Xerjoff - Oud Stars - Alexandria II
The Building of a dream
It is the invisible city built as the realm of the gods’ wood. It is an amphiteatre erected to stage our intoxicating passions, the cult of one’s own essence, the crossroads of rites celebrating opulence as their religion. It is the incense burning in the dark like eyes filled with passion, and a love letter so long as to fill up a whole library.
It is the intimacy of a blooming rose, the missing half of the apple, the gentle strength of the cedar, the lethal temptation of the lily of the valley. It is a river of passion flowing in the middle of a town. The mature Cambodian oud enters the nostrils like a queen entering her court announced by gong chimes, her trail more precious than gold.
Welcome to Alexandria: the most beautiful siege in history
The new fragrance in the Oud Stars collection from Xerjoff
Oud Stars is an extended line of six perfumes based on the Xerjoff XJ Shooting Stars line.
Entirely dedicated to the traditions of Arabian perfume making, the Oud Stars collection is created with prestigious distillations of pure oud from plantations in Laos, Cambodia and Borneo.
The extensive research and limited production of Oud Stars has been developed with the firm intention of creating a special collection faithful to the traditions of Arabian perfume making while integrating the luxurious style and creativity of Xerjoff perfumes.
The name of each perfume has been linked to an ancient book called “The Travels of Ibn Battuta” written in 1325 AD. Ibn Battuta, also known as the Marco Polo of the Arabian world, described the life and culture of many cities from North Africa to the Far East leaving a great written testimony of that era. Zafar, Al-khatt, Mamluk, Gao, Najaf and Fars are ancient cities chosen as the names for the Oud Stars Collection.
