This is one of the best fragrances period. Lovers of both niche and designer will love this fragrance. It's very well balanced. Honey, tobacco, lavender, tonka, vanilla. It's amazing and actually pretty versatile. You can wear this all year really. Obviously control your sprays in the summer.
My very first fragrance from Xerjoff was Naxos, so I will always think of it as my most favorite. I am a woman but just love this one. When very hot weather arrives, I will switch to More than Words, Apollonia or perhaps I will purchase Nio for the summer months. Last year when I bought it, I still wore it in the summer. I am a older woman but do also love tobacco fragrances even though I have never smoked cigarettes. Loved this video!
One of my absolute favorites! I remember not long ago money was tight and I opted for Alexandria Fragrances version, 1981x...it's REALLY good but there's nothing like the real deal. Excellent review!!!
Naxos is a fragrance where verbal descriptions of the scent will not do justice to this masterpiece! I highly encourage everyone to get it and yes, blind buy worthy!!
I love Xerjoff Naxos. I own a full 100 ml bottle on its latest presentation. Very elegant and enticing. Nice review and comparison. I am a lover of tobacco perfumes. I own over 50 of them, all niche. I bought Naxos because reviews made me believe it was a tobacco perfume. It was a home run blind purchase. HOWEVER, I’m convinced Naxos is not a tobacco perfume. I consider it to be primordially a honey perfume with a slight tobacco undertone, accompanied by equal proportions of cinnamon, vanilla, and lavender. I actually get more lavender than tobacco. But above all, it is all about the honey. But noses are different.
@@bsinatra145 Herod is motherfucker smoky bright tobacco for 30 minutes then it's dry down its the most unbelievable unique mix of sweet/spice/tobacco. Naxos is all bout the opening, Herod is all about the dry down. Naxos is more causal and friendly, Herod will ruin your marriage
My first ever luxurious fragrance purchase and this is absolutely love at first sniff. I want to were it all the time but will reserve wearing it for special occasions and going on date's 🔥🔥🔥
Yes one of my favorites of all time! I agree it gives a mysterious vibe - really great honey with tobacco and the citrus at the top and the lavender keeps it from being sticky or cloying
Hellow aaron, how long projection time? Longevity time? And scent trail in your opinion??? Some people said its a beast, event not very beast. But after i watching this review, he said project only 45 min, and gonna be elbow for 1 - 4 hours. That i think naxos is moderate performance???
Hey Steven... Naxos is my all time fav frag from Xerjoff... In fact my fav tobacco frag ever... Second in line is side effect from Initio and third being Journey Man by Amouage. ✌
Hi..I brought together the naxos and the side effect.i liked them.i have a friend wedding in a few days..what you think I need to wear?and what the most complimentary
@@ilainaor2171 Naxos smells absolutely masculine with the tobacco note. It leans towards more masculine than feminine. But then anyone can wear whatever they want. ✌ You need to decide whether to wear it or not. Since you said you already bought it, now wear it or you've wasted money buying it.
I bought this today. It's nothing short of absolutely stunning. Seen another fraghead in store and we got talking and he showed me this fragrance. Couldn't get my nose off it. Well happy with the purchase.
Naxos displaced Aramis Tobacco Reserve as my favorite "sweet tobacco" scent this past winter. There's the honey and cinnamon and all that but for me it's the pairing of lavender and tobacco that sets it apart. I came into possession of Naxos at about the same time as I received a bottle of Fougere Nobile by Nobile 1942, and it was interesting to compare these two as they both have lavender and tobacco. Naxos is a sweet tobacco scent that has lavender. Fougere Nobile has that very distinguishable Fougere accord, which Naxos does not have.
I wore Naxos last Christmas and kinda oversprayed and overwhelmed my family and friends. They enjoyed the scent but next time I'll dial back to 2 sprays instead of 5.
Watched your video again before I’ll really get this tomorrow. Solid Tobacco based perfume with a really amazing projection so as for sure the longevity. I tried this on my skin today at the Shop where I always buy my Nische perfumes and I was so close to buying it..luckily I’m patient today and said I’ll come back tomorrow for sure! Thanks for this video now I’m even more sure that I want to have this on my collection 👌🏼 cheers and keep rocking it man.
I do love Naxos and have a bottle, but would love to see reviews on other great tobacco fragrances that do not get any reviews. Like Arrakis from Tiziana Terenzi. Different tobacco but still really good and never seen a review on it.
This smells like the sexiest black and mild I’ve ever smoked lol. I’m not disappointed with this purchase. Even straight men compliment me on this one lol 😊
It's a good fragrance. Pretty nostalgic. It reminds me of some cleaner. Lol wish I would've smelled this first then I would say the cleaner smells like NAXOS. Unfortunately I can't remove the memory and I'm spraying the cleaner on. 😅
Is this a safe blind buy if I like Tobacco Vanille? TV is the only thing I’ve smelled that I’ve seen people compare this to. And I did really like it but don’t own it. I have and love Nio and want to add a solid Xerjoff for Fall
I like Tobacco Vanille and I like Naxos too! But they are very different scent wise depite both are regarded as tobacco themed. I would say the Tobacco-ness in TV is very strong while Naxos is more honey based tobacco. Actually I got mostly the honey to be honest. A very clean and fresh honey (lemonly honey) not a thick sweet honey. I blind bought Naxos as well, but I am glad that I like it too!
@@herumesukuan thanks for your input! I ended up ordering Naxos and it should arrive some time this week so fingers crossed haha! I still have a sample of TV that I got from a Tom Ford counter a month or so ago so will also be able to do a side by side for myself but sounds like they won’t be too similar.
Is there a difference between the juice between the 2021 and 2022 batches. I've got a bottle of each, both 100 percent authentic...and for the 2022, the bottle looks more whitish frosted and goes all the way down to the bottom of the bottle and thus the juice looks lighter. Same juice or reformulated? Thank you
Thierry mugliers version of pure havane is the best imo.... nothing comes close. I have an OG bottle I got for 50 bucks and I use it SPARINGLY. Not the Same as that Mugler crap.
@@Redolessence bro do you know about macerate method???? Can i just put a new box sealed (BNIB) in a cool dark place, OR i must spray 10x let the oxygen come into the bottle, then put in a dark place???
Funny now everyone's hyping Xerjoff. Demi Rawling is all on Xerjoff now too. No more talk of Creed or Marly, lol....how much is Xerjoff paying? Be honest or i'll unsub.
Xerjoff is a quality house why does one need to be paid to review such quality ? as I’m going through his reviews he doesn’t have all xerjoff reviews so wtf you on? ….. believe it or not xerjoff is popping off everywhere
@@TrumpWonTwice that’s wack are you jealous? I have over 40 bottles of xerjoff I don’t review them but I could… let me guess they will pay me off too? He makes money on UA-cam; if xerjoff gives a commission for the advertising of their surperior products why you mad?
@@Max865- jealous of what? You don’t think I have $300? Lol. No, I just don’t like smelling like a grandmother. Enjoy your unisex parfum, dainty man. Everyone that smells you knows you’re soft.
Steven, you make me sick as you have a very classy way of presenting fragrances. I am not sure why I did not get Xerjoff Naxos. However, you are one of my favorite fragrance reviewers so much, so I blind buy off what you suggest.

Very simply put, Ive not smelled anything better than XERJOFF NAXOS. So good.
My very first fragrance from Xerjoff was Naxos, so I will always think of it as my most favorite. I am a woman but just love this one.

As a 64 year old woman i also love this scent

I totally get this and agree. Herod is more tobacco.

I remember when i first tried this and got a sample. Literally after smelling the sample i ordered a full bottle within 5 mins
Wow. Yes, this fragrance is very good. Great decision!
My first ever luxurious fragrance purchase and this is absolutely love at first sniff. I want to were it all the time but will reserve wearing it for special occasions and going on date's 🔥🔥🔥
Heard nothing but great things about this one. It's on my radar so hopefully I can get a decant here soon to try later this year.
I just tried this jewel, it will become part of my small collection. Fantastic review!
One of my all-time favorites! I will always have a bottle.
Yes one of my favorites of all time! I agree it gives a mysterious vibe - really great honey with tobacco and the citrus at the top and the lavender keeps it from being sticky or cloying

Omg you killed Santa Clause 🎅
Great review and I enjoyed it and I like this fragrance and I give it a 10 out of 10 and have a blessed night
Great scent. I think the tobacco is more noticeable throughout the dry down. Blind bought this fragrance, & it was worth it!!
A top tier quality tobacco fragrance that every single person will enjoy, most will love, and not in a boring “lowest common denominator” kind of way!
Why you say not boring??? Is not linear?
Bought a bottle today and should be in shortly looking forward your review convinced me
I really hope you love it. This fragrance is fantastic!
@@Redolessence I love fragrances with tobacco
I just now tried it from a sampler of the perfume house. I am in love.

Definitely one of those on my list to purchase thanks for the great review it definitely bumped it up on my list to purchase sooner
This is one of the best fragrances ever released.
This is infinitely better than Pure Havane, and I like Pure Havane a lot.
Naxos to me is more about the honey than the tobacco. I consider it to be a tobacco-infused honey perfume, not a honeyed tobacco perfume.
Such an informative review Stephen. Thank you so much 😊. I am awaiting a decant and this review has certainly wet my appetite 🥰.
Hope you enjoy it!
Very addicting smell and the way it develops over time is exquisite. My signature scent ❤️
Thanks for sharing!
Hey Steven, let's see what you got
Would you say Naxos could be Unisex?
Ok you answered my question.
This is my #1 scent from my favorite house.
I own Naxos and really enjoy it.
I do love Naxos and have a bottle, but would love to see reviews on other great tobacco fragrances that do not get any reviews. Like Arrakis from Tiziana Terenzi. Different tobacco but still really good and never seen a review on it.

Hi, thanks for the video! how is this Naxos vs Erba pure which one is better ..?!
This is better than Pure Havane. It's smoother, fresher, and more versatile. It's also much higher quality.
Just bought naxos..can wait to get it this week!!! 🔥🔥🔥
Hope you enjoy it!
hi.. what batch you get? is naxos reformulated?
@@Abcdefk-u na i dont think so tbh
If it doesn’t project longer than an hour not worth 200
Love Naxos for me I wear anytime maybe not high heat, off course in the UK it’s rare to be above warm!
IMO, Amouage Journey Man is the best tobacco perfume
Is this a safe blind buy if I like Tobacco Vanille? TV is the only thing I’ve smelled that I’ve seen people compare this to. And I did really like it but don’t own it.

did you end up testing? does 2022 perform well?
What do you think of commandante xerjoff as a tobacco fragrance??
Brought it last year ✌🏾🔥🔥🔥♥️🎯💯used it on special occasions..
Once a week lols
For me the best is Luxor, what a beautiful fragrance
I see a naxos but in an all white bottle
Is it the same fragrance just diffrent bottle?
Oh, I forgot to mention that I do love and own Mancera’s Red Tobacco and a few tobacco fragrances from Tom Ford.
Naxos, is dedicated to a little beach town of Messina in Sicily (not the Greek island)
I have been to Messina as it where my grandfather was born. Sicily is a beautiful place.
it s my firs xerjoff and I love it even now in june :D
Hey Steven I’m curious what’s your favorite from the brand?
Hey! I think maybe Nio!
Thanks ✊🏽
It’s got enough citrus in the opening for me to wear it on 100 degree days
Thank you so much for sharing
Hello
New or old batch ?
Love the fragrance but I don’t catch any honey from it at all, the lavender and powdery notes hit heavier on mine for sure
is naxos reformulated? planning buy naxos this year
@Dirk Diddler is it still worth?
Xerjoff never reformulate their fragrances
Smells very similar to Thierry Mugler pure Havane
SOTD office for men by Jeremy Fragrance
Great video
Well done !
Why does five bottle look white in some vids and some its a honey color?
I like zefiro more.
I love it.
great content but worth getting a better mic
Uhuuuuuu 😍👏👏😍👏😍👏👏😍👏😍
I bought this fragrance yesterday online from Selfridges! :) just hoping that it hasn’t been reformulated like a lot of people say.
How is it??
How is it?
How is it?
Thierry mugliers version of pure havane is the best imo.... nothing comes close. I have an OG bottle I got for 50 bucks and I use it SPARINGLY. Not the Same as that Mugler crap.
Not to mention naxos is literally a clone almost of the original pure havane. Without the lavender
Mafia Boss type of fragrances
For sure!

However, you are one of my favorite fragrance reviewers so much, so I blind buy off what you suggest.
