My Xerjoff Naxos sticks to my skin, it's the batch straight after they changed it. It's strong, it's amazingly done. And it keeps going all day when I'm home and also outside. It works brilliant. Imagine when it's stronger after a year.. Oh boy 😂 thanks for the short and quick explanation Karim
I just received my first ever xerjof which is naxos of course , it’s a new batch 4 months old .. and yeah it’s not like what i was thinking .. it’s citrusy + aromatic. I can smell the honey and the tobacco but not that heavy dark one. So I’ll let it rest and i hope it will be thicker . Thanks for your review
Mine is less sweet and not so heavy on the lavender. Batch 09522N(almost 6 months old)My sample was lavender heavy and more sweet. I just did 2 sprays of a brand new bottle. It's definitely not weak. After manceration i think it Will get better and sweeter. I think you are right, it's a little more citrus heavy which i like. The lavender is more balanced in this Batch imo. Edit: after setteling of the initial spray, it is still Naxos 😎
I bought Naxos a week ago with the same batch as yours (09522N). I love the smell but I do not get neither the projection nor the sillage that everybody talk about. Last night I sprayed 6 sprays before going out and got like 1-2hr longevity and sillage was way below average. I believe that either the Naxos has to macerate or it just does not work on my skin. What is your experience and how is yours performing a few months later?
I have batch 09522N , I purchased it in July 2022 so nearly 6 months ago . The performance is great and I only use 3 sprays max , received a nice compliment from a women the other night about how nice I smelt .
I just got Naxos (first niche!). It’s August batch. I was super excited for it but it really only lasts about 5 hours on my skin, which usually hold fragrances very well. So you eased my mind about it needing to take time! Im envious of those who get to smell it all day though.
More than definitely didn't. The performance on mine is trash in terms of projection and sillage. It literally lasts an hour and a half and then it becomes a beast mode skin scent. That lasts from 15-20 hours on my skin. That's not what I was expecting and certainly not what I want in a scent I paid so much for. Which sucks because I love the smell a lot. But I barely get the faintest of tobacco, it's just a little bit of a tobacco edge. Barely noticeable in the slightest. Only getting honey and lavender the entire time.
I love so much that you unveil the evil side of perfumery telling us the riformulated fragrances that were not announced by the brands, it's up on us customers and entusiasts beware our affairs
My bottle is even much older than yours (year 2016). It is square, as were the first Xerjoff bottles. I don't know what to think with Xerjoff's reformulations. Same thing with "Richwood." The new version lost all its magic.Same happened with another mythical perfumery house, the Amouage attars. The white box "Homage" and "Tribute" were the most amazing things I've ever smelled. Then the IFRA banned certain ingredients and everything changed. Now they don't exist anymore. Luckily I keep some bottles. Thx fot¡r this great review !! 🤘

Schönes Video! Meine Abfüllung roch sehr nach Tabak und Honig. Sehr würzig. Der neu gekaufte Flakon hingegen viel blumiger und fast schon feminin. Lavendel sticht deutlich heraus. Die Abfüllung gefiel mir deutlich besser. Reift der Inhalt des Flakons soweit nach, dass der Duft sich dem der Abfüllung anpassen wird?
Danke! Denke schon wobei die neuen Inhaltsstofe evtl nicht so mit deiner Haut harminieren werden wie du es villeicht wünschst. Abwarten und Tee trinken.
It is not declared as “Lilial” it is declared as “butylphenyl methylpropional” which is Lilial. The new formulation doesn’t have that ingredients anymore and it was replaced by another one. I have everything said and written in the video with text in video 💪🏼
Bro. Is it still worth buying naxos in 2023. As you know it’s really expensive. Is the performance is still good enough. Interms of longevity and projection. Plz guide me. I am really into it. Should I buy or not?
Hi Karim, after I sprayed the fragrance I put the bottle inside the box again. Is this a good way that the fragrance can macerate? You think Xerjoff is still a good one to buy after the reformulation? Hope you can explain how to store a fragrance in a future video. I like your reviews, keep up the good work!
Hi my friend i heard that there was another reformulation after this formulation so i might need to do another video. But putting the fragrance in a box after spraying is definitely good. Will do the requested video soon!
So any Naxos batches before March 2022 are the old formulation? So a February 2022 batch would be considered an "old" batch? Also Amazing video! This is great information!! Thanks!
That’s good to know. Because even they reformulated the YSL Y edp. But if it’s new, still get it and let it sit. Even designers need to macerate at times
I have the 32021N batch and just got the 21423N today. Color of the liquid is darker in the old batch but dont know if its due to macerating over time. When it comes to the smell the old batch just smells stronger in the base with the honey almost a touch sweeter boozier. Where the new batch its more even.
Naxos has been reformulated even before which was in 2017 or 2018 or so... if you see batches from 2016, you will see that the juice is so much stronger in color and much darker than everything from 2019, 2020 and 2021.
Hey love the review, but i have a quick question. in 3:23 you mentioned that fragrances develop over time, is that true? because i have a creed aventus and its very weak so i was wondering if it would get better over time
Thanks! Yes fragrances macerate with time if stored correctly (dry,dark,cool) In case of Creed Aventus just move on bro it’s by far not worth the money even with maceration process
Great video bought a second bottle of Naxos and felt like it didn’t project like my first one from a month ago but will give it some time as you said 🙏
hi I’m new and getting into cologne and went all out and purchased the new batch of naxos last weekend and found out about the formulation after watching your video. On skin I noticed how it’ll last me 5-6 hours then turns into a skin scent. Do you think the longevity will increase over time?
Naxos Xerjoff.. So what’s going on with this fragrance and me? I have a few samples and when I spray it on my skin I basically get a very slight tobacco and cosmetics smell and that’s it. On clothing I get some citrus with the slight tobacco and cosmetics but mainly citrus on the clothing and that’s it.. I have never had such issues with a fragrance before.. With all the wonderful reviews I was really looking forward to enjoying Naxos…Anyone else have these issues with Naxos 😢😢😢😢
Please do you know from which year PFDM started riformulating Oajan too? I love its opening but performances are weak and the dry down is 100% equal to tonka cola that lasts all day
I bought 2 bottles 2023. Both terrible performance - lasts 8 hours but no projection. Idk why would the do this. Alex 2, MTW, Ivory Route 2023 still great and beast mode.
Thank you for sharing your experience. I got MTW and Ivory Route from 23 aswell and i am very happy. I don’t get why people get bad performance with Naxos it’s quite good on me
Noseblind one of the reasons, everyone is different, some noses get used really quickly to naxos, some don’t. Thats why there are so many different comments on the performance.
Hellow, you said the oldest one is more stronger because it has a macerate process right?... I want to ask.... If i buy a new bottle in the box sealed (new not open), can i just macerate it? Without doing some spray? Because many youtuber said you must spray 10x for let the air come into the bottle then macerate process is running.
Bro. Is it still worth buying naxos in 2023. As you know it’s really expensive. Is the performance is still good enough. Interms of longevity and projection. Plz guide me. I am really into it. Should I buy or not?
i got a weak ass batch, form late 22 , im letting it mature for the next few months just for an experiment to see how it all plays ou t, I've had it for about a month and the juice has got a bit more yellow and the scent does linger a bit more and is a bit richer.. will keep yall updated, wont buy this again though lol
