DESCRIPTION
Khadijah is one of the most hypnotic fragrances we've come across. It instantly grabs your attention and then doesn't let go.
At its heart is night-blooming jasmine; a flower rarely used in fine perfumery, not because it lacks beauty, but because it's notoriously difficult to distill as its so delicate. Its essential oil is almost impossible to extract in usable form, and when it is, the result is powerful, green, and intensely indolic. But given time, that intensity mellows into something extraordinary: creamy, honeyed, and hypnotic, with a soft caramel-like undertone that wraps itself around the skin.
This richness is paired with the notes of champaca, one of the most precious oils in perfumery. Champaca adds depth, bringing a subtle fruit and magnolia-like brightness that smooths and softens the jasmine without overpowering it.
Together, they create a beautiful, sensual fragrance with notes of lilac, orange flower, and neroli lifting through the composition. A soft musk-like undercurrent gives it beautiful depth, while a faint citric brightness makes it feel alive, perfect for spring and summer.
Out of all the releases this season, this is the one I keep reaching for.
