Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - des Baux Eau de Toilette
This one's a legendary cheapie, offering niche-level comfort at a high-street price, though its longevity causes a bit of mither. A cold-weather marvel with devoted fans, it's a must-try for anyone after a warm, spicy vanilla with a proper twist.

Our Verdict - Starlight Eau de Parfum
Xerjoff Starlight is a luxurious cardamom bomb - polarising for some, but a masterpiece for spicy fragrance lovers. It's an intoxicating journey from fresh zest to warm, comforting embrace, though some find it a bit too festive or a touch too linear for the price point. Definitely try before you buy.

Season and Occasion Fit

des Baux Eau de Toilette

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Its warm, spicy and vanilla-heavy profile makes it perfect for date nights and casual autumn/winter wear. While it has moderate projection, its richness isn't ideal for the office or formal events, and it's certainly not built for sport.

Starlight Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

While its warmth and spice make it a bit much for the office, Starlight truly shines for dates, formal events, and cosy casual wear, especially in cooler weather, as many reviewers noted. Its strong sillage and longevity mean it makes an impact without being overbearing for special occasions.
