Karnak Temple: A Scent of Sacred Resonance

Inspired by the artistic icon, More Than Words from Xerjoff.

Karnak Temple is an unapologetic fragrance that carves a storyteller's aura. It is a scent so potent it feels carved in limestone, yet so wearable it slips from the boardroom to a lounge with regal ease.

The experience opens with a swirl of incense-rich Olibanum and leathery Labdanum, summoning torch-lit pillars at dusk. Moments later, thick ribbons of Agarwood (Oud) and salty-sweet Ambergris rise, mingling with sun-cured Dried Fig and Blackcurrant Resin for a mouth-watering twist. A whisper of Rose Petals softens the edges before everything fuses into a shadowy, resinous glow that clings to skin like myth itself.

As a highly concentrated Extrait de Parfum, Karnak Temple offers monumental depth and sunrise-to-starlight performance, making it the definitive choice when only oud power, fruity intrigue, and incense mystery will do.

Disclaimer: Our fragrances are our own artistic interpretations inspired by some of the world's most beloved scents. They are not exact copies, and we are not affiliated in any way with the original designer brands or their manufacturers. We do not sell fakes or counterfeit products. Scent is a personal experience and can vary on skin. To ensure a fragrance is the perfect match for you, we always recommend purchasing a sample pack before committing to a full bottle.

• Less is More: Our fragrances are concentrated Extraits. We recommend starting with just 2–3 sprays. You can always add more, but you can’t take it away!
• Target the Heat: Apply to your pulse points where your blood pumps near the surface (wrists, neck, inside elbows, and behind the ears). The heat helps project the scent.  
• Don't Rub: After spraying your wrists, avoid rubbing them together. This creates friction that can "bruise" the top notes and make them fade faster. Just spray and let it dry.  
• Hydrate First: Fragrance lasts longer on hydrated skin. For maximum longevity, apply an unscented moisturizer before spraying your perfume.  
• Storage: To keep your scent fresh, store the bottle in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and humidity (avoid the bathroom cabinet if possible).
