400 Xerjoff 2018

First of all WOW - what a fragrance experience!!! For me, a great Naxos alternative for spring/summer. While the "Naxos | XerJoff" releases more tobacco and comes across as coarser, the "400 | XerJoff" is definitely smoother.

There are definitely similarities due to the honey and tobacco, but the "400 | XerJoff" tends to go in a more floral direction as it develops.

I tested both on my arms and must say that they create a very pleasant feeling for me. Nevertheless, the heaviness of the notes in Naxos is more suitable for cold days - and that's where the 400 comes in.
With the light mandarin and floral notes in the heart, I find it quite fitting for warmer days in spring or during the transition between summer and autumn.

Longevity and sillage are very good - it easily lasts through a workday for me. My wife prefers this perfume over Naxos for the aforementioned reasons of "lightness" but without being weak.

The high summer test is still to come this year, but I think it can work in the evenings during summer - I’m already looking forward to the upcoming sunny season - just to unpack the summer fragrances!

It has already passed the test at a mild 15 degrees recently.

The quality of the leather box and the bottle is typically Xerjoff at a very high level. Price/quality ratio is okay for the performance offered.
