Released in 2014, Red Hoba by Xerjoff is woody, warm spicy, musky perfume with amber undertones. Crafted by Chris Maurice. It opens with bergamot, cardamom and cinnamon, transitions through heart notes of incense, jasmine, orris and patchouli, and settles into a warm base of cashmeran, castoreum, guaiac wood, labdanum, musk and papyrus. Projection Monster and performance is long lasting 8+ hours.

Red Hoba is a bold, warm fragrance with a surprising sweetness that cuts through the spicier notes. Its longevity is impressive, easily lasting a full workday, and the sillage is noticeable but not overwhelming making it suitable for both office and social settings. I find myself reaching for it on cooler evenings, it smells particularly good with a leather jacket.
