Xerjoff Al-Khat is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2012, created by Chris Maurice. Al-Khat opens with Bergamot and Jasmine, settles into a heart of Cashmeran, and dries down to a base of Oud, Oakmoss, Vanilla, and Benzoin. Xerjoff's Al-Khat carries an Acquired verdict, a white floral-led wear.

Al-Khat is the definition of a love-it-or-hate-it fragrance, with its intensely animalic oud and indolic jasmine splitting opinions down the middle. This is a powerful, uncompromising scent for those who dare to be different, but definitely not a safe blind buy.

About

Opening with a bold, almost challenging, animalic oud, Al-Khat quickly introduces a rich, indolic jasmine that marries with the oud's earthiness, creating a deeply sensual and complex floral heart. This potent duo settles into a warm, inviting base of amber and vanilla, softened by powdery and woody hints, retaining a captivating and slightly dirty allure throughout its impressive lifespan.
