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.

Our Verdict - Ceylon EDP
This is Xerjoff's take on a full-bodied, animalic oud, and it’s a proper Marmite scent. Expect strong opinions - some call it a masterpiece, others pure barnyard. Definitely not a blind buy unless you like a wild ride.

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.

Ceylon

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its intense sillage and exceptional longevity, Ceylon is too overpowering for an office environment. This audacious scent thrives in formal settings or on a daring date night, where its rich, animalic warmth can truly stand out, but it's far too heavy for casual wear or sport.
