Which Should You Buy?
This Xerjoff is a divisive luxury take on a popular designer DNA, offering a sophisticated, creamy citrus that transitions into a boozy, vanilla finish. Is it worth the hefty price tag when superior, more accessible options exist? The community is split.
Luxor Summer is Alexandria UK's dupe of Xerjoff Uden, keeping the same citrus-rum-coffee opening the original is loved for, but the boozy-woody heart thins out faster and the ambergris base reads simpler and shorter than Uden's famously long-wearing dry-down.
