Sweet Tobacco Avapari
1
The little brother with the chewing 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, his aura heavy and unmistakable. He's that guy who walks into a room and immediately takes it all in - sweet and warm to the core, but with enough dirt under his fingernails to look dangerous.
And then comes the little brother. Avapari.
Fresh from the hairdresser, clean shirt, everything tidy. He tries to look just as cool as his big brother - but instead of a real cigarette, he sticks a chewing gum cigarette between his lips. He wants to look rebellious, but everyone notices immediately: something is missing.
The fragrance starts off citrusy and then turns sweet and honeyed relatively quickly, just like the original. Pleasant, wearable - but smooth. And that is precisely the problem: the tobacco is missing. This rough, grumpy undertone that makes Naxos so legendary remains a shadow in the background here. Instead of smoke and friction, there is only sugar and cleanliness.
Over time, you recognize the DNA, yes. You know where it's going - but it doesn't get there. It's like a cover band: the chords are right, but the energy is missing. No bass, no crunch, no dirt. Where Naxos smokes a cigarette and lives through the night, Avapari chews his gum cigarette and watches.
Conclusion: For 40-50 € this is a stable fragrance - clean, sweet, suitable for everyday use. But it remains the little brother who tries to be like the big one - only with a chewing gum cigarette instead of tobacco. Likeable, yes. Legendary, no.
