Sote Xerjoff Richwood

I've worn this several times, and I keep looking for the missing wow factor. I have more of my decant to go through, but unless I have some sort of epiphany, Richwood won't make the full-bottle cut for me.

Relaxing at home after work I liberally applied this popular Xerjoff creation. It goes on dry and sharp, with a cedar-oud kind of smell. At 1 hour the patchouli brings an earthy, spicy, floral note. The character of the blend stays intact, and it doesn't change much. Sillage & projection is moderate for 1.5 hrs, then it becomes very mild by the 3 hr mark, and is a decent skin scent by 5 hrs.

I guess the overall fragrance is just OK for me. It's good, deep, and somewhat interesting. Performance is so-so, and is well suited for an evening out in colder weather. Definitely worth a sample, but it doesn't strike any chords in me.
