Don Eau de Parfum vs Under Skin Eau de Parfum
ScentArt
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's a real shapeshifter; give it time and it rewards you with a compellingly edgy, almost cinematic vibe. Initially harsh, it matures into a distinctive, masculine scent for those who like to stand out.
