Pure art in a bottle. Xerjoff achieved that ‘dehumanization’ Ortega y Gasset praised: it doesn’t smell like a person, it smells like a myth. Luxor awakens the irrational part of the brain, just like sacred incense—not for the club, but for solemn moments. It’s expensive and challenging, but if you give it a chance, it will fall in love with you. The oud is tamed by the incense; it’s not dirty like other scents from the house, and it lasts forever. A masterpiece that will accompany you for years.
The previous review is a poem and an essay. I’ll buy a decant solely inspired by Angelmaius’s words.
Perfume art. Ortega y Gasset once said in ‘The Dehumanization of Art’ that an object is artistic as long as it is not real. The artist creates the work for aesthetic pleasure by detaching themselves from their own humanity. Xerjoff has achieved this level of detachment. If incense was once used to exalt the Divine, Luxor has awakened the brain’s neurotransmitters only activable by our most irrational and ethereal side. It’s not an easy fragrance, nor is it made for those who just want to smell good; just as there is no Guernica or Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring to decorate a wall or dance to in a disco. If you give it a chance and appreciate the spirituality of the incense, you’ll understand the wonderful work of art behind this blend of notes leading to ‘dehumanization.’ Artworks are expensive, and Luxor is very pricey, but thanks to its longevity and sillage, it will last you many years, even if its lack of versatility limits it to solemn occasions. Despite the prominent oud, it’s not animalic or dirty like Alexandria Oriental from the same house or the legendary The Night by Frederic Malle; the incense tames it, dominating the entire life of the scent until you shower. Its longevity is endless. A fragrance essential to know.
Nothing, nothing… from the very first spray, it’s fecal oud that at times reminds me of a lighter version of Oud by Bvlgari. After an hour, that stench fades, leaving behind more pleasant woods, tobacco, and leather. I tested one spray on my skin at a counter, and one person openly told me it smelled bad; two others standing nearby agreed.
Nothing, nothing… from the very first spray, it smells like fecal oud, similar to Burgas but lighter.

I sprayed one on ECI and someone openly told me I smelled bad; the two people next to me agreed too. 😅
We ordered several decants with my partner to explore oud fragrances. Unfortunately, Luxor doesn’t just smell animalic; it feels like a recreation of a stable. It smells horrendous with a penetrating odor of feces. The worst part is that the stench doesn’t fade; it’s incredibly persistent. It seemed like a joke that such an expensive, pretentious perfume could smell like paying billions for jars of artist feces. Thinking it might just be our perception, we let everyone in the apartment smell it: siblings, friends, and partners. Only one person said it smelled like a horse rather than feces; the rest felt great disgust and couldn’t shake the stench. Don’t buy this expecting to please others; you might impress, but better avoid it so people don’t think you had an accident in the bathroom.
We ordered decants with my partner, and Luxor doesn’t just smell animalistic—it smells like a stable. It’s horrendous, with penetrating, sharp notes of feces. The worst part is that the stench never goes away; it’s very persistent. It seemed like a joke paying so much for jars filled with ‘artist excrement.’ We tested all of them at home: only one person said it smelled like a horse, while the rest felt great disgust and couldn’t get the fecal scent off their skin. Don’t buy it expecting to like it; you might impress, but it’s better to avoid it so it doesn’t look like you had a bathroom accident.
Luxor by Xerjoff is a woody, spicy fragrance built around oud and incense. At first, the oud is very woody and dark with a fleeting animalic touch. The incense is prominent in the opening, smoky and dark, highlighting the sweet facet of the Thai oud. Tobacco and leather are slightly perceptible, adding a darker, rougher edge. Cinnamon and cardamom prevent it from feeling too harsh; their warm, sweet accord achieves a perfect balance. The oud is present throughout, with woody nuances reminiscent of antique furniture. As it develops, myrrh becomes more noticeable alongside the tobacco, while leather and incense soften. In the dry down, it settles into a woody, spicy oriental scent without the initial darkness. It’s deep and evokes an ancient Middle Eastern city filled with incense, oud, and spices. Longevity is 8 to 10 hours with moderate projection.
Woody and spicy, this is Luxor. It opens with a dark, animalic oud that fades to leave smoky, sweet incense. A touch of tobacco and leather gives it a rough edge, but cinnamon and cardamom soften it with incredible warmth. It smells like antique furniture and ancient Middle Eastern cities. Myrrh emerges later, ending in a dry, elegant oriental. Lasts 8 to 10 hours with moderate projection.
Having Alexandria Orientale, I thought that since it’s part of the Oud Stars series, there would be a perceptible oud. Well, no: there’s only 70% smoke, 10% cinnamon, and 20% tobacco. The longevity is about 6 hours, projecting maybe 20 to 30 minutes. It’s a pleasant fragrance, it doesn’t smell bad if you don’t mind the smoke. It’s very shy and has a short life. I don’t recommend it, it’s not worth it.
I feel like I walked all the way to Luxor and came back. What a journey with this fragrance. Like others, my first impression wasn’t positive, unless it’s ‘I hate these liquid excrement positively.’ It made me think of a recluse ‘farting’ at a guard. What the hell was this? But it seems the manure does magic with the roses. Usually, I don’t enjoy leather, but this plus prepared me for a challenge. When I wore it, the poop note dissipated (like a fart in an elevator). This beast has energy and lasts all day. I ordered my ‘Caution: Toxic Gas’ sign and kept it under lock and key. Months later, the ‘assault of shit’ note was gone. Something killed the beast, perhaps air oxidation. Once sprayed a couple of times, the aroma fixed itself.
With Luxor, I took a long turn and something similar happened to other comments. The first time, with little experience with oud, it seemed strange and not pleasant at all. Years later, I tried ‘Thailand Oud in Cairo’ by Ministry of Oud and it was exquisite, but it was inspired by Luxor. Upon revisiting it, it wasn’t challenging but pleasant and potent. I love the aroma of cinnamon, cardamom, and leather, with a base of tobacco, myrrh, and oud; sometimes strong, but nothing terrible or fecal. It’s an elegant, spicy, sweet, and fluid leather, ideal for cold weather, a bit masculine, with good performance. It’s oriental and you have to test it well because it has many facets. It deserves more than one chance to appreciate its worth. The important thing is to be comfortable with the fragrance. Note: 8/10, tested with an official sample from Twisted Lilly.
With Luxor, I took a long journey and something curious happened: at first, it seemed strange to me, but years later, when I tried a Thai oud that was inspired by this, I finally understood its value. It’s powerful yet pleasant, packed with spiced leather, cinnamon, and cardamom. The tobacco and myrrh base can be strong at times, but nothing fecal. It’s elegant, sweet, and fluid—perfect for cold weather with good projection. It’s an oriental that requires patience to appreciate; you have to give it a proper try. Rating: 8/10.
I had high expectations and made the mistake of buying it blind. I got it at a great price, it was almost new (99%), but my disappointment was huge. The bottle is beautiful, but the scent is too animalistic and fecal, going from challenging to disgusting. On paper and on skin, it’s the same: the fecal note persists above all else, at least on my skin. I own several oud perfumes that I like, but none disappointed me as much as this. Don’t buy it blind if you don’t want to smell like you didn’t make it to the bathroom in time.
The best fecal oud I’ve ever tried, though the longevity let me down. Going straight to test it was a good idea: on paper, I barely noticed cinnamon, but on skin, it was a revelation. It smells like pig manure (I know this from living in a village) with a hint of sweet cinnamon only at the start, for the first hour. It’s unpleasant for many and surprising in Xerjoff, which usually makes synthetic fruity scents. After that hour, the fecal note disappears, leaving an elegant aroma with leather, myrrh, and woods; it’s hard to find anyone who would deem it bad taste. I recommend it only to those who know oud and are looking for a step up, without buying large formats without testing it first.
The best fecal oud I’ve tried, though the longevity let me down. On paper, I noticed little, but on skin it was a unique experience: it smells like pig manure with a sweet cinnamon twist in the first hour. It’s unpleasant for many, and it’s rare for Xerjoff to take such a risk, leaving behind their synthetic fruity scents. But after that hour, the stench disappears, leaving an elegant trail of leather, myrrh, and woods. Hard to dislike after that, but I expected more from start to finish. Recommended only for oud connoisseurs looking to go one step further.
