Jabir
Saffron and pink pepper open Jabir with a spiced warmth that feels specific and well-sourced before the oud heart arrives with orris and jasmine. The orris in particular shapes the oud's character here: its powdery, floury quality gives the resinous wood a softer register than oud typically occupies. Rose adds warmth without sweetness, and patchouli in the base deepens the amber and sandalwood into something earthy and lasting. The gold-calligraphed black bottle is weighty in the hand, as the fragrance is weighty on skin.
Why We Carry This
Morillas's orris-oud combination in Jabir's heart is the technical signature that distinguishes this from more generic oriental compositions. The patchouli-amber base gives it longevity and depth. Among the XJ 17/17 collection, Jabir is the entry most suited to the client who wants oud with a floral-spiced frame rather than raw resin.
