Our Verdict - XJ Decas Eau de Parfum

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.

Season and Occasion Fit

Red Temptation Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Autumn Winter

The warm, sweet, and ambery profile with rich vanilla and tonka bean makes this scent ideal for the cooler months of fall and winter, where its opulence shines. In spring it can feel cozy and uplifting, but may be too heavy for the hottest summer days.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual Formal

Its enveloping sweetness and moderate projection suit dates and evenings best, but it also works for casual outings and formal events where a statement is welcome. The bold, gourmand style is too rich for sporty activity and may be a touch decadent for conservative office environments.
