Which Should You Buy?
This one's a bit of a Jekyll and Hyde. Some will adore its bright, creamy neroli and almond sweetness, others will find it too sharp and even 'soapy'. Definitely not a safe blind buy, so test it first to see which side of the Nile you land on.
This Xerjoff attar is a divisive beast. Some find its oud-vanilla blend a sweet, sophisticated masterpiece, while others are put off by a 'synthetic' opening. Definitely one to sample before committing, but if it clicks, it really clicks.

Its potent oud and vanilla profile, combined with generally strong performance, makes it a bit much for the office. It truly shines on dates and formal events, though; the luxurious and sensual character makes it perfect for when you want to make a statement.
