Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Hayam EDP
Hayam is a divisive beast: some find it a gorgeous, sensual scent perfect for a night out, while others are repulsed by what they describe as dominant, cloying animalic and sweet notes. It's a risk, but it might just be a reward.
Statement
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

Hayam

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date

Its potent initial projection and dominant animalic sweetness make it too intense for the office. However, the sensual dry down and 'date night & bedroom vibes' mentioned by reviewers scream for intimate evening wear.

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.
