Versatile masterpiece

Naxos. The one with the most hype. And rightly so?

The marketing package is outstanding. The bottle? A work of art.
The name? "Naxos". Sounds wonderful. The quality of the fragrance? Luxurious.

The fragrance is special, complex and absolutely high-quality, but at the same time pleasing.
Luxury, love, joie de vivre.
A fragrance progression is always present. I like the somewhat ethereal, balsamic, lemon candy-like top note the least, but it is still quite pleasant.

The fragrance is beautifully blended, as if from a single source.
A pleasant honey sweetness, in the background a subtle tobacco-lavender mix with a pleasantly dosed spiciness.
I would advise against a blind buy for non-parfumas and parfumos (but generally), as this is a special niche fragrance (not a 0815 shower gel) that you may well not like.

I see it as almost always wearable, even at temperatures up to 25 degrees, if the vibe is right. Last summer, for example, I liked to wear it from time to time on vacation in the Mediterranean on the spacious terrace of my country house with its large garden.
It shines in the fall, in winter and in the evening hours of the warm season.
For my taste, not really something for the office, but on special days in the cold, even that is perfectly legitimate with a spray.
Naxos has good longevity with a strong sillage, which is why I usually use 1 to a maximum of 3 sprays and have therefore often received positive comments about it.

All in all, a work of art that you may not like. For me, it combines niche quality, complexity with pleasantness and versatility. As a result, the price/performance ratio here is absolutely top for me!
Conclusion: hype is real.
