Xerjoff Groove Xcape(100ml)

Groove Xcape is one of the most experimental entries in the Xerjoff Blends collection. Launched in 2023, it is the result of a "synesthetic" collaboration between Sergio Momo and Max Casacci, the co-founder of the Italian electronic-rock band Subsonica.The creative hook of this fragrance is fascinating: Casacci composed a musical track using only the sounds of perfume production—the clinking of flacons, the swirling of liquids, and the hiss of the spray. Groove Xcape is the olfactory translation of that rhythm.The Olfactory ProfileThe scent is a Woody Spicy Oriental that captures a "metallic," almost industrial atmosphere, which then shifts into a mystical, resinous warmth.The Opening (The Hiss):

The fragrance opens with a sharp, "cold" energy. Ginger and Elemi provide a metallic, citrus-adjacent brightness, while Pepper and Cardamom add a dry, vibrating spice. This stage is meant to mimic the "static" and "clicks" of electronic music.The Heart (The Rhythm):

As the metallic edge softens, the scent moves into a deeply atmospheric heart. Incense and Myrrh provide a smoky, "fog-machine" quality (reminiscent of a live concert), while Mimosa and Rose add a subtle, velvet-like floral texture that rounds out the sharpness.The Base (The Resonance):

The dry down is solid, earthy, and grounding. Labdanum and Benzoin offer a resinous sweetness, while Cedarwood and Patchouli provide a lingering, woody depth that remains on the skin long after the music stops.Key Fragrance NotesLayerNotesTopGinger, Elemi, Pepper, CardamomHeartIncense, Myrrh, Mimosa, RoseBaseLabdanum, Benzoin, Cedarwood, PatchouliDesign and PresentationThe bottle is a visual representation of the collaboration’s "high-tech" soul.The Flacon: It features a striking dark blue-to-black gradient with a textured, metallic finish that feels both modern and mysterious.The Box: The packaging often includes a QR code that allows you to listen to the specific track created by Max Casacci, completing the multisensory experience.Performance & CharacterLongevity: Like many Xerjoff Extraits, this has exceptional staying power, often lasting 10–12 hours.Vibe: It is not a "crowd-pleaser" in the traditional sense; it’s an artistic, avant-garde scent.
