Xerjoff Naxos 1861 EDP
$8.00 USD
Xerjoff XJ 1861 Naxos is a highly acclaimed unisex niche fragrance that serves as an olfactory tribute to the island of Sicily. Released as part of the brand's 1861 Collection to celebrate the unification of Italy, it is widely considered a masterpiece in the sweet tobacco and gourmand genre.
The Olfactory Profile
The fragrance is celebrated for its seamless transition from bright, Mediterranean freshness to a deep, decadent, velvety base:
- Top Notes: Bergamot, Lemon, and Lavender. It opens with a crisp, airy, and slightly powdery citrus-herbal brightness.
- Heart Notes: Honey, Cinnamon, Cashmeran, and Jasmine Sambac. The core is driven by a smooth, dense, molten sweetness wrapped in warm spices.
- Base Notes: Tobacco Leaf, Vanilla, and Tonka Bean. The dry-down yields a sophisticated, sweet pipe-tobacco profile that avoids becoming overly heavy or medicinal.
Performance & Versatility
- Longevity: Exceptional, easily lasting 10 to 12+ hours on skin and even longer on fabric.
- Sillage & Projection: Strong and commanding during the initial 2 to 4 hours, creating a magnetic, sophisticated scent bubble before settling into a dense trail.
- Best Occasions: It excels in autumn and winter or cool spring evenings. While it can be worn on summer nights, the dense honey-tobacco sweetness can become overpowering in high daytime heat.
