A closer look at Xerjoff Holysm EDP
Xerjoff is the house behind Holysm EDP. It comes as Eau de Parfum.
Price and value
The usual price in Europe is about €239. That puts it on the expensive side. It costs more than Jaguar but less than The Spirit Of Dubai Meydan and Roja Dove Roja Apex.
Longevity on skin
It stays on skin for about 6 to 9 hours, so one spray in the morning can carry you through the day. As an Eau de Parfum, it has more perfume oil than an Eau de Toilette, which helps it last.
