Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - XJ Decas EDP
This one's a proper divisive scent. Some reckon it's a bubblegum masterpiece, others find it shockingly bad, cloying, or just plain old. You'll either love its sweet, resinous warmth with a citrus zing, or you'll be running for the hills. Definitely not a safe blind 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.

XJ Decas

Seasons

Spring Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:

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.
