalls fine grain and velvet for hours.

Story and Positioning
Richwood is part of Xerjoff’s 17 17 Stone Label, a collection inspired by minerals at London’s Natural History Museum and celebrated for pairing noble materials with artisanal presentation. The scent narrative centers on sandalwood’s serenity and a luminous citrus and rose prelude, creating a dressed-up woody chypre suited to evening wear, formal settings, and cool weather. Often mention in parallelly with Chanel Coromandel and Tom Ford Noir de Noir for their shared patchouli rose warmth and elegant depth.
Bottle and Design
The 17 17 flacon presents clear, weighty glass with a reflective plaque and a sculpted crown cap. Its signature detail is a hand-set Kalahari pietersite stone embedded on the bottle front, a nod to the collection’s semi-precious artistry and a tactile accent that underscores the perfume’s luxurious character.
