Xerjoff XJ Decas is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2021, created by Chris Maurice. XJ Decas opens with Mandarin, Tuberose, and Tobacco, settles into a heart of Orris, Benzoin, and Opoponax, and dries down to a base of Musk, Resin, and Vanilla. Xerjoff's XJ Decas carries an Acquired verdict, a amber-led wear.

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.

About

Imagine candied mandarin and bright tuberose bursting forth, quickly ceding to a rich, resinous heart of opoponax and benzoin, blended with creamy orris. The dry-down settles into a comforting embrace of bourbon vanilla, musk, and deep resins, occasionally revealing a whisper of unsmoked tobacco. It's a complex dance of sweet, balsamic, and powdery notes.
