{"product_id":"richwood","title":"Richwood","description":"\u003cp\u003eJacques Flori composed this for the 17\/17 Stone Label, and the name promises a woody fragrance that the note list does not actually deliver. Xerjoff released Richwood in 2010 as an eau de parfum built on Mysore sandalwood and patchouli, and it has since become the release most often named when people argue the house justifies its prices. The gap between what it is called and what it smells like is worth understanding first. Aromatica has the Richwood decant in Bangladesh in three sizes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFragrance Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTop:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mandarin Peel, Grapefruit, Bergamot, Blackcurrant\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeart:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rose, Geranium\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBase:\u003c\/strong\u003e Patchouli, Musk, Labdanum, Amber, Vanilla, Sandalwood\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Scent\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe opening is brighter and more citrus-forward than almost anyone expects, and on some skin it runs unusually long. Mandarin peel, grapefruit and bergamot come up together with blackcurrant giving the whole thing a tart fruity depth, and one reviewer describes the effect as an expensive champagne lightly dusted with clove and nutmeg. \u003cstrong\u003eThere are no spice notes in Richwood at all\u003c\/strong\u003e, and that phantom spice comes from the geranium, which is a detail worth listening for. Rose and geranium then rise slowly rather than switching over, and the transitions here are smooth enough that several people single out the blending as the fragrance's real achievement. The heart is where it becomes recognisably vintage in feel, floral and slightly soapy, and this is the phase that divides opinion most sharply. \u003cstrong\u003eThe base is the reason people buy it.\u003c\/strong\u003e Sandalwood arrives creamy and thick, patchouli sits earthy underneath it without the sharpness patchouli usually brings, and a bourbon-like vanilla rounds everything into something dense and warm. Comparisons to Chanel Coromandel and Dior Patchouli Imperial come up constantly, and the most useful summary offered by reviewers is that all three are branches of the same tree: Coromandel goes resinous and white-chocolate, Patchouli Imperial goes spicy, and Richwood stays smooth and creamy with a rose in place of the cocoa. \u003cstrong\u003eThe dissenting view is worth stating plainly\u003c\/strong\u003e, and several reviewers hear old-fashioned potpourri, soapy and dusty and out of its era, and find nothing in it worth the money. A number of people also report an acrid synthetic edge. Reformulation complaints, mostly about heavier patchouli in newer batches, are common enough to expect. One more thing worth flagging: sandalwood is no longer listed in the current pyramid even though it is what most people smell, which suggests the material has changed at some point in the fragrance's fifteen-year run.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhen to Wear\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCool weather and dressed-up occasions. \u003cstrong\u003eWinter evenings, formal events and anywhere the room is warm enough to lift the sandalwood\u003c\/strong\u003e.
