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

Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

Also Works:

Formal

Its potent projection and sweet, resinous character make it a bit much for most office environments, though some find it versatile. It shines in cooler weather casual and date settings, with its warmth and unique profile, while its elegance can also suit formal events.

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.
