This is Xerjoff's divisive honey-oud beast. Some find it a rich, luxurious gourmand, while others recoil from its frankly urinal funk. It's a bold scent not for the faint of heart, promising an unforgettable journey, whether you love it or hate it.

440 chases Tom Ford's Velvet Orchid closely - honeyed rum and mandarin up top, a huge black orchid and white-floral heart, vanilla and suede underneath. It opens sweeter and simpler than the original's dense, layered bouquet, and thins out much sooner, but the boozy-floral-vanilla character is a fair likeness for the price.
