About Richwood
Richwood is a grounded, fragrance from Xerjoff that leads with the crisp, open-air freshness of bergamot and grapefruit. The heart reveals the rich, resinous character of iris, anchoring the woody signature of the composition. The dry-down settles into a smooth, enduring base of labdanum — built for substance that lasts.
On skin, Richwood typically delivers excellent longevity (8+ hours) with moderate sillage — noticeable in close quarters. The price point — $450 at retail — reflects Xerjoff's positioning, packaging, and distribution overhead more than the cost of the formulation itself.
How to wear it
Legno Ricco fits cooler weather, casual-smart settings, and evening wear naturally. The woody base gives it staying power without being heavy.For best longevity, apply to pulse points (wrists, neck, behind the ears) on moisturised skin.
How we matched it
To build Legno Ricco, we reverse-engineered Richwood: cataloguing the woody architecture, isolating the bergamot top accord, the iris heart, the labdanum base. Then we composed our own version using the same ingredient grade most luxury houses work with — just without the layered markups that come after the bottle leaves the perfumer's bench.
Where it lands on skin: the same family character, comparable longevity (8+ hours), comparable sillage. Where it might diverge: a few accord choices in the top 30 minutes — fragrance is partly skin chemistry, and no two skins read a scent identically. That's true for Richwood too.
Standard across our line: Eau de Parfum concentration, vegan, cruelty-free, paraben-free. We're a perfumery, not a brand-marketing operation. The bottle costs what the juice costs.

What it costs per spray

Richwood
$0.75
per spray · ~600 sprays/bottle
Fragrenza
Legno Ricco
$0.11
per spray · ~600 sprays/bottle
A 60ml bottle averages around 600 sprays at 0.1ml apiece. That puts Legno Ricco at roughly $0.11 per spray and Richwood at retail around $0.75 per spray. The atomiser, the volume, the application — identical. The price-per-use is where the brand premium becomes visible.
Multiply that out across a year — three wears a week, two sprays each, around 312 actuations — and you're looking at roughly $36.39 of Legno Ricco versus roughly $234.00 of Richwood at retail. About $197.61 a year saved without changing how often you wear it, how you apply it, or what it smells like on you.
