The latest addition to the Xerjoff Shooting Stars collection, Gibeon follows the theme of celestial inspiration that connects the entire range to the cosmos. Soothing, yet curiosity-piquing at the same time, Gibeon is named after a meteorite with a fascinating story. Through its powdery, ethereal scent, it reflects the mystique of its namesake.

The Gibeon meteorite crash-landed in Namibia in prehistoric times, scattering iron fragments across the Kalahari desert. It was first documented by Western scientists in 1836 and declared a national monument in 1950, but had long been known to the local Nama people, who nad been crafting spearheads and tools from it for centuries - perhaps even millenia.

The meteorite fragments reveal a strikingly beautiful, geometric crystal pattern - the natural result of cooling over millions of years in space - when cut or polished, giving then an intriguing, otherwordly appearance. This rare beauty is echoed in the enchanting scent of Gibeon.
 
Gibeon opens with the soft powderiness of neroli, a quality that becomes even more evident as the note of Tuscan orris comes through at the heart and defines the composition with its luxurious, velvety caress.
The complementary pairing of Madagascan vanilla and tonka bean ensures Gibeon retains its smoothness until the very end, with clean musk and the warm, balsamic nuances of cedarwood completing a dreamlike base.

Within the ornate coffret of every Shooting Stars collection perfume lies a very special gift: a certified meteorite fragment, borh billions of years ago at the same time as the solar system.
A genuine piece of the cosmos to keep forever.
