Unexpected winner
Well well this was highly unexpected. I ordered this set of samples from Xerjoff and I added Uden because the name probably stuck from a review somewhere or something, I don’t recall. I didn’t have any high hopes on it though, Naxos is “the one” anyway, right?
Was I wrong or what? First spray and I’m like okay…. Nice, freshly squeezed lemon. But then after a while it begins evolving into this rich, slightly sweet, slightly dry amber vanilla goodness. Somewhere halfway, about 4 hours in, it starts whafting these dry tabacco-esque whiffs. Although the note is not listed, this strikes me more as a tobacco-scent than Naxos. Maybe it’s the dryness of the woody notes. Anyway it’s definitely got the x-factor to me. That stuff that makes your brain pop out.
Sillage is a bit weird. One time I get unsurpassed projection, even smelling it very well when leaving a room and re-entering. The other I barely smell it, getting overruled by other smells around me. Ah well as long as I smell it myself I’m good. I can smell it all day long so that’s good as well.
Am I getting a full bottle of this? Hell yeah.
