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 - 387 Tom Ford Velvet Orchid EDP
387 recreates Velvet Orchid's honeyed rum-and-orchid richness, though the suede-myrrh base is noticeably lighter than Tom Ford's opulent original.
