Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Gold EDP
A divisive golden child. Some find it glorious, a syrupy, honeyed floral that projects magnificently. Others are simply appalled by its opening, describing it as 'dirty dishwater' or 'old and generic.' You'll either adore it or utterly detest it.

Our Verdict - Ceylon EDP
This is Xerjoff's take on a full-bodied, animalic oud, and it’s a proper Marmite scent. Expect strong opinions - some call it a masterpiece, others pure barnyard. Definitely not a blind buy unless you like a wild ride.

Season and Occasion Fit

Gold

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Winter
Also Works:
Summer Autumn

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its potent projection and long-lasting nature, coupled with its rich, warm floral and honey accords, make it less suitable for office wear. However, these qualities shine on dates and formal occasions, creating a memorable and sensual aura.

Ceylon

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its intense sillage and exceptional longevity, Ceylon is too overpowering for an office environment. This audacious scent thrives in formal settings or on a daring date night, where its rich, animalic warmth can truly stand out, but it's far too heavy for casual wear or sport.
