Anniversary Farmacia SS. Annunziata 2021

As some may know, this fragrance is often associated with Xerjoff Naxos. With a lot of imagination, I can sense some similarities...

First of all, I must say that both fragrances are excellent. However, what stands out to me in direct comparison is that the Farmacia Anniversary opens much softer. When sprayed, both fragrances share their greatest similarity in my opinion. Only that Naxos really takes off right away...

As it develops, I clearly detect the rose and leather notes. The tobacco is only faintly present here. Cedarwood and saffron are also distinctly noticeable. I find the Anniversary to be much more suitable for everyday wear due to its soft character and a bit more wearable for normal daily activities.

It radiates moderately and never overwhelms its surroundings. It can be perceived up close for up to 8 hours. For me, it's a very appealing fragrance, but I wouldn't compare it to Naxos.
