Xerjoff Naxos review

Xerjoff Naxos ranks sixth as the most detailed sweet pick on the list. Xerjoff publishes a full pyramid: lemon, bergamot, lavender and incense from Oman on top, jasmine sambac, honey, cinnamon and cashmere in the heart, and vanilla, tobacco leaf and tonka bean in the base. The brand describes it as a tribute to Sicily in its 1861 collection, with a fresh lavender and bergamot opening that gives way to honey, vanilla and tobacco. That gives it a similar warmth to Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille with a brighter start. The product page lists a 100ml bottle and an aromatic, spicy profile. The catch is the price check: Xerjoff showed us a local currency rather than USD, so the price is pending and the value score is conservative. Its honey and vanilla base also makes it a cold-weather scent. We compared brand-published notes and did not wear-test it.
