Naxos Eau de Parfum

Naxos opens with fresh lavender, bergamot and lemon, then moves into a rich heart of golden honey, cinnamon and jasmine. It settles into a smooth, sweet base of tobacco leaf, vanilla and tonka bean. The result is a luxurious honeyed tobacco scent that is warm and refined.

The top notes are lavender, bergamot and lemon. The heart is honey, cinnamon, cashmeran and jasmine sambac, and the base is tobacco leaf, vanilla and tonka bean.

Naxos was released in 2015 as part of Xerjoff's 1861 collection, which celebrates the year Italy was unified. It was inspired by Naxos, the first Greek colony in Sicily, and the warm, sun-soaked Sicilian coastline.

No. The tobacco in Naxos is sweet, dried tobacco leaf, closer to a pipe tobacco pouch than to smoke. The honey and vanilla make it smooth and golden rather than ashy.

Naxos is sweet, but the lavender and citrus opening and the dry tobacco keep it balanced. It reads as rich and elegant rather than sugary or dessert-like.

Naxos is long-lasting. Most wearers get eight hours or more on skin, and it is often still noticeable into the evening.

Naxos projects strongly for the first few hours, leaving a rich honey and tobacco trail, then softens into a more intimate, skin-close scent.

Naxos is unisex. It is especially popular with men, but its honey, jasmine and vanilla make it equally beautiful on women.

Naxos is at its best in autumn and winter, and it also works well on cool spring days. It can feel heavy in hot summer weather.

Yes, if you go easy on it. One or two sprays give a polished, sophisticated scent that is not overpowering. Save heavier application for evenings.

Naxos is a great date night fragrance. Its warm honey, tobacco and vanilla are inviting and sensual, and it suits dinners and evening events.

Naxos is often compared to other sweet tobacco scents such as Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille and Parfums de Marly Herod. Many wearers find Naxos brighter and more refined, thanks to its lavender and citrus opening and its signature honey.

Naxos is one of Xerjoff's most approachable and crowd-pleasing scents. It is warmer and more gourmand than Erba Pura's fruity profile and softer and easier to wear than Casamorati Mefisto.

Naxos is widely seen as one of the benchmark tobacco fragrances in niche perfumery. Its quality ingredients, strong performance and versatility make it a worthwhile investment for anyone who loves warm, sweet scents.

Two to three sprays are ideal. Naxos is rich and long-lasting, so more is rarely needed.

Yes. Naxos is one of Xerjoff's most loved fragrances, and its rich honey and tobacco profile appeals to a wide range of people, making it a safe and impressive gift.
