Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Mamluk EDP
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.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Indian Pearl EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Xerjoff Ceylon - a citrus fragrance led by Calabrian Bergamot, Jasmine Sambac, Honey, with floral depth. The dupe trades some of the original's depth and longevity for a wallet-friendly price, keeping the recognisable character.

Season and Occasion Fit

Mamluk

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its immense sillage and longevity make it unsuitable for office wear, but perfect for a bold statement on a date or formal evening. The challenging animalic notes push it away from casual day-to-day wear for most.

Indian Pearl

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

The citrus character is happiest in spring and summer - the freshness reads bright and clean in milder weather; the dupe's lighter build means it can struggle to project in the opposite season.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Sport

Its citrus, floral signature leans toward casual and daily wear - approachable enough for date use without overwhelming a room.
