XJ 1861 Decas

All I get is cherry cola from this. It's interesting but I don't think I'd want to smell like that. It's not worth the price tag.

Very versatile, quiet powdery to my nose. I don’t mind wearing feminine leaning fragrances, and I would term this one as being slightly feminine to me, as the dry down becomes very powdery. It’s not as unique as Xerjoff usually is, but it has the luxurious DNA of Xerjoff none the less. It resides amongst my ‘everyday’ fragrances due to its versatility. It sits on the skin and is going nowhere, I think it’s has over average silage/projection, and was there on the skin about 24 hours later, i could smell it every time i woke up. I mostly blind buy, as I think that’s where the excitement is. I would say it’s blind buy worthy, if you get it at a good price, as it lacks the ‘niche’ sparkle, if there is such a term! I rate Renaissance and Naxos quiet higher up the scale, as far as this collection goes. I usually associate olfactory senses with memory (as many of us do), so if I’m having an ‘off’ day/week or feeling low (I suffer from clinical depression), then I tend not to want to use any ‘loved’ fragrances so there is no association, if that makes sense? This Xerjoff alongside Mefisto sits side by side for those days :-)

This is a smokers Volvo with a freshly opened wunderbaum, cracked leather seats and empty cans of redbull. It would work great for men who deals with cars and boys who likes to cruise around the city and blast bad music to stirr things up. I can imagine some women will find this smell very sexy on guys. I like to smell it because it reminds me of my childhood, but I may not wear this.

Xerjoff Decas smells quite nice to me, however, it has that bubblegum smell that may not be for everyone. It is quite sweet and leans more toward feminine but it is definitely a unisex fragrance. Nevertheless, I quite like it and I have worn it on Australian warm days and colder days and it seems to project well in cooler temperatures. Overall, I like it very well and it's one of my favorites from the house of Xerjoff. I get over 6-7 hrs of good projection and over 10hrs longevity on the skin. Overall: Performance 8.5/10 Longevity 8/10 Sillage 8/10 Versatility 8.5/10

Warm amber fragrance, opens up like Estee Lauder Sensuous, but turns a bit more masculine over the day. This would suit a classy man.
