Xerjoff Ceylon is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017, created by Chris Maurice. Ceylon opens with Bergamot, Jasmine, and Honey, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, and Vanilla. Xerjoff's Ceylon carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This is Xerjoff's take on a full-bodied, animalic oud, and it’s a proper Marmite scent. Expect strong opinions - some call it a masterpiece, others pure barnyard. Definitely not a blind buy unless you like a wild ride.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter
Also Works:
Spring

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its intense sillage and exceptional longevity, Ceylon is too overpowering for an office environment. This audacious scent thrives in formal settings or on a daring date night, where its rich, animalic warmth can truly stand out, but it's far too heavy for casual wear or sport.

About

Imagine indulging in a rich, syrupy honey, its sweetness tempered by the bright zest of bergamot and the heady bloom of jasmine. This opulent opening soon gives way to a potent oud, earthy and animalic, softened by musky warmth. Hints of powdery tea weave through, grounding the composition as it settles into a deep, ambered vanilla with undeniable musky undertones. A truly decadent experience.
