The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2012, Al Khat by Xerjoff is an Oriental Floral fragrance created by perfumer Chris Maurice. It opens with the luminous brightness of white florals, which soon melds into a warm embrace of amber and vanilla, providing a rich, enveloping base. The inclusion of oud adds a sophisticated depth, while powdery and musky notes lend a soft, comforting quality to the overall composition. This fragrance exemplifies Xerjoff's commitment to using the finest ingredients in their distinctive blends.

How to wear it

Apply two sprays to ensure the white floral top notes have enough presence before giving way to the rich base. This fragrance blooms gradually over time, so it's best appreciated close to skin rather than from across a room.
