    For me it's close to Naxos after you let it macerate/sit on the shelf for a while (After a few spray). I know people want it right away to smell similar, but if your patient, the percentage % of closeness will go up.

  • @Feemy

    I just received this and im in love. It's not as nuanced as Naxos which is perfumery art, but this is great in its own way while being very close to Naxos.
    And actually I prefer the toned down sweetness and more fresher smell of this, meaning it can be used for day and night.
    It's captivating, and a truly gorgeous fragrance considering the price.

    I'm sitting here with a decant of this, and I'll be honest-it's unlike anything else in my collection and not something you'd encounter more frequently. After seeing this video, I'm certain that it's not too far off because, among the qualities you said that I also noticed, it's not too sweet, which works fairly well for me. Thank you.

    • @Feemy
      @Feemy Рік тому +3

      I agree, it's definitely sweet, more than he's making out that it's not. I think it's the perfect balance of sweetness and aromatic especially if you let the bottle sit to macerate/homogenise for a few weeks. This stuff is straight up gorgeous

    Your explanation is to the point , I own tons of middle eastern dupes aside with the OGs , just got my bottle today and I really didn't like the over citric trace in it compared to Naxos , still find Dua's fortune is by far better and closer , didn't try Alexandria's
    I think it may need to macerate. Hopefully, the tobacco honey feel in Naxos shines more after a while .

    Alexandria has a clone of this called 1981X. Would like to see you do that comparison. I've never smelled the original but had a decant of 1981X. Judging by the comments I see all the time, it's got to be more than 95% close. Might cost $20-40 more than this depending on the size you buy but probably well worth it.

      @@brody8623... could be a number of other reasons ... when (if?) They send out fragrances for review you don't know what 'conditions' may be attached. There has been talk that some houses attach conditions although reviewers have been loathe to mention specific names because they don't want to get in to a back and forth 'incident' and would rather focus on content - so instead they just shy away from those brands.
      I know I have seen brands like Dossier send out these mass shipping/marketing events because suddenly within 2-3 days there are a half dozen (probably more I don't watch) reviewers reviewing the same fragrance ... and (perhaps legit 🤔) all positive reviews.
      On the flip side some houses don't get reviewed as often because they don't send out free fragrances for review.
      Still others don't get reviewed because there are hundreds of other reviewers doing reviews of them ... and UA-cam is after all a business where you need clicks to be successful and make money ... so many reviewers try to be different (i.e. just: retro fragrances, niche houses, high end, cheapies etc.).

    • @totalbliss1
      @totalbliss1 Рік тому +8

      Have both a 10ml decanter of Naxos and 1981x and it is similar in the drydown but it certainly doesn't replace Naxos at all. Naxos is so much better noticeably. Now, if you just want a second rate version of a true masterpiece, you can go for it but I say to get the real thing. You won't be disappointed.
      Btw, I have about 9 AF fragrances and like majority of them but when you smell the original for most of them, you can tell the difference. With that said, out of my large collection of fragrances, one of my all time favorite one, regardless of brand, is 1984 Hafez by AF. It is divine.
