Xerjoff Zafar, launched in 2012, is a bold Oriental‑Woody perfume that opens with a spicy burst of black pepper and rose. The heart blends floral neroli and white flowers with a rich Laotian oud, while the dry‑down settles into a smoky, musky base of cedar, vetiver, incense and a deep oud finish, giving the fragrance a powerful, commanding presence.
