Our verdict on Mamluk: Acquired

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.

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

Best 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.

About

Mamluk opens with an intense, realistic honey note, often described as golden and thick, infused with sweet caramel. This gourmand core is underpinned by a complex amber warmth, with subtle floral hints of jasmine providing a counterpoint. As it dries, a musky, animalic oud emerges, sometimes perceived as barnyard or even urinous, lending a challenging edge to its otherwise opulent sweetness, settling into a long-lasting, sensual skin scent.
