The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2023 by Xerjoff, Hayat is a woody and spicy fragrance that captures the essence of an opulent journey through the senses. Created by perfumer Chris Maurice, this scent opens with a vibrant burst of lavender and bitter orange, providing a fresh contrast to the rich warmth of saffron and cardamom in its heart. The base notes of agarwood (oud), cypriol oil, and patchouli create an earthy and enveloping aroma that lingers on the skin long after application.
Apply Hayat to your pulse points for a warm, lingering effect. The citrus and aromatic top notes will fade within an hour, giving way to a rich woody base that continues to evolve throughout the day. Best worn in cooler weather or during the evening when its earthy warmth is most pronounced.
