The perfect sweet and spicy ending on a late summer evening
Before I start with my fragrance description and associations maybe a few words beforehand, since this is my first review. I am since about 12 months on this site and have since discovered the perfume world for me.
I started out classically with the designers and then quickly moved on to other niche houses via typical niche entrants like PdM Layton or Creed fragrances. I was fortunately able to test many fragrances (of which I have given only a few here. In due course I will update all tested perfumes times) and have also some very good 9/10 or 9.5/10 fragrances for me to discover.
However, I said to myself. If I discover a 10/10 fragrance for me I write my first review, because I want to take my time for it.
And here is my first 10/10 fragrance. Naxos. Or as I wrote in my statement about the scent. My first tobacco honey love.

Scenery: It's a Monday night. Around 8pm. 20° and cloudless skies. I'm coming home after a busy day. A house in the nature. The table is already set on the terrace. One can look from there wonderfully into the nature. It's the end of August. So almost all wheat fields are harvested by now. In the distance you can only see a single one between a few corn fields and the harvested fields. As I stand on the terrace, I see two new plants hanging on the canopy. Notice these but no further.
A small time jump to the end of the meal.
"This homemade lemon juice we always mix into the water is really fucking awesome." I still have the strong taste in my mouth. The only thing that can just rival that taste is the smell of those new plants hanging from the patio roof. "What is that anyway?" I stand up and look closely for the first time. "Ahh lavender. I knew I'd seen that somewhere. It's not really my thing. Luckily they hang further away and not directly above the dining table. Otherwise the scent would be super annoying."
From the main course is no taste or smell more there. But instead, dessert is already on the table. Obviously something warm, because it is still steaming. I smell something sweet. "Is that honey?" It is now 21:30 and still 14° warm. We change seats from the table to the cushioned bench. Kind of a couch. I light a fire in the fire pit. Far enough away to have no smoke smell. Madame lights her favorite scented candle and grabs her cashmere blanket. For dessert we have a vanilla cream with honey and some more decorations, which I have no idea about. The scented candle smells pleasantly of sweet tobacco and tonka bean. From here on out, it's all feel-good smells and sweetness. In the foreground, the honey and vanilla from the dessert, and all around us, that sweet tobacco gets stronger by the minute. The tonka bean stays in the background at first and then comes out at the very end when we're just sitting there watching the deer in the fields at dusk. This fresh lemon I've already completely forgotten, which was still on my tongue earlier.
None of these scents are annoying or penetrating. It's as if something tames all the scents and keeps them from being annoying. Is it the cashmere blanket or is it that decoration on my dessert? I don't know. But because of exactly this for me unknown player the scent combination is only perfect. Super noble and at the same time sweet and spicy, so that one simply feels 100% comfortable.
For me, the perfect scent combination for just such a moment. Outside on a mild summer evening to relax with the view of nature while enjoying dessert.
Naxos is unisex wearable. Since at me tobacco and tonka after the first hour are very dominant and send the honey on the third place, I wear him but prefer myself.
