Birdie

Birdie by Xerjoff is a deeply earthy, green-woody fragrance that evokes the atmosphere of a quiet golf course—damp soil, weathered grass, sun-warmed sand, and a sense of pastoral solitude. It opens with a sharp, petrichor-like greenness and patchouli that carries a faintly musky, slightly soiled quality reminiscent of old tents or a garden shed, though the more refined notes of lavender and vetiver add a subtle elegance. The heart elevates the scent with a warm, ambery sand note that feels enveloping and softly textured, not gritty or dirty, but rather like sun-warmed earth beneath a quiet field at dawn. By the dry down, the fragrance is more subdued but still carries the narrative of rustic naturalism, with a delicate sweetness that lingers beneath the earthy base. Its projection is strong and sullen early on, lasting well beyond six hours, making it suitable for day or night wear, especially in spring and autumn. The fragrance is clearly unisex in character, though some find it leans slightly masculine due to its earthiness, while others describe it as quietly refined and unusually elegant for such a raw theme. It's not for the faint of nose—those uncertain about patchouli or extremely naturalistic scents should approach with caution—but for the lovers of quiet, earth-toned complexity, it's a rare and memorable experience.
