Xerjoff King Masarat is a fragrance launched in 2012, created by Chris Maurice. King Masarat opens with Blood Orange and Lavender, and dries down to a base of Vanilla. Xerjoff's King Masarat carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This Xerjoff attar is a divisive beast. Some find its oud-vanilla blend a sweet, sophisticated masterpiece, while others are put off by a 'synthetic' opening. Definitely one to sample before committing, but if it clicks, it really clicks.

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.

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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

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

Opens with an intriguing, slightly off-kilter dance of blood orange and lavender before settling into its opulent core. A rich oud-vanilla heart beats strongly, underscored by a soft, spicy warmth. Hints of rose weave through, adding a touch of floral elegance to the lingering, sweet base.
