Al-Khat

Al-Khat is a bold, opulent oriental fragrance that opens with a powerful, fecal-tinged jasmine and oud blend, creating a strong, animalic effect that many describe as barnyard or horse manure-like. This intense initial impression fades gradually over the first 30 minutes, giving way to a luxurious, creamy heart of jasmine, vanilla, and benzoin that lingers for hours. The drydown reveals a warm, woody-sweet base with cashmeran, amber, and oakmoss, adding depth and a subtle musky-processed quality without triggering extreme skankiness for all users. Over time, the fragrance transforms into a complex, transformative experience—some perceive a velvety, honeyed-amber trail reminiscent of vintage gourmands, while others detect only a faint hint of musk and sweetness. Longevity and sillage are exceptional, with projections remaining noticeable hours after application, making it ideal for colder seasons and night wear. It is a duality-driven scent—on one hand, it is strikingly exotic and intimate; on the other, it commands attention and can feel overwhelming in crowded environments. It is not for the faint of heart or those unfamiliar with natural oud; yet for lovers of deep floral-oud compositions, Al-Khat represents a modern, daring expression of Arabian perfumery with raw character and opulent transformation.
