Ilm by Xerjoff is a composition crafted by Chris Maurice that marries the rich intensity of Laotian oud with woody and mossy accords. The scent opens with the deep, smoky essence of Laotian oud, which intertwines seamlessly with gurjan balsam and Australian sandalwood to create a warm, enveloping heart. This fragrance is not just about its individual notes but their harmonious blend, culminating in an ambergris and oakmoss base that adds an animalic depth, making it both luxurious and enigmatic.

Application Tips
Apply Ilm sparingly to let its layers unfold naturally. The Laotian oud is powerful, so a light spray on pulse points will ensure that the smoky richness and woody depth are present without overpowering. Allow it to develop close to your skin for the best experience.
