Good Lord! This is really wonderful! And expensive too. I would be willing to pay this amount only if it was a 100ml bottle.

This transports me to a past life where I was a medieval French vineyard hand. I remember the smell of sour leather wineskins mingled with the odour of nearby cow dung and wet thatch. I used to sit up on the edge of the loft and sneak a guzzle of acrid port before baiser la fesse de ma douce dame jolie.
My Birkenstocks smelt something like this at the end of a hot summer about ten years ago. I remember being perversely intoxicated by the fermenting reek of rotting cork and crabapple vinegar.
It reminds me of something I can’t quite put my finger on, but there is a memory trace of the rustic and the obscene. Perhaps this is how Chaucer’s Miller smelt, or how Alisoun’s throbbing quaint smelt to poor Absalom after she tricked him into kissing “hir nether eye.” If this scent were a tale, it would have to be a medieval fabliau. They should consider renaming this “The Miller’s Tale.”

Starts off very intense and a little off-putting. However, after 5 minutes it calms way down into a spicy, chocolatey, sweet chai tea. This is like a more aggressive Tea for Two. I quite like it.

Oh boy, let´s go: Ceylon is another Xerjoff polarizing fragrance. The opening is extremely hard to handle due to a combination of honey and a fecal/rotten oud. After that, the fragrances settles and calms down, but even then, the fragrance is not part of the inoffensive scents. One might consider an interesting work of perfumery, but I find this fragrance quite difficult to wear. This and Zafar are probably the most offensive fragrances I know, and I know hundreds…

The slightest, lightest and priciest offering in the exceptional Xerjoff Oud Stars line is this honeyed tea with a hint of Oudh offering. The perfume has a very brief opening with notes of honey, jasmine and bergamot before it moves to the dense heart which stays throughout the length of the wear. This heart if comprised of Tea, Oud and a slight hint of sandalwood. As it completely settles, one can detect notes of amber, musk and vanilla. Even though I may scoff at why it is priced at double of most of the offerings in this line, it seems the most accessible and easy to wear and has a certain east west sensibility many other offerings in the same line don’t really. I don’t know I am very mixed about this. It seems like a gallant attempt to try to make Oud more palatable to Western ‘Oriental’ tastes and comes across as rather ordinary at the end. This is sophisticated and wearable, and probably of great interest to those who like tea-based perfumes and those who like muted Oriental creations. Sillage is soft to moderate and the perfume has very good lasting power and can be classified as a unisex perfume. Enjoy!

Ceylon unfolds on my skin with a photorealistic honey note soaked in sparkling bergamot for an introduction that will leave you with a feeling of desire, since the very first time I tried it, I was at a loss for words.
The composition is strangely devine in its buttery smooth transitions throughout the experience from top to bottom.
Into the heart Ceylon develops a very bold character with the presence of malaysian oud building up a dry barnyard woody foundation,
Despite delivering a very robust olfactive experience due its woody nature , Ceylon pampers you in a base of sweet creamy vanilla sandalwood with the addition of a tea note to tie the gourmand and woody elements in a green aromatic bubble that is very soothing.
In terms of longevity and projection, well, its an “Oud Star” , expect nothing but the best.

I find ‘oud’ note to be prominent in the beginning and then it calms down to a blend of honeyed tea with a hint of oud.

Oh lord why is this so expensive? I need a gallon of it.
The opening is breathtaking, on my skin the jasmin is potent and carries the other notes at first with the black tea and honey being most prominent. As it dries down it takes on this warm musky, lightly soapy sweet, and faintly indolic (but not in a dirty way like Mamluk can be) tone that well…it straight up reminds me of the scent of a well cleaned…uh…undercarriage? Without making a novelty of the scent or diminishing it’s awe inspiring blending in the midst of awkward imagery: that is what it comes across as to me and it is quite literally sex in a bottle.
Your experience may differ. Perhaps a erm…regular “friend” of mine just had amazing body chemistry and a particular type of soap or body wash, but this is photorealistic to some of those memories and intoxicatingly rich on the nose.
It is in it’s own right a flawlessly made perfume outside of what it conjures up for me and I strongly suggest you sample it.
Scent: 9.5/10 no words. It transitions multiple times, it is memorable in composition, and without equal in it’s particular vein.
Projection: 7/10 I got a heavy projection at rest for a couple hours and it still continues to impress with whiffs popping up and surprising me.
Sillage: 8/10 for the first 30 min to an hour and drops steadily to a good 5/10 for the next couple hours, after the six hour mark it is very close to the skin.
Longevity: I am on my first wearing but so far it became a skin scent around the 6 hour mark but appears to be holding tight at hour 8.
Would I buy a full bottle? Whoooboy. Almost $600 with tax for a 50ml? That is Roja Sultanate of Oman territory-which it took me a year to convince myself to drop the money on. So while I will say “yes” I also have to say, not anytime soon which is a shame because I want it bad.
Hey Xerjoff, if you are reading: excellent job. This one is a masterpiece.

The opening on Ceylon is to die for. The combination of the honey, bergamot and Jasmine gives a juicy sweet almost gourmand like feel. The tea in the heart notes is quite prominent on my skin with amber picking up during the day down. Other than that the notes are blended to perfection. Smooth throughout. The performance and sillage are above average, not a beast by any means but I don’t think that’s the aim of this fragrance. A delicate beauty. Yes it’s expensive. Is it worth it? I think so. Let your nose make the decision for your wallet. It’s a love for me.
