Xeryus (named after Greek god) in red version became deeper & more sensual. This is the first oriental perfume for men by Givenchy. Top notes are fresh & green thanks to kumquat, cactus & tarragon. The warm perfumed heart is made from cedar needles, red pimento & African pelargonium, which adds a spicy or even hot nuance to the composition. The base is precious & austere: cedar, sandalwood, white musk, grey amber. The perfume was created by Annick Menardo in 1995.
