Xerjoff Luxor is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020, created by Chris Maurice. Luxor opens with Leather, Cardamom, and Cinnamon, settles into a heart of Cedar, Tobacco, Myrrh, and Incense, and dries down to a base of Cypriol Oil or Nagarmotha, Oud, and Patchouli. Xerjoff's Luxor carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

Luxor is a challenging, divisive scent that demands patience. Its opening is often described as off-putting, even 'fecal', but those brave enough to push through are rewarded with a rich, complex dry-down. Definitely try before you buy, it's not for the faint of heart.

Scent Profile

Composition

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

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Luxor's strong, animalic opening and significant projection make it inappropriate for office or casual wear. It's best suited for formal events or evening dates where its luxurious complexity can be appreciated, especially given its impressive longevity.

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

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

Luxor opens with a pungent blast of leathery spice, driven by cardamom and cinnamon. This intense start mellows into a heart of rich cedar, smoky incense, and dry tobacco, with a hint of earthy myrrh. The true magic unfolds in the long dry-down, where multifaceted oud takes centre stage, underscored by dark patchouli and the unique earthiness of cypriol, creating an ancient, mysterious aroma.
