The Little Brother with the Gum Cigarette
Naxos is the big brother.
He stands there with a real cigarette in the corner of his mouth, leather jacket half open, his voice deep from tobacco, the aura heavy and unmistakable. He is that guy who walks into a room and immediately takes over - sweet and warm at the core, but with enough dirt under his fingernails to seem dangerous.
And then comes the little brother. Avapari.
Fresh from the barber, clean shirt, everything neat. He tries to look just as cool as his big brother - but instead of a real cigarette, he sticks a gum cigarette between his lips. He wants to look rebellious, yet everyone immediately notices: something is missing.
The scent starts citrusy and then relatively quickly transitions to sweet and honeyed, just like the original. Pleasant, wearable - but polished. And that’s exactly the problem: the tobacco is missing. That rough, buzzing undertone that makes Naxos so legendary remains just a shadow in the background here. Instead of smoke and friction, there’s only sugar and cleanliness.
Over time, you recognize the DNA, yes. You know where it wants to go - but it doesn’t arrive. It’s like a cover band: the chords are right, but the energy is missing. No bass, no crunch, no dirt. While Naxos smokes the cigarette and lives through the night, Avapari dutifully chews on his gum cigarette and watches.
Conclusion: For €40-50, this is a solid scent - clean, sweet, suitable for everyday wear. But it remains the little brother trying to be like the big one - just with a gum cigarette instead of tobacco. Likable, yes. Legendary, no.
