Xerjoff Uden Overdose is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018, created by Chris Maurice. Uden Overdose opens with Bergamot and Lemon, settles into a heart of Ginger and Tobacco Blossom, and dries down to a base of Musk and Amber. It lasts about 6 to 10 hours on skin, carries to about arm's length and is best in spring, summer and autumn. Xerjoff's Uden Overdose carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This is a seriously polarising scent, with fans raving about its niche quality and others dismissing it as an overpriced designer dupe. If you're after a citrus-spicy punch that lasts, give it a go, but expect strong opinions in both directions.

Top, heart and base are the pyramid as published, not a timing claim. Each note's timing follows its listed tier, where it usually sits across many published pyramids (from ScentPrism) and its vapour pressure. A note comes through as the notes usually listed before it fade, judged from how other pyramids order the same pair. The thickness of a ribbon shows the note's share of what is left on the skin, which tracks how strongly it smells, because odour thresholds rise with vapour pressure. The shares come from how prominent wearers vote each note. It is a simple model, not a measurement.

About

Uden Overdose bursts open with a sharp, zesty lemon and invigorating bergamot, quickly followed by a spirited kick of ginger. As it settles, the unexpected sweetness of tobacco blossom emerges, adding a nuanced floral warmth before melting into a smooth, musky amber base that lingers on the skin with sophisticated sensuality.
