Xerjoff Kampuchea Noir is a fragrance launched in 2012, created by Chris Maurice. Kampuchea Noir opens with Pepper and Saffron, settles into a heart of Oud, Patchouli, and Rose, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, and Sandalwood. Xerjoff's Kampuchea Noir carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

This is a ridiculously expensive, 'for-your-eyes-only' oud. You'll either get it, or you won't. And if you don't 'get it', then this isn't for you.

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

An autumn-weather scent at heart - warm leaves and shorter days territory.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its extreme cost and focus on personal enjoyment, this scent excels in formal or intimate date settings rather than casual or sporty ones. While it's not a loud projector, its unique character might be distracting in an office environment.

About

Kampuchea Noir is all about a singular, breathtaking Cambodian oud, pure and unadulterated. Hints of warm, earthy woodiness offer depth, adding nuanced layers to the central oud accord. It's an intimate, rich experience that's less about projection and more about luxurious, personal enjoyment.
