Main Accords
10 MAPPEDThe dominant white floral accord acts as a bridge between icy top notes and heavy earthy woods. Eucalyptus creates a herbal menthol buzz across the first hour, while dark chocolate and patchouli anchor the skin scent with a bitter sweet warmth that persists long after the florals fade.

Fragranxe Review
EDITORIAL“Xerjoff Sixth Floor Review: Harrods Rare Medicinal Floral”
Xerjoff Sixth Floor makes a bold first impression on skin. Spraying it delivers an icy blast of eucalyptus mixed with tart blood orange, bitter bergamot, and spicy ginger. The opening smells brisk, almost medicinal, resembling a luxury spiced root beer syrup bubbling over crushed ice. It feels energetic and intentionally unusual for an oriental floral composition.
After fifteen minutes, the frosty citrus edge relaxes as creamy white florals push through. Tuberose takes central stage alongside sweet orange blossom, narcissus, and jasmine sambac. The floral accord smells rich and slightly honeyed without turning overly powdery. This phase feels decidedly feminine compared to the medicinal start, creating a surprising contrast that keeps the nose guessing.
As the heart settles into the skin around the two-hour mark, Sixth Floor flips its character completely. The bright florals step back, allowing heavy base notes of dark patchouli, bitter chocolate, unburnt tobacco, and amber to take command. The dry-down smells dense, woody, and smoky. Skin heat amplifies the chocolate and tobacco, softening the green patchouli into a warm velvet texture.
In terms of endurance, two sprays easily yield eleven hours of continuous performance. Sillage projects six feet for the first three hours before settling into an arm's length scent bubble. Cold weather brings out the best in this formula. Autumn rain and winter evenings allow the spicy tobacco and sweet amber to bloom comfortably without suffocating nearby people.
This fragrance fits experienced fragrance enthusiasts who enjoy dramatic transitions and rare exclusive releases. Its sharp shift from mentholated citrus floral to dark earthy chocolate makes it a conversation starter at formal dinners or gallery openings. Beginners accustomed to straightforward sweet gourmands might find the eucalyptus opening jarring during their first wear.
Sixth Floor remains one of the most intriguing offerings in the Xerjoff catalogue. The staggering retail price tag makes it a luxury splurge reserved for dedicated collectors. If you enjoy vintage amber florals with a dark tobacco twist, obtaining a sample is well worth the effort before committing to a full presentation flacon.
FAQs
What does Xerjoff Sixth Floor smell like?+
Sixth Floor opens with a medicinal burst of eucalyptus, blood orange, and ginger that resembles herbal root beer syrup. As it settles, creamy tuberose and orange blossom emerge, followed by a dark dry-down of patchouli, dark chocolate, and unburnt tobacco.
How long does Xerjoff Sixth Floor last on skin?+
You can count on ten to twelve hours of continuous wear on skin from two sprays. Fabric and wool clothing retain the amber, chocolate, and patchouli base notes for several days, making touch-ups unnecessary during long winter evening events.
What is the sillage and projection of Sixth Floor?+
The sillage projects strongly up to four feet for the initial three hours after application. After the white florals fade into patchouli and tobacco, the scent contracts into an arm's length aura that remains clear to nearby companions.
Which season is best for wearing Xerjoff Sixth Floor?+
Late autumn and cold winter weather provide the optimal climate for this fragrance. Cold air balances the sweet tuberose and dense chocolate patchouli base, preventing the heavy amber elements from feeling cloying in humid indoor settings.
Is Xerjoff Sixth Floor suitable for office wear?+
Because of its strong sillage and bold mentholated opening, Sixth Floor works better for formal evening dinners and weekend events than quiet office cubicles. One light spray under clothing is essential if worn in tight workplace environments.
Is Xerjoff Sixth Floor unisex or leaning feminine?+
The composition balances unisex elements across its wear lifecycle. The opening eucalyptus and base tobacco patchouli lean masculine, while the tuberose and orange blossom heart feels feminine. Anyone who appreciates complex oriental floral perfumes can wear it.
Can you layer Xerjoff Sixth Floor with other perfumes?+
Layering is not recommended due to the dense note structure of eucalyptus, tuberose, and chocolate patchouli. Adding another scent creates muddy clashing accords, so it is best worn solo to appreciate its natural six-hour evolution.
How does Sixth Floor compare to Xerjoff 1888?+
Both fragrances share a nostalgic root beer spice impression, but 1888 focuses on carnation and sandalwood. Sixth Floor introduces creamy tuberose in the heart and transitions into a much darker chocolate, tobacco, and patchouli dry-down.
Why is Xerjoff Sixth Floor so expensive?+
Sixth Floor was created exclusively for the Harrods Salon de Parfums in London using high natural oil concentrations. Small batch production, luxury gold crystal packaging, and limited boutique distribution contribute directly to its premium pricing.
Is Xerjoff Sixth Floor a good choice for a blind buy?+
Blind buying is risky due to the distinct eucalyptus top note and heavy patchouli base. The sharp shift from medicinal citrus to creamy floral and dark chocolate requires testing on skin to ensure compatibility with your personal taste.
