Perfumes and Colognes reflect the intensity of aromatic compounds in a mix of ethanol and water. The most common intensities used by perfumers are parfum, eau de parfum, eau de toilette, eau de cologne. Parfum has between 15% to 25% of aromatic compounds; eau de parfum has between 10% and 20%; eau de toilette has between 4% to 15%; and eau de cologne has between 2% and 5%. Givenchy Xeryus has the eau de toilette intensity, hence has between 4% and 15% of aromatic compounds.

All perfumes and colognes can be classified into one of fourteen different Families according to the Fragrance Wheel. The Fragrance Wheel is a classification system, which was created by Michael Edwards in 1983. Xeryus Givenchy is a member of the Aromatic Family. What separates this Family from the others is its more distinctive use of lavender and aromatic herbs.

There are four more subdivisions within each Fragrance Family. These subdivisions are called Fresh, Crisp, Classical, and Rich. Fresh is the brightest and highest interpretation of the Family, and Rich is the deepest and richest interpretation. Xeryus Cologne is part of the Crisp interpretation of the Aromatic Family.

The life of every fragrance progresses through three stages. They are referred to as Top Notes, Middle Notes, and Base Notes. These stages are a result of the varying levels of volatility of the Fragrance Notes that make up a fragrance. In other words, some fragrance ingredients in Xeryus will evaporate faster than others, therefore producing different impressions at certain stages of its life on the skin.

Top Notes are light, volatile and evaporate quickly. They are a fragrance’s initial impression and last around 10 to 20 minutes. The Top Notes for Givenchy Xeryus are Rose, Lemon, Lavender, Green Notes, Mandarin Orange, Violet, Jasmine, Nutmeg Flower, Ylang-Ylang, Lily of the Valley and Bergamot.

Middle Notes emerge when the Top Notes dissipate. Middle Notes are known for being the key scent for a perfume. Coriander, Cyclamen, Carnation, Cypress, Sandalwood, Juniper Berries, Geranium, Terragon, Petit Grain and Cinnamon are the Middle Notes for the perfume Xeryus Givenchy.

The Base Notes are the longest lasting qualities of a perfume. The Base Notes for Xeryus Cologne are Leather, Amber, Musk, Oakmoss, Balsam Fir, Vetiver, Incense and Cedar.

Here are some suggestions of other fragrances you may like that are in the Aromatic Family as Xeryus: Cuba Maya by Fragluxe, Curve Kicks by Liz Claiborne, Daddy Yankee for Men, Dakar by Parfums Paris Dakar, California by Dana.
