Xerjoff Jabir is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023, created by Chris Maurice. Jabir opens with Violet, Freesia, and Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Rose, Lily of the Valley, and Peony, and dries down to a base of Musk, Vetiver, Oud, and Patchouli. Xerjoff's Jabir carries an Acquired verdict, a floral-led wear.

Prepare for a proper love-it-or-hate-it scenario with Jabir. This isn't a safe blind buy; some find it a masterful floral oud, others recoil at what they perceive as genuinely unpleasant, skanky notes. You'll either adore its complexity or think it smells like an animal farm. Expect strong reactions, no in-between.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter
Also Works:
Spring

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its potent sillage and intense oud and floral character, Jabir is best reserved for formal evening events or special dates where it can make a bold statement without overwhelming smaller spaces. Many reviews warn against wearing it in an office setting or casual outings due to its divisive nature and strong projection.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Jabir kicks off with a fresh, peppery floral burst of violet, freesia, and pink pepper. The heart unfurls into a rich bouquet where velvety rose, delicate lily of the valley, and soft peony take centre stage. As it dries, a deep, earthy foundation emerges: oud and patchouli mingle with creamy vanilla, grounded by vetiver and a musky warmth. The overall impression is a complex, dense floral oud, both refined and raw.
