Just one word: masterpiece!
I know, strong words for a headline, but I don't think there's any other way to describe this fragrance.
I have tested many, many sweet fragrances in the meantime, but I was blown away by this bottle.
When I sprayed it on for the first time, it was a small sample that I had as a supplement in a souk, I immediately had a big, fat grin on my face. I rarely have that with fragrances, but I immediately realized: Oh boy, what is that? You have to have it!
And suddenly I didn't care at all about the actual fragrance I wanted to test. I was immediately captivated by the black sailor.
This finely balanced blend of cardamom, iris and a beautiful vanilla (not the cheap, scratchy kind) is uniquely delicious, downright addictive. I have unbelievably smelled it on my hand at least 100 times.
The first time I actually wore this fragrance to work, I received nothing but compliments. And lots of them. Even from people who normally don't like me...you have to achieve that first :D
The sillage is completely fine, the first 2-3 hours it projects really exemplary, as soon as someone came into my office, I'm sitting about 5m away from the door, they noticed my scent immediately and showered me with compliments.
I would also describe the durability as good, 6-8 hours depending on the type, if I spray it properly on my clothes in the morning I can still recognize it well in the afternoon.
Overall, I can only give it a 10 out of 10. As already mentioned in the title: a masterpiece!

Unfortunately, I can't understand the hype.
I don't know if it's my bottling, I don't think so because I got it from a long-established parfumo, but I find this fragrance extremely strange.
The way it was described here, I was expecting an absolute vanilla explosion...

Naxos in Swedish. Rough, with rough edges.
I love Naxos. This mix of tobacco and honey is just my thing. My uncle had a fragrance in the early 90s that smelled very similar, don't ask me what it was called, I haven't the faintest idea. And unfortunately he's no longer...
