Which Should You Buy?
This one's a proper marmite fragrance - you'll either love its boozy, spicy plum goodness or be utterly repulsed by what some call 'ketchup' or 'Christmas potpourri'. Definitely one to try before you buy, it's divisive and for good reason.
XI Time chases Byredo's Eleventh Hour - that peppery bergamot and wild fig over cashmere woods and warm tonka. The spicy-fruity, contemplative mood comes through, but it renders flatter with softer projection, sketching the niche original's smooth woody depth rather than fully matching it.
