Which Should You Buy?
Xerjoff's Don is a bold, divisive scent that swings from 'masterpiece' to 'utterly boring'. If you can get past the initial metallic blast, it's a deep, dark tobacco and whisky blend that's not for the faint of heart or those seeking mass appeal. It's an acquired taste, but worth exploring.
This one is a real Marmite scent, dividing opinion sharply. Some find it a rough-and-ready, boozy tobacco dream, while others recoil at what they perceive as stale, cheap alcohol and a questionable drydown. Definitely try before you buy, if you can.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Don's heavy, smoky accords and perceived intimate projection make it less suitable for the office but highly recommended for dates and formal settings. Its unique, bold character is best showcased in evening wear or specific, confident statements.
Seasons
An autumn-weather scent at heart - warm leaves and shorter days territory.
Occasions
Given its strong, boozy opening and often short longevity, this fragrance is best suited for casual, relaxed settings. It's too assertive and potentially off-putting for formal or office environments, and entirely unsuitable for sport.
