Uden

Absolutely amazing. You need to wait a few minutes for some Xerjoff fragrances to show their true colours, and this is one of them. On the opening, you get a huge blast of citrus, mostly lemon and grapefruit. Delightful ones, typical Xerjoff, but it could fool you to think "oh, it is just another citrus fragrance. Nio is better", and put it back in the shelf. However, after a few minutes, you notice the rum kicking in, and these two elements - together with the hints of coffee - really distinguish the fragrance from the rest. The base of Vanilla, amber, musk becomes more predominent with time, but never overpowers the fragrance. As such, the freshness of Citrus and Rum not only lift up this fragrance, but are always present, and while they get slighter less present with time, you never end up having "another vanilla-amber fragrance". This blend walks the very thin line between a gourmand and an "attractive" fragrance, but does not end up being too delicious, like Italica, or Lira. Some florals are slightly noticable, playing more of a supportive role to blend the woods better with the remaining elements. While it shares the combo of vanilla + citrus of Channel's AHS Edition Blanche. I think they go to different parks. Chanell's is an amazing gourmand fragrance of it's own, but Xerjoff just humps the quality to the next level, and the addition of some elements on Uden, mainly the rum and woody elements, just keeps the fragrance unique, and far away from the gourmand "lemon cake" perfume. The coffee also adds a very nice touch to it. In a similar way, I feel that the comparison between both is akeen to the ones made between Naxos and other honey-sweet tobacco fragrances - the presence of some elements in Naxos (mainly Lavender) just makes the fragrance go in a completely different direction. Same thing with Uden and the presence of Rum, enriched with the hints of coffee. It is an unique fragrance that blends citruses and rum perfectly, laying in a sweet base with hints of coffee in the background. A top creation of Xerjoff, together with Naxos and the recent Iommi, and a must try for every citrus / boozy fragrance lover out there looking for a new approach to such fragrances.

Every Saturday morning, when I can sleep in just a little longer, I lay in bed until I decide to get up and make myself a coffee or an espresso. And 9 times out of 10 when I do that, I put on a little bit of Uden just for the occasion. It's the perfect zen "me time." Anyway, that's not why I'm here. I'm here to say that around 9am this morning, I did the very thing described above- I sprayed some Uden on my robe as I got my coffee, and 14 hours later, after a long day and a hot shower, I put my robe back on before bed and I can 100% absolutely clear as day still smell Uden on it. It's been almost 14 hours and all I did was 2 sprays max on my right sleeve and that citrus/vanilla blend is pumping through my nostrils. And I love it. The performance is insane. Anyway, I heard this one was like Edition Blanche, so I bought it to own a frag that had its own spin on the DNA since I'm a fan of EB. And as for the scent itself, it really does smell liked Edition Blanche- like A LOT, but after doing a side by side, I can tell that Uden is so much better. Edition Blanche is incredible, but Uden is much more refined and of a higher quality. The lemon is stronger in EB, and to my nose, it cheapens the fragrance. Uden is just so much more balanced. It pulls that lemon in just a tad bit and in doing so, Uden's notes are balanced out a lot more nicely. This is an example of a 10% difference going a LONG way. The coffee note is not strong in this one at all. This is NOT a coffee scent. I just like wearing it when I drink my morning coffee because there's something about the lemony/citrus vibe that really does go well with (the scent of) coffee. If you're ever on a coffee date, this one would be the perfect fragrance to wear. A blue freshie (despite being some of my favorites to wear) will clash with the coffee and pastries. You don't want or Aventus or Polo 67 on a coffee date. You want Uden.

I don't want to sound like a niche snob, and I only have samples so I have no motive for bias. But this is MUCH better to my nose than Allure Homme Blanche EDP. Totally different leagues of realism, crispness and lifelikeness. My first sniff reaction to Allure was "hmm...", to this it was "oh wow!" This smells like a glass of realistic lemonade, on top of warm and extremely lifelike smooth notes of vanilla and rum/coffee. The deeper notes are apparent right away sprayed on paper. On skin the citrus opening has better coverage. There's also a minty breeze blowing throughout the fragrance. There's a lot going on and everything is beautifully balanced. I very rarely smell anything this harmonious and beautifully put together. Allure Blanche EDP smells like a "cologne" version of this general theme. All of the fancy decorations have been stripped back to focus solely on masculine vanilla + lemon. Not nearly as lifelike, detailed and complex. Also somewhat lacking in general direction and structure. It just smells like "cologne" with no clear point of focus. It's like watching a video in 360p VS 1080p. With Allure's dry-down, you get the masculine Chanel DNA that's also found in Bleu de Chanel. Here I don't recognize any particular DNA, other than the lifelike realism that Xerjoff sometimes has. 1861 Reneissance is another photorealistic Xerjoff. But Erba Pura is the farthest thing from photorealism... The reviews do point this difference out, and I've yet to be disappointed by a highly rated Xerjoff. This is quality stuff, definitely get a sample!

I first smelt Uden a couple years ago when I was looking for a new fragrance at Harvey Nichols in Knightsbridge. However I did not end up buying it as I immediately fell in love with Mefisto and bought that instead, which is now my signature. Anyway I am now in Boston and reordered Mefisto as my bottle has just ran out and received a free sample of Uden and I've loved it even more since. The opening is not the greatest, honestly I hate to say it but reminds me a lot of Versace Dylan Blue, a nice fresh fragrance but there is something a little bit harsh about it. But I must say, 20 minutes later it is a completely different fragrance. That harshness disappears and reveals a creamy vanilla citrus that couldn't be more relaxing. I've seen a lot of people comparing this to Allure Edition Blanche, and while they are similar, I would not say that they are the same at all. I have Allure Edition Blanche in my collection and it simply just does not have the same complexity as Uden, and certainly doesn't have the same performance. Uden gives me about 8-9 hours, while Allure Edition Blanche barely gives me 4-5. I think of Uden as much more grown up and mature than Allure Edition Blanche, like its uncle, same DNA but not the same at all. Allure Edition Blanche reminds me of a lemon cake, while Uden reminds me of a lemon cake on a yacht off the Amalfi coast with a quartet playing in the background. I've just put my order in for the full bottle and cannot wait for it to arrive.

Opening was bright sharp citrus and green, immediately reminded me of Nio. The aromatic spicy “coffee” side then immediately started coming out. There really was not much delay between the top notes sparkling and the immediate dry down effect. Kinda wish the top notes stayed a little longer but that’s kinda the name of the game with realistic natural smelling citruses. Honestly if I didn’t read the notes I probably wouldn’t have said coffee. Even now I still don’t really think this comes across as coffee. It’s a spicy dry vanilla with a slight dry woody incense vibe. Theres a lot of spice which again is kinda surprising from the notes. Almost like star anise and cardamom maybe? EDIT: now that it’s dried down more I do get the coffee note. It’s still very spicy and dry and woody though so coffee wouldnt have been my obvious description choice if I hadn’t read the notes. Reminds me of something you’d wear on an Italian vacation on a night out. It’s definitely sexy while also giving the slightest mature vibes as well (it's possible I think this because it is reminiscent of fragrances from the 2000s, as apparently some other commenters have suggested the formula has been around for a while). Aside from the opening, this is not screaming summer or daytime to me, much more of a spring/fall night time fragrance for men

When I started my fragrance journey for the niche side of the perfume world, I quickly encountered a sample of Xerjoff Uden. When I first smelled Uden, I was blown away by how rich a fragrance could smell. Rich in the sense that it also does something to your mood. Years later and many many niche fragrances down the line, probably smelled more than 500, likely even more and this is still the winner for me. Uden is like a band who's music I was waiting for and while I listen and enjoy other bands, I can always come back to listen to this one and never grow tired of it. Or that movie that I have seen for the thousanth time. It is the heart of my fragrance collection and if forced to downsize to one fragrance, this one would be it. It has a combination of the notes that I love the most in fragrances: coffee, musk, rum, coffee, wood, vanilla. Uden sums it all up for me. What a beauty. I wear it mostly from spring to start of fall. It performs good, espcially on clothes can smell it all day and even the next day. Fresh in the opening, beautiful classy vanilla in the drydown. Shines best when the sun is out and it's around 18C - 24C (64F - 75F). Unique? Nope. Mass appealing leaning fragrances? Yes. Does that matter? Hell no. My signature fragrance: 10/10

Absolute masterpiece. A reviewer below said 'the valedictorian of this DNA' and I couldn't agree more. I own, have owned, or sampled extensively all but the MFK offerings in this style. Sculpture parfum does it well, Lafayette street is like a bludgeoning over the head, and the Chanels are overpriced and underperforming wastes of money. Uden Overdose is another love of mine, but it is more of a departure, I still think it is excellent. Uden is the standard by which I personally judge everything else in this genre. This at no point is off-putting anywhere during its development. From initial spray, all the way until it is gone from the skin completely, it is absolutely fantastic. No harshness, no overly sharp edges, just a smooth transition from one stage of development to the next. It is a decidedly linear voyage, if I'm being honest. But that is what I enjoy about Uden. It is predictably good throughout. And I do get a discernable coffee note that I love, and less booziness (which I prefer). Could it use more punch? Of course. Read virtually any review on any fragrance here and 90% of them complain of poor performance. On almost every fragrance released since the bans. So lets just say that this performs well, and leave it at that.

Based off the reviews I was eager to try this fragrance. When I got the chance, I was a little underwhelmed. Not because it’s no good, quite the contrary. It’s a perfectly fine fragrance that’s difficult to not enjoy. It’s just that it reminds me of three fragrances I already own. Xerjoff fragrances always take the wearer on a journey and this one is no exception. The top, heart and drydown all smell differently to my nose. At the top, I get a strong similarity to Lafayette Street by Bond no. 9, at the heart or mid, it resembles Amyris Homme by Maison Francis Kurkdijan and at the base or dry down I’m getting Prada L’homme. I enjoy all these fragrances but not enough to spend the exorbitant price to buy this fragrance which is just a combination of the three aforementioned. Anyhow, the longevity on my skin was great at 8 hours before becoming a skin scent and the projection was about arm’s length for the first 3 hours before coming in closer. The sillage was nice too but my buddy wore the fragrance during my trial run too and I couldn’t help but to notice this fragrance smelled more feminine leaning in the sillage. Id recommend if this is what you’re looking for from your fragrance but personally it’s a pass for me.

Nose Note #876 Yeah, it feels like Uden was inspired by Amouage Reflection Man, but they decided to make more fruity instead of white floral and got this. I haven't yet tried Chanel Allure Homme though. In it's turn Lafayette Street feels like a mix between Reflection Man and Uden. I like Uden even more than Reflection Man, it's two steps more modern, even though only 3 years separate the two fragrances. Reflection is only subtly sweet, Uden is much sweeter, but not like 1 Million, it's moderate. And it has a creamy citrus accord in the likes of Allure Homme Sport. Overall the fragrance is stronger than Allure Homme Sport and Reflection Man, but not miles stronger. I lose track of all three after 3-4 hours, which is really not good, but I feel like it's just my nose and the scent must still be around. Just to compare - I can't smell Boss Bottled after 1-2 hours, it's just gone, maybe traces only... Uden feels friendlier than Reflection, the age group is much wider. In a way it smells like a beautiful companion to an already beautiful Allure Homme Sport. I'm very happy I have this. It just satisfies me. 8.7/10, super easy one, but doesn't feel like something legendary

[Tested on skin] This fragrance opens as a warm, cozy citrus that feels very familiar. It's not a green or juicy citrus, but it's lovely, without any chemical undertones. Alongside the citrus, I pick up vanilla, sweet woody notes, and a hint of coffee. Interestingly, I definitely catch a bit of Chanel Allure Homme in the opening, though this scent evolves to be much more as the citruses recede. About 20-30 minutes in, a pleasant yet unplaceable accord emerges—it's vanilla-ish but not quite, perhaps a bit floral. I suspect this is the rum, possibly combined with musk, with a distinct molasses hint. It's familiar, and I enjoy it, but it's annoying that I can't quite place it. By this point, the citrus has significantly faded into the background, and the drydown is still something I love. After about an hour, the scent feels considerably reduced. I can detect the rum, along with perhaps some musk and amber, when I smell my arm up close. By 1h30, it's narrowed down to a skin scent, though I can still smell it on my arm. The late drydown seems to reduce to just vanilla. Overall, the scent appears to disappear after 2-3 hours.. Bummer :(

I bought this literally blind, as I couldn't find it anywhere to test before purchasing. However, I researched that it has some similarities to Chanel Allure Edition Blanche and Sculpture, and it really does have a bit of similarity but not too much. I have also tried Uden Overdose, which I didn't like because of the strong tobacco flower and ginger notes. It's simply too sharp for my nose. Uden is a perfect scent for those who love refined and high-quality citrus fragrances. At first, you can smell freshly cut lemon and grapefruit, with a hint of rum and vanilla. Later on, woody notes with rose and musk prevail. You can really notice all these note transitions, making it a very interesting and sophisticated scent. The longevity isn't overkill; I'd say it lasts a solid 5-6 hours, after which it settles down and leaves a nice trail. I think the longevity and projection will improve after maceration, but for a citrus fragrance, it's quite sufficient. Kudos to the house of Xerjoff. Not to mention, their presentations and bottles are some of the most beautiful in the industry.

I really love this stuff. The comparisons with Chanel Allure Homme are indeed justified and a good starting point for describing this fragrance. This is warmer, deeper, a little bit more gourmand and less citrusy. Not as sparkly or fresh. More gentle and unisex. Rich, good performing and very mass-appealing for a niche offering. In fact, let me put it this way: this is what I imagine Olivier Polge would do if he were given the task by Chanel of creating a Parfum version of his father's masterpiece, just like what he did with Bleu de Chanel Parfum. I really think it's a good way of describing this scent. This is probably my favorite (along with its sibling Uden Overdose) of all the Xerjoffs I've tried: Naxos, 40 Knots, Renaissance, Nio, Torino 21 and Torino 22, as well as some of the Casamoratti line like Fiero, Mefisto and Mefisto Gentiluomo (these last two are also particularly good). Excellent juice quality and presentation, but... The price for a 50 ml bottle still borders the outrageous. 9/10

A Perfect Day to Night Transition Package arrived and unboxing was "an experience". The presentation with Xerjoff is world class. Large and heavy luxe boxes with soft fabric liners and layover covers are the norm here. Throw in an ACTUAL F'N meteorite and the date it came to Earth and that just locks it as a 10/10 on the presentation as a whole. The bottle is stunningly good too. The fragrance is a bit of a unicorn for some. Starts off bright and citrusy but with a good base of musk holding it up and pushing it out. The citrus stays a lot longer than most. Then it gets magical and dries down to this deep, rich and amber and sweetness on that musk that harkens to Ambre Nuit and Enigma. It's fantastic. Projects very well for a while and leaves a sillage that's just stupefying. Early dinner date; a few drinks at the club followed by a night of whatever you can imagine and this frag keeps up easily. Overall a 10 out of 10 across the board so enthusiastically strong recommend.

I love this fragrance. My first intro to this DNA was a clone, which I loved. Didn’t think I could love it more, but I do. This resonates with me so much. Unlike the clone, this does open with a beautiful creamy citrus vibe. I now understand the comparison to the Chanel fragrances, but this is just better. Richer, deeper, creamier opening than those two...although I completely get the comparison. As it dries down, I get hints of the rum and coffee dancing with the main players - vanilla and sandalwood. It is so well blended that these notes just create one delicious, sexy and extravagant DNA. Longevity is above average. Projection is average. I love this on my wife...so I feel it’s unisex. Great for all occasions...but the price will keep me to wearing it not as frequently. I would wear this year round by varying sprays. With all my praise, I can still see how some might not care to own this. At this price point, I would get a sample first and try it out.

I’m currently wearing Allure Homme on one hand and Uden on the other. I also wear Edition Blanche EDP whenever weather permits. I would put this in the same family as Allure Homme. Uden is just richer and not as complex. However, I see much less similarity with Edition Blanche. EB has a more focused lemon opening that quickly develops into a vanilla polished sandlewood but without any floral elements. Uden is denser affair altogether, with a creamier vanilla that is more similar to Allure Homme along with light floral touches that give it lift. To me this is a very nice take on the og Allure Homme from 1999 but without the peach, aldehydes or patchouli. It’s perhaps like what an EDP version of what the original Allure Homme would be like if Chanel ever made one. I really enjoy Uden and, as a bonus, it wears well on my skin; displaying nice development throughout the day, very similar to Allure Homme but more intense and less soapy.

I adore this fragrance for the first hour. I can smell it off myself. Has a soaplike, citrus powdery facet to it that is very uplifting. Thoroughly enjoy it and it is a Sunday morning type fragrance to drink my coffee to while the sun warms me through my living room window as I watch my news and prepare for the day. Puts me in a great mindset and mood. But it is a morning scent because the longevity and performance is only good for a couple hours before it just disappears off of me. 3-4 hours and it is pretty much gone and then I will change to my SOTD type fragrance. It is good for what it is, but I wound up selling it despite I love the scent. I don't reach for this much because it is fleeting upon me personally. Scent is gorgeous and suits me wonderfully. Performance and longevity falls very short for the price tag of Xerjoff pricepoint. Bottles only come in 50ml. Overall its a 7.5/10 when factoring in longevity performance.

A divine concoction. Uden has everything I want to wear in a fragrance. A crisp and uplifting citric opening, clean, elegant, which slowly transitions into a comfy vanillic scent, and that touch of coffee really is the icing on the cake. Criminally underrated. People are comparing it to Allure Homme Edition Blanche, which I also adore and see some similaritied, but imo Allure doesn't reach the heavens quite like Uden does. Same goes for other fragrances in the same vibe. Quite versatile too, enough for a signature scent... though the price point might be a biiit too steep to wear it every day. I was lucky to get it on sale lol. So I understand when people say it should be stronger, have better performance. I'm of the opinion that things don't have to last the entire day and then some, so to me this lasts long enough to appreciate to its fullest, quite fitting of the spot in a collection called "Shooting Stars". 9.5/10 🐁

this fragrance is so beautiful; i still can't get over it. i recently got a testing kit from xerjoff with uden in it, and since then i've been using that sample every single day, it's gone now. quite reminiscent of something like chanel's allure homme edition blanche: a woody citrus based scent with vanilla that brings this creamy tart-like quality. the coffee and rum in this is quite subtle but you can definitely pick it up on the drydown and it is beautiful, it smells very aesthetic and luxurious. it combines fresh aspects with richer and more complex notes but still is on the fresher side to be worn in spring/summer. it definitely resembles allure homme edition blanche a lot but it does bring its own twist and performs a lot better on my skin in terms of longevity and sillage. maybe not worth a buy at retail price but if you happen to find it somewhere for cheaper, it's an absolute gem

Uden is a beautiful, complex blend of realistic citrus, warm spices, and sweet gourmand notes. It is both fresh and rich, sweet and savory, playful and put together. As the citrus softens, the coffee emerges, creating a distinctive second act. Uden is a culinary accomplishment in a perfume bottle. I find it surprisingly versatile. I wear it as a daytime scent in cold weather and a nighttime scent in warm weather. It works with most of my wardrobe—anything more put together than athletic wear and less formal than a suit—but it feels especially right with a lightweight sweater. Performance is perfect for me: moderate sillage and strong longevity. Uden is expensive but worth it. I am a sucker for Xerjoff's presentation--beautiful box and bottle. Uden is a lot of fun to wear, is a favorite of mine, and will always have a spot in my wardrobe.

Absolutely amazing this is stellar 🤩 This fragrance is essentially Chanel’s Allure Homme Edition Blanche EDP but superior and higher quality. This is citrus heavy on my skin upon spraying it on. All I get is lemon and and a bunch of other citruses. After the dry down I came back to re review. I am so happy this fragrance is not linear on my skin and it starts to take a slight change and you can smell the blend of rum, sandalwood which makes it creamy and there’s this clean white musk accord rounding out the fragrance. I know coffee is listed I’m not sure if there’s coffee in this fragrance. As for ambergris or “volcanic whale vomit pumice stone” I can definitely pick up ambergris it’s blended beautifully with the citruses. This is a easy 10/10 for me my only downside is they need to make a 100ml bottle of this.

Uden by Xerjoff: The citrus off the top is really bright and refreshing with the lemon and the grapefruit really standing out and jumping off my skin and the rose and guaiac wood round them out nicely. the guaiac wood here is notable in the fact that it's actually detectable when it often falls aside in other frags. The whole scent smells like a nice clean holiday vibe without being laundry detergent or chemical cleaner. I do get the lemon pie references, not immediately but when the vanilla comes in it's definitely understood. The musk and ambergris are there too with a slight coffee note. I really like this and I find it quite unique. Top notes: Citrus, grapefruit Middle notes: Citrus, guaiac wood, rose Base notes: Lemon, vanilla, ambergris, musk, some coffee 4/5

I got this in a sample set and bought a full bottle soon after. Spring/summer is a problem if you don't like green or blue frags and I only have a few that are fresh enough for that time of year. Uden starts with a strong citrussy blast, mainly lemon with a hint of grapefruit. After an hour or so that sharpness mellows and I get a sweet, warmer scent which I think is the rum, coffee and a touch of wood. I'm definitely a fan. Xerjoff are expensive but usually worth the money. Uden doesn't project as well as most but it lasts a good 8hrs on skin and 10+ on clothing. I imagine most men would like this, it's masculine in a quiet way. Not a safe blind buy due to the price but 50ml will last a long time.

This is another amazing Xerjoff! I have 8 of them and they are all quite amazing. Nio, Renaissance, Naxos, Aubres... are all superior scents with a profound addictive power. I have to say that when i got Uden, i was a bit disappointed at first. Likewise with the first spray. It smells excellent but it is hard to tell what is going on. Pleasant, nice yes but... wait until it starts opening up! And, gosh gracious, you won t be disappointed! It reaches Naxos level, with which by the way, it shares a lot of NDA. It happens every time i spray Uden: at first, yes, very nice but then, wow, it blasts you with this amazing Naxon like cloud and lasts forever So, in summary, a masterpiece.

Very creamy and soft vanilla with loads of sparkling citruses in the opening. The citruses aren’t that sharp but have weight. Overtime the citruses fade to the background allowing the addictive rum and coffee to come in. The vanilla stays dominant but altogether it blends into being really sexy and rich smelling. The dry down is unparalleled for me compared to other fragrances for spring and summer. It just screams happiness and good times along with being comforting and mass appealing. Perfectly unisex as well imo. If you love the smell, I wouldn’t worry about others perceiving you as wearing an opposite sex fragrance because it’s really hard not to like the smell of this.

Uden starts very bright and lemony - it's a very clean smell and similar to Chanel Edition Blanche. As it starts to settle a little you can pick up some of the rum-coffee notes, which blend wonderfully with the rest of the scent. Once it fully dries down after a couple hours, it loses almost all the lemon but turns into such a wonderful smell - kinda creamy and much more of the rum-coffee notes. Despite this somehow it still works perfectly as a summer scent - probably due to the dry-down becoming a near skin smell. The performance is fleeting, I wish it lasted a bit longer, but it's better than a lot of other summer fragrances. I love this one

I've had this bottle of fragrance for over a year now, and I've been hesitant to use it too much because it's just that good. I've also tried out Edition Blanche, and while they're similar, the addition of rum and coffee notes in this one really makes it stand out. Plus, the longevity of this fragrance is impressive compared to Edition Blanche. The latter might as well be a Bath and Body Works spray, to be honest. Considering Edition Blanche is $112 for a 1.7oz and Uden is $150, the price difference is totally worth it. Despite the hefty price tag, I would happily buy this fragrance again. It's simply the perfect summer gourmand scent.

Smells like a smoothly vanillic, sweeter Edition blanche. Almost chocolatey to my nose. I would use edition blanche for warmer days and uden for cooler days. I didnt like it greatly when I got it but it grew on my pretty rapidly. It could be a contender for my top 5 now. I tested Blanche in store last week a couple times and ended up with a bottle, and I can see myself possibly picking this up at some point in the future too. Edit: ended up buying it. It's in my top 3 now. Half a spray can be detected from across the room by my wife. And the bonus meteorites in the box is a super cool touch!! Should be 100mL for the cost though

This is a really stunning, beautifully-blended fragrance. It does have an addictive quality to it. I see this mostly as a spring/fall fragrance, but it does have some versatility and you could pull it off in winter and summer. I prefer it to Uden Overdose, which is really nice, but a lot more basic and less alluring to me. This fragrance has some mystery to it. The citruses in the opening are really nice, but it mostly revolves around a coffee note in the base with subtle rose, rum, and sandalwood hovering around it. It's very smooth. I get about 6-8 hours, but my skin tends to absorb fragrances faster than most people's.

Wow what an amazing smell. First time I smelled this fragrance on my wrist I got hints of a luxurious citrus vanilla scent. I have tried Allure Homme Blanche and Lafayette Street since and they share similar DNA but are not the same. Uden I would say is the best followed by Lafayette and Blanche is a distant third. I had to get a full bottle just wish it came in a 100ml. Also it layers amazingly with other winter and summer fragrances. I tried 75% Uden 25% Naxos and it immediately increased longevity by a good 2 hours. 10/10 fragrance will replace this bottle as soon as its finished which I know wont take long.

I love this fragrance so much. To me it doesn't smell like Chanel Allure Homme Edition Blanche. You get sharp citrus kinda like lemon pie in Chanel, meanwhile the citrus is a little bit toned down in Uden which then dries down to a beautiful rum coffee vanilla scent that reminds me of tiramisu. The longevity is pretty good with moderate projection which I really like (I don't feel comfortable wearing beast mode fragrance). Versatility is good too, you can wear it anytime except winter. The only downside with this is the price, I wish it were $50 cheaper. Overall, it's still a 10/10 fragrance for me.

I wanted to sample this one because I heard/read that it reminds Chanel Allure Edition Blanche which was my fav male perfume for many many years. Used to buy it many times for my ex And yes, I like this one for the same notes and impression - soft-citrusy, lemon curd-ish opening, fresh woody base, bitter-sweet drydown. Love it top to bottom, just exactly my taste (but for a guy not myself, a bit too masculine) Performance is great (well it's Xerjoff, no surprise there), it's quite pricey but I do find Xerjoff discounted from time to time on some websites

My favorite Xerjoff by far. I spent a long time searching for a fragrance that had a vibe of citrusy, mellow, comforting. This is not citrus, not gourmand, but in the middle. It is definitely unisex, but it dries masculine enough. Perfect date scent and versatile enough to wear in any season. Yes, winter included. Avoid comparisons with Allure Blanche, this feels more refined, has layers, moves in the air and feels like actual perfume. It is the serious choice. 10/10 for me. Expensive? Yes. But it is a strategic fragrance so it will last you well enough.

For me I adore fragrances that do their job effortlessly and especially the type of fragrances that you don’t think twice about or when you have a huge collection and stuck on which perfume to use for today. Uden “as well as overdose version” are prime examples of these types of fragrances although they are not special in terms of notes or different from most fragrances. But you will most definitely enjoy wearing it, get alot of compliments, and smell better than 90% of people around you Smell 9/10 Longevity 8/10 Projection 7/10 Overall 8/10

Got the 50ml today. I'm in the fragrance game since 2015 and this is definately one of the best fragrances i've smelled. Amazing rich smell of high quality citruses,rum and vanilla. All notes are perfectly blended together. This fragrance really is good for formal occasions but you can wear it every day all year round. Performance is good. It does smell a little bit like Chanel Edition Blanche but Uden is A LOT better quality. If you want a high quality cirtus scent definately go for it. I had Erba pura and Naxos and this one is better.

Wow, this scent is just magical. I've never tried a citrus scent quite like it. The citrus, wood, and vanilla blend together perfectly to make something completely new. I do wish I could smell the coffee a bit better, but the rum is a very interesting compliment here. Sillage and Longevity are excellent. The dry down to vanilla makes the fragrance become more inviting. Instant addition to my collection and a good choice for those who want to stand out from the crowd for summer/spring fragrances.

My perspective is very different from others mostly because my take on this fragrance is fresh; I have not smelled Allure by Chanel or any other fragrance people say smell similar. Uden is particularly stunning for women as I am sure it is for men. Yes it is a citrus top, but this pronunciation is almost candied. It is very different than the typical fresh citrus like in Neroli Portifino or Aqcua Viva from my beloved Profumum Roma line.

Lemon and grapefruit creamy pudding with a noticeably rummy coffee dry-down. Woody accords provide some balance so the sweetness doesn't overwhelm. Opening is a touch similar to Chanel's Allure Homme, but with a boozier turn. Not identical to Edition Blanche, that one is brighter and more aromatic than this. Can be enjoyed all year round, projects very loudly on my skin. I expect this to be long-lasting, bottle is well-macerated.

The absolute valedictorian of this DNA, in a class made of: the original Allure Homme, AHS, AH Edition Blanche, Amyris, Lafayette Street, , Montale Wood and Spice, Nikos Sculpture and others in this style..if you want the best iteration of this DNA, you must give Uden a try. The price, even when discounted, is really high, especially considering the performance is not that amazing..all in all, one of my all time favorites

Absolutely perfect. Starts with a bright citrus note that dries into a delicious lemon pound cake. There is a lovely, smooth as silk wood in the background to hold it all together. Reminds me of Ani but a more complex and interesting version. It’s marketed as masculine but I find it unisex or even feminine. Lasts 6 hour on skin with good sillage for the first couple hours then it wears closer to the body.

This is very similar to the Chanel Allure line, it's very fresh and sweet and creamy at the same time. I absolutely love this scent but will I buy a 50ml bottle at this price for something similar to Chanel Allure? Probably not. Edit: Shame on me. After I used up my sample, I needed to buy the full bottle. I missed it too much. It's PERFECT for the spring/summer evenings and the whole fall.

Love this one. It's like the niche version of Chanel Allure Homme with much more depth to the ingredients. Definitey can smell the citrus, rum, and ambergris. It's an extremely pleasant scent. I find the longevity to be really good. It projects in the mid range and eventually becomes a skin scent. So it's not a beast. Really an all year round any time of day fragrance for me. 9/10.

I've been testing this one for awhile and I've come to love it more and more as time goes on. The creamy citrus with the vanilla makes it extremely smooth and addicting. Edit: just bought this at a 50ml size for $140 (at discounter), people say to buy edition blanche because its significantly cheaper but the 50ml is $102(retail) and in my opinion the extra $40 is worth it.

I can’t say anything about Uden that has not been said before by your fellow fragranticans. I will just highlight. This needs a full wearing to appreciate. Spraying on hand for a quick sniff doesn’t fully cut it. This scent is not linear and does change overtime. Its what D&G devotion could have been, but isn’t. 9.5/10. Knocking it a bit down because of the xerjoff price.

Allure Homme Edition Blanche is one of my favorite summer fragrances ever and I love coffee and rum fragrances, so I was sure I would enjoy this. And I do, but it kinda just smells like Allure Homme Edition Blanche but with more vanilla and a very slight booziness in the drydown. I wish I got more of the coffee and rum notes but still really nice and as good as AHEB.

Ooh, hello. This is a journey. The bright citrus opening (very grapefruit) is loud for a mere moment to get your attention, before it starts opening up in a slow fireworks display of complex layers. 2 hours in and I'm just starting to get to the base notes. It leans sweet for me, definitely more feminine than I expected. I'll update when this lovely journey ends.

TRUE MASTERPIECE! Uden is perfectly blended, creamy, super easy to wear. Opening is citrus heavy, and do resemble Chanel’s Edition Blanche (I own both, and decisively prefer Uden) but after the first 15 minutes the similarities diverge, as the citruses fates, and it becomes this super lovely creamy vanilla with that rum and coffee supporting it. 10/10⭐️

That first spray is magical. A refreshing sweet citrusy oppening. Then after 30 minutes or so, the resemblance to Lafayette and Wild Card shows up and by the 2 hour mark its changes to a creamy vanilla scent that keeps lingering around you. The citruses mixed with the vanilla is pure magic. The woods make it heavier for me. Try it on a 5 ml decant.

This stuff is awesome. Honestly the smell is so damn good. It lasted about 6 hours or so and sits close-ish to the skin. If all your concerned about is compliments this isn’t a huge in your face kind of a fragrance. But the smell is wonderful and it actually develops throughout its lifetime. I will be picking up a bottle here soon.

Really enjoy this. Opens fresh and citric. Vanilla sweetness kicks in with some creamy sandalwood. The rum and coffee I get in the dry down stage and it almost adds this chocalate like accord. Everything blends together so well. High quality and well made with good performance. Great for evening wear to me, pretty much year round.

Its smells amazing, clean and fresh and you can definitely smell how premium Xerjoff notes are. but since I am used to Sculpture Homme Nikos, which is extemely similar, I always feel like some notes are missing, if u like uden you have to try Sculpture Homme Nikos. To me it feels like I already have Uden if I have Sculpture
