Allende vs Lira

Community response to Allende is cautiously mixed, with appreciation for its vanilla-heavy composition balanced against concerns about market saturation in the vanilla category. While some see it as a solid winter option, others question its originality compared to existing vanilla fragrances and prefer other Xerjoff releases like Nio.

Xerjoff Lira is a polarizing gourmand fragrance that impresses devoted fans with its delicious cake-like scent, interesting supporting notes, and strong projection, but frustrates others with its cloying sweetness, play-doh undertones, and high price-to-performance ratio. Community consensus is that it's excellent for gourmand enthusiasts who enjoy extremely sweet fragrances and don't mind moderate longevity, but requires careful sampling before purchase.
