The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2012 by Xerjoff, Kampuchea Noir is a bold and captivating Oriental Woody fragrance for both women and men, crafted by perfumer Chris Maurice. The composition centers around oud, with its rich and smoky character, supported by fresh spicy notes that add an unexpected edge to the woody base. This contrast between warmth and freshness creates a dynamic scent profile that feels both intimate and expansive.

How to wear it

Kampuchea Noir is best applied in moderation; the rich oud base can be overpowering if overapplied. A single spray allows the fragrance to evolve naturally throughout the day, with the woody warmth becoming more pronounced as the spicy top notes fade.
