Xerjoff Mamluk is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2012, created by Chris Maurice. Mamluk opens with Bergamot, Honey, and Caramel, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Osmanthus, and Benzoin, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Oud, and Vanilla. Xerjoff's Mamluk carries an Acquired verdict, a honey-led wear.

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.

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.
