This perfume is a true marvel, an exquisite oriental. The name is very apt: more than words are needed to describe it. It’s complex and of incredible quality, reminding me of ‘Nada’ by Swiss Arabian and ‘Jannah’ by Al Haramain, as if we mixed both from the start. The opening is very incense-heavy, a strange mix of smoked and resinous fresh fruit, exquisite and addictive. Then, subtly, it transforms into the heart of ‘Nada’: woods with floral-spiced nuances and ambergris. Finally, it becomes the dry down of ‘Jannah’: natural pine resin and toasted pine nuts. It’s dynamic, complex, and olfactorily exquisite. Incredible longevity, surpassing 12 hours, with a dizzying trail at the start and then moderate but noticeable. Perfect for cold climates and night. It’s expensive, but offers incredible performance and quality, although it’s out of reach for many wallets, a shame.
It’s very similar to UNUM-Lavs. It opens with balsamic incense and a fruity touch; after a few minutes, it’s a clean, pleasant incense, which I appreciate because incense usually gives me a headache. It has a golden warmth reminiscent of myrrh, even though it’s not listed. I didn’t detect the oud, despite being an enthusiast. The trail is tremendously long-lasting and perfect for autumn-winter. It leans more towards the masculine side.
More Than Words belongs to the ‘Join the Club’ collection with literary inspiration. Base of salty-sweet synthetic ambergris and animalic notes, fruity and floral accents, and a woody synthetic oud. It’s not a strong or difficult oud, ideal for beginners. Labdanum and incense add nuances, but everything revolves around the ambergris. The vintage version smells like mulled wine, so maybe it was reformulated. It leaves a boozy rose impression even though it’s not mentioned. It’s a nice, pleasant perfume that deserves to be known. If you like Oud Satin Mood, you’ll probably like this. It has nothing to do with Unum-Lavs, but rather with Grazioso by Sospiro. The best in the collection in my opinion.
This perfume has a dual personality and overwhelming elegance. It’s a strange, dark, deep fruity incense, almost fecal like an ancient cave, that transforms into a syrupy fruit elixir, sensual and dangerous. It lasts a long time and changes until it becomes delicious on skin. It’s extremely elegant, artistic, and formal, but has something darkly attractive that makes it slightly improper. You can’t stop smelling it over and over again.
I love my first Xerjoff; it was a blind buy and I got lucky. It evolves a lot: starts with woods, oud, and spices, then an addictive sweetness of flowers and fruits I can’t identify. Hours later, the labdanum and frankincense make it unctuous and balsamic. It’s dark, bright, powerful, and long-lasting. A masculine unisex with balanced feminine sweetness and a seductive oud. Definitely a must-have in any collection.
After several tries, I never managed to enjoy it. Thank God I spent money on a 2ml sample. It comes off as strident, shrill, and maturely feminine, like a well-dressed lady. It’s just another oud-pink combo with a fruity touch, nothing special for the house. I don’t enjoy this blend nowadays, as it smells even in candles and room fresheners. Although I understand it’s a matter of taste, I dislike it from start to finish, and it lingers with you for hours with a brutal trail. Once sprayed, MTW lives with you.
I tested this hype in a decant two weeks ago. Projection and longevity are excellent: 5-6 hours at a distance and up to 8-9 hours on skin. The oud is elegant and wearable, with top-tier ingredients. But there’s a downside: the fermented fruity notes on my skin smell like Franziskaner beer. If you don’t want to smell like your favorite beer, ask for a decant before buying. Do not recommend blindly.
I’ve been testing oud for a year and tolerate it better when it has sweetness; this one has a slight amber touch that doesn’t sound fruity, but rather mysterious. It’s well-balanced and elegant, ideal for men and women, but not for everyday wear. I use it at night or in cold weather, and with the 15ml set, I have enough for a lifetime. It’s not for those seeking discretion.
Chris Maurice’s composition is interesting: oud and ambergris are very noticeable but don’t overpower the rest. They smell realistic despite being synthetic aromachemicals. The fruits add sweetness and make it unisex, though with a masculine touch. The trail is powerful and eyebrow-raising; perfect for cold weather, but beware of the trigger in heat. Lasts 7-8 hours on skin and longer on clothes. Pleasant and light for entering the oud club, though for the price, there are more relevant niche options.
If you like the rose-oud combo, More Than Words will be your favorite. Its scent is exquisite, with the rose taking the lead from the start, mixed with fruity notes that create the sensation of a rose with fruit jelly and a woody-oud base. Its strong point is longevity on skin, which exceeds 12 hours; with 4 or more sprays, the sillage is moderate to heavy. I bought a 15ml bottle and I think I’ll keep it; thanks to the longevity, I won’t need more for a long period.
More Than Words is pure poetry in a bottle: a pink and oud combo by Christian Carbonel that is refined, elegant, and addictive. When you wear it, words are unnecessary. Just be careful with the spray: here, less is more. My favorite in the collection, alongside 40 Knots.
Rose and oud with projection and longevity that are off the charts. It lasts perfectly all day without needing reapplication. Ideal for autumn and winter, cold climates. The scent is dense and particular. Watch out for the trigger; with little, it saturates.
The moment I applied it to my skin, it reminded me of another fragrance. Three minutes later, it was clear: 80% similar to Oud Satin Mood by Maison Francis Kurkdjian, of which I have a sample. When applying both to different hands, they are quite similar, especially after drying. Longevity is about eight hours on skin with a good sillage for the first three. Great ingredient quality. Highly recommended for lovers of the rose-oud combo. That said: this combo has something special and distinctive that makes it unique.
The first time I smelled it, I thought it was very simple, but now I just can’t stop wanting a big bottle!! More Than Words has a potent red rose from start to finish, accompanied by a very wearable and non-animal oud, reminiscent of the classic rose-oud combo, but here the rose is excessively acidic (thanks to juicy fruits), like a scented candle; synthetic, watch out, but it works great. On my skin, it’s linear, very long-lasting (easily 10 hours), and lasts on clothes even after washing. Within its simplicity, it’s very elegant, unisex, and perfect for the night. It evokes a man in a custom black suit wandering through a cold night. Perfect for a wedding. If you’re looking for something similar but less heavy on rose oil and acidity, try Dolce&Gabbana Mysterius Of The Night: it’s the same scent but better assembled and less rough.
I think it’s an excellent fragrance for women; it’s an aromatherapy-style rose. I wouldn’t wear it myself, but my wife loved it. It has excellent performance.
Of the classic rose and oud combos, this one takes the top spot. There’s nothing new under the sun, but that fruity touch makes it super special. So elegant. It’s impossible to go unnoticed with this.
The same fruit, power, and projection as Erba Pura, but swapping the citrus for flowers and the musk for oud.
Curiously, I barely notice the rose. Perhaps the oud wood, labdanum, or amber/musk cover it up and I can’t perceive it clearly. I do notice the fruity aspect, but there’s something that bothers me and I can’t exactly identify what it is. Based on other perfumes I’ve tried that give me the same sensation, it must be one of those three ingredients. I’ll wait to try Erba Pura to see if it fixes what’s missing or what’s too much. Cheers.
A beautiful light oud, illuminated by flashes of floral and fruity notes. Pure oud is usually dark and penetrating, but mixing it with fruit and flowers makes it accessible, tender, and cheerful. These very different notes create an excellent symbiotic relationship. It’s the easiest way to enjoy oud thanks to that woody-fruity contrast, just like tobacco with mint. Complementary scents that create a super pleasant new olfactive line; those are the perfumes you can’t stop sniffing the wrist of.
It’s the classic pink-oud duo with a fermented fruity and spicy twist that, at times, smells like sweet dessert wine; a detail that makes it unique. Although I’m not usually very formal, I agree with everyone here: More Than Words conveys elegance and class, perfect for events where you need to dress to match. It’s worth every euro for its distinctive scent, presentation, longevity, and exclusivity; undoubtedly a great work by Christian Carbonnel.
I must admit, I love Oud, regardless of its origin. It’s a fascinating raw material, the Everest peak in perfumery. We should thank Christian Carbonnel (Chris Maurice), a true Oud master who knows how to handle it, not just here, but in all his creations. My sincerest congratulations; I really enjoy his work. Without a doubt, many brands, especially Xerjoff, have succeeded thanks to him. What else? That signature mark of Chris is truly SPECTACULAR, as my compatriot Andrés says. Without a doubt, my favorite perfumer.
I smelled it today. I didn’t like it at all.
When you say a perfume has an Oud and rose base, you know roughly where it’s going. This is not the case with Xerjoff. It’s a sweet, amber, and fruity aroma that makes More than Words a western version of the Oud-rose combo (or unspecified floral notes). As expected, the performance is excellent: outstanding longevity lasting hours and a sillage of 1 to 1.5 meters (it’s not beast mode, nor is that its intention). Elegant and sophisticated, leaning unisex, it’s worth trying at least once to see how a European Oud smells.
I don’t like it; it reminds me of a syrup I took as a child. It must have high quality, but it’s a matter of taste. I have another one in the same style, Prada Amber Intense, and I prefer that one.
More than Words by Xerjoff is an amber, fruity, and floral fragrance with a resinous and dark base. It opens with varied fruits that aren’t perceived individually but wrapped in an alcohol similar to fermentation, but in a good way. It’s a distinct and strange, yet pleasant aroma. It can remind you of a sweet wine with fruity and warm nuances. Over time, the rose emerges, accompanied by amber and spices, creating a unique and special spicy, warm rose accord. The Oud is in the background, adding darkness and depth that highlights the sweetness. It doesn’t feel woody or complex, just like a base that envelops and elevates. It’s oriental; it may please or displease, it’s different and unique. Longevity and projection are incredible: over 10 hours at a distance and 8 hours close to the skin.
The opening is a kick in the mouth, no one can like it. For me, forgive me? What a horror. Then it changes; the dry-down is a completely different story. A much more enjoyable scent. In my opinion, it’s feminine. A feminine Oud, fruity and special. It has floral touches that adorn, but above all, it smells like Oud and a fruit medley. It’s true that these Ouds are already saturated, but as Caesar’s things return to Caesar, it’s a very good Oud. If not for that strident opening, it would be one of the best for women.
I was going to order it blindly, but thanks to a sample they sent me in another purchase, I didn’t take the plunge. I didn’t like it at all; it leans too masculine. It’s strange because at its best, it’s my skin, but I can’t stand it. I don’t understand why, because I love all the notes… it’s grating. It’s one of the few that makes you scrunch up your nose immediately. Better to test before you commit.
It happened to me just like it did for Daima. I almost ordered it blindly several times, thank goodness I didn’t. I tried it today and what a disappointment. It doesn’t smell bad, but that mix of fruits and amber reminds me of Erba Pura, which I can’t stand. I had to take it off; it was tough because the longevity is brutal and it gave me a headache. I don’t see it as masculine; it’s unisex leaning feminine at the start, especially if you’re immersed in niche perfumes like Xerjoff. The Oud is very wearable, nothing challenging, highly westernized. For me, a resounding no. But it’s a fantastic fragrance with capital letters, not very original these days, but with undeniable quality.
Smells like Play-Doh. I’m not saying it’s bad; it’s one of my most iconic childhood scents.
When will the Oud trend finally end? Everything smells the same, but at least here the Oud stands out at first before softening without disappearing. The dry-down is another story: it smells like rose, even if they don’t list it. Total discrepancy.
A rose oud without much magic. First impression a bit strong. When perfumery has turned into leather-glove posturing to grab bottles, luxury marketing, influencers that are harder to understand, and prices that keep rising, I DEMAND MORE. All that paraphernalia creates dissonance when I smell perfumes and realize, yes, they can be a bit more refined and perform better, but they still leave a residue similar to other things on the market that don’t have those flaws. I can’t believe it has much high-quality natural raw material after smelling the dry down with depth; it reminded me a little of Ferrari Essence Oud. In the first two hours, it seems to have a better imprint, but as it dries, I find it hard to give it a rating worthy of what it’s supposed to represent. This isn’t what I’m looking for in perfumery.
Perfection!
What can I say about More than Words… I lack words, never better said. The opening can be intense for many, which can be a barrier or even generate rejection. In my view, it’s a mistake because the magic of the perfume starts after 15 minutes. It’s one of my favorite ouds, a twist on the typical rose oud that here has less rose. It’s more of a fruity oud, moderately sweet. The oud feels noble and nothing synthetic. It’s not comparable to ouds like The Night by Frederic Malle, which are animalic and strong; it goes another way, kinder, like the one Dior uses in their Private collection. Very elegant. I only wear it very dressed up or at formal events; it’s exactly for that. Duration is very acceptable; I wouldn’t call it “Beast Mode” but it’s at the limit. It lacks projection because the longevity is more than enough, but that’s normal with such heavy molecular notes without chemical boosters; that gives it formality, it’s “Quiet Luxury,” leaves an acceptable trail, and others will catch your message. It smells like luxury. It can project well for 2-3 hours. From the 3rd to 5th hour, it’s about 50 cm away. From the 5th to 10th hour, it’s skin-close but perfectly detectable. On clothes, it has brutal fixation for days. In short, a very good fragrance.
The combo of rose oud minus rose oud when adding those fruits. I prefer it to Oud Satin Mood; it looks spectacular in any situation, leaning formal. Spectacular performance, just like everything Sergio Momo does.
Smells like romance, luxury, and sensuality.
Although the site won’t let me add them, this perfume is almost identical to Mancera Aoud Vanilla and Fakhar Extrait de Lattafa, though those two have better performance. From Xerjoff: it’s a rich aroma with fascinating notes of oud and spices; I also notice a touch of vanilla and fruit. It has very good performance; I’ve worn it all day, over 12 hours. I see it as versatile, but I don’t recommend it in closed or hot places. 100% recommended. It’s very rich, but if you want the same scent for much less, look for Fakhar Extrait de Lattafa.
Don’t buy blind if you’re a woman; in my opinion, it’s unisex leaning masculine. I see it for someone 30 and up, with character and a big personality. It denotes authority, elegance, mystery, and can be seductive. Excellent quality and projection. I’ve read people compare it to Mancera Aoud Vanilla, but for me, they go in different directions.
It leaves me feeling a bit off; reminds me of Ombre Nomade but calmer (though ON came out later). It’s intense with a very wearable oud that adds elegance. The start has a resinous, amber sensation. The only thing that doesn’t work for me is that gummy candy sweet phase; when I smell it most, it feels out of place and drops several points in elegance and maturity. It’s not a bad scent, but that detail doesn’t convince me as much as it did with ON. Everything else is positive. Performance for cold weather and nights is quite good and wearable, though that sweet section penalizes it heavily. It grates on me. What a pity.
Exceptional fragrance. Opens with an intense oud that quickly blends with red fruits and rose, smelling ripe, sweet, and deep, almost like wine. The woody-oriental oud base is exquisite and the diffusion is brutal. I wore it in the afternoon, through the night, and even after a shower, it’s still the same. Flawless performance, outstanding trail. Perfect unisex: balsamic notes and oud stand out on men, while the fruity and rose notes shine on women. The price is outrageous, but it deserves to be the most expensive in my collection due to ingredient quality. The small bottle lasts as long as a big designer one. Wearable all year except in extreme heat. Only for making a statement, dates, or special events. If it’s in your budget and you want character, it’s a must.
It’s a beast. My first niche fragrance and it stays with me for a long time. I tried it after seeing a dupe and decided to go for the original. The oud opening is potent, accompanied by fermented fruits, like a forgotten basket spilling its juice. The rose shines among the florals. Hours later, it leaves a woody incense base, leaving the fruit behind to create a rich bubble. Its evolution is a box of surprises. Decent skin longevity, nothing beastly but enough; lasts all day on clothes. The trail is noticeable without being intrusive. Ideal for special occasions, though I already use it for casual outings.
