Al-Khat

by Chris Maurice

Xerjoff Al-Khat is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2012, created by Chris Maurice. Al-Khat settles into a heart of Jasmine. 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.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its nuclear projection and strong animalic accords make it unsuitable for office wear, where discretion is key. However, its 'sex in a bottle' appeal and opulent nature make it ideal for date nights and formal evening events, leaving a lasting, memorable impression.

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.
