Honey bomb from Italy

So here it is, my second contribution to the Parfumo community.

I have chosen the fragrance "Naxos" from the house "Xerjoff", because this fragrance is smelled over and over again by me.
In advance I would like to note that I own the fragrance only as a bottling, but the fragrance already physically as a bottle in the hands held.

The fragrance description I would like to divide into the already generally known categories:

1. The bottle:

The bottle has a super look, looks massive, noble and is an eye-catcher in any place - typical Xerjoff just.

2. The smell:

Naxos is known for its honey/tobacco combination, which is also quite always present during the course of the fragrance.
The fragrance itself is very sweet and partly felt soapy. Many would also like to say that it is in places pappig and one-dimensional.
The latter is unfortunately not to be dismissed out of hand, but that makes the fragrance somehow also.
If you wear this fragrance, you just want to enjoy the core notes of the fragrance and they are as I said always perceptible.

In general, you can say that the fragrance actually builds strongly on the honey and plays in the background with tobacco notes.
However, these are very discreetly woven into the fragrance, which is why it is always difficult for me, in any case, to smell them out specifically.
In addition, there are citrus notes, which I can not name precisely.
The fragrance is thus in places also "fresh".

All in all, the fragrance seems very noble and self-confident.
One (s) should not shy away from the fragrance, because I have already received several compliments from women for the fragrance.

I would recommend the fragrance for the colder season or the colder days of the year.
However, I have also tested it on warmer days, which is why this is more of a recommendation on my part.

3. The projection / sillage:

The projection and sillage of the fragrance is very strong - this is especially true in the first hours of the fragrance.
The fragrance is consistently well perceived, but should NOT be overdosed.
I have also unfortunately already accomplished that a work colleague was "allowed" to perceive the fragrance in a briefly visited office for a very long time.

4. The durability:

Naxos has a good shelf life and is perceptible even after several hours.
However, the increasingly skin(er) once several hours have passed.
In general, the known 8+ hours are quite realistic, if not partly even understated.
Especially on colder days I have the feeling that the fragrance is stronger than on others.

5. My conclusion:

Naxos is one of, if not (considering the price) the best fragrance from the house of Xerjoff.
He can certainly be called the entry and at the same time as the "flagship" of the house.
The fragrance is consistently unisex and you get a lot of quality for a relatively "low" Xerjoff price.
All in all, however, the fragrance is rather something for fans of gourmand fragrances.
