Uden is a more expensive, overpriced version of Chanel Allure Homme Edition Blanche. It opens with a combination of tart lemon and juicy grapefruit, which actually come across quite harsh and abrasive to me, before quickly settling into a base of creamy vanilla, sandalwood and ambergris. The darker notes of rum and coffee which are listed are more or less non-existent, perhaps only adding very vague, distant nuances to the base. Overall this dries down to Edition Blanche as I said. You would expect this to be of a much higher quality than the Chanel given the price, but it’s not. Xerjoff can sometimes be very hit and miss with their quality of ingredients and blending I find, and unfortunately on this occasion it’s a miss.
Okay... Uden from Xerjoff is a calm creation which is sweet and subtle. The quality is evident and although it puts me in mind of vanilla/tonka designer fair like Le male or Armani code, I think it's a bit unfair to tar Uden with the same brush as it's undoubtedly better. The opening for example is a beautiful mix of citruses and the main note I get is one of coconut which is only very brief but really nice. Uden dries down to a lovely soft, sweet vanilla, musk and creamy sandalwood. Also I get the coffee note after about 2 hours I thought it wasn't there but it is very subtlety is... like Rocas Man. I've no doubt there's superb quality in this fragrance but has it blown me away? not really. This is the problem with Xerjoff the greats are too few but to be fair they're getting better as I try more & more.
