Hayat in detail
Xerjoff, the Turin house founded by Sergio Momo, counts Hayat in its K Collection; its name means 'life' in Arabic. The house files it among its woody fragrances.
The official pyramid opens with Brazilian bitter orange, rendered as bigarade, Bulgarian lavender and Iranian saffron. The heart gathers amber, cardamom and Ceylon cinnamon. The base pairs Atlas cedar, cypriol, oud and patchouli.
Hayat is worn in the evening, in autumn and winter. It is a spicy, warm oud, brightened at the start by bitter orange and lavender; it will appeal to lovers of oriental ouds and suits a dinner or an evening out. Its cypriol adds an earthy, smoky depth.
Three woody fragrances in our catalogue share many of its materials: Harrods Aoud by Roja Parfums brings together cinnamon, cypriol, patchouli, cedar and oud; Epic Man by Amouage pairs cardamom, saffron, oud, patchouli and cedar; Decision 42, also by Amouage, combines cardamom, cinnamon, patchouli and cedar.
