Probably one of the top 5 Xerjoff fragrances. An indolic jasmine that’s literally on another level.

This one definitely has an oud that smells like poop at first. Loads of jasmine and vanilla mixed with that fecal scent at the start. After an hour, the poop side fades a bit; it was a risky investment, but the payoff is a very pleasant, sweet, and woody oud. A non-conventional fragrance, highly recommended; I think the aromatic assembly is flawless. Of course, if you smell it up close, the poop note lasts about two and a half hours and is noticeable, but the sillage is delightful. It feels exotic, bold, and sweet without falling into the vulgarity of tonka bean vanilla—it’s all about the vanilla and more. Perfume opinions are highly subjective, but my humble take: Khatt = floral, exotic, elegant, and with a sensual touch.

I noticed comments about this perfume when ordering a sample from the official house. I don’t really understand notes or olfactory families, but I love perfumes and the images they bring to mind. With this, I expected a good hit of jasmine, but no, it wasn’t the jasmine that impacted me; it was a huge stable smell!!!! Like a stable where you leave with your shoe sole stained, and as you walk, that smell follows you. I waited for it to dry, waited hours, and the perfume just wouldn’t stop smelling like that. Undoubtedly, this house uses select ingredients, and every fragrance seems spectacular to me. But this scent just didn’t work for me.

To me, Al-Khatt is the best Xerjoff perfume (at least of the ones I’ve tried). To start, it has the most exquisite, crafted, and sensual jasmine I’ve ever smelled anywhere. It’s a battle between two actors: a wild oud clashing head-on with an idyllic jasmine, and from that clash emerges something special, captured by a benzoin that acts as a supporting base. An accord is created between them and the rest of the notes, resulting in something unique. An elegant, unisex fragrance with a quality rare enough to carry the banner of its price and keep being worth it. Class and elegance without falling into austerity; it pleases everyone when it floats in the air. Rating: 10/10.
