House of Bō Xuxu Parfum

What it smells like

Xuxú is a sparkling fruity gourmand — playful and celebratory. It opens with a pop of champagne, a spicy chili-pepper tingle and juicy clementine.

The heart is rich and whimsical, with Damask rose, blackberry, sweet macarons and bergamot-scented Earl Grey tea. The base is warm and cosy, with clean white musk, Mexican vanilla and a golden touch of saffron. It is a fun, effervescent fruity-gourmand with real character — sweet, spicy and joyful.

The full composition runs from top notes of Champagne, Chili Pepper, Clementine, through a heart of Rose, Blackberry, Earl Grey Tea, to a base of White Musk, Vanilla, Saffron — a fruity built to unfold slowly and wear close to the skin. The parfum is housed in House of Bō's signature bottle, finished with a hand-cut, semi-precious stone cap chosen to mirror the mood of the scent.

On skin its principal accords — Fruity, Sweet, Floral, Gourmand and Warm Spicy — layer into a rounded, characterful whole, and as a parfum-strength concentration it is built for rich projection and long wear. It is offered here in both a 40 ml and a larger 75 ml bottle.

Who made it

At House of Bō the emphasis is on the finished work rather than the name attached to it, and the composing perfumer for this fragrance is not publicly credited. What is consistent across the collection is the house's insistence on fine materials and characterful, artistic compositions — each scent developed to a cinematic brief and rendered with the same care whether or not the nose is named. The house has drawn on a roster of world-class perfumers across its line, and this fragrance sits comfortably alongside their work, sharing the same commitment to quality, craft and a distinctive point of view.

Who it’s for

For lovers of playful, sparkling fruity gourmands who want fun with a sophisticated twist. Largely feminine-leaning but wearable by all.

It suits those who love warm, sweet scents with real depth and a grown-up edge rather than simple sugar, and it wears comfortably on anyone; fully unisex.

When to wear it

Lovely from autumn through winter and from day into evening; its champagne, macarons and vanilla feel festive in cooler weather.

It comes into its own in autumn and winter and after dark, its warmth richest in cool weather and on evenings out, date nights and intimate dinners.
