Which Should You Buy?
Divisive, opulent, and unequivocally mature - X for Men isn't for everyone, but those who 'get' it hail it as a masterpiece of spicy woods and refined masculinity. Others find it smells like an old man's spice rack or even anchovies.
Compiled from community reviews and retailer notes: a fruity-floral extrait de parfum built on litchi and rhubarb over a rose-peony-vanilla heart, closing on a cashmeran-cedar-vetiver base that gives it more woody depth than the house's lighter Fatima Pink and Fatima Velvet Love siblings.

The cashmeran-cedar-vetiver base and extrait concentration give it a rich, cold-weather character despite the fruity-floral opening.
