Creative fresh, spicy, sharp blend
Starting to sample the latest trio of Navitus Parfums releases curated by Steven Gavrielatos, and the first is Aweigh, marketed as the freshest of the new trio. It’s a fresh, sharp, spicy mix achieved by coconut, arrays of citruses (lime, grapefruit, yuzu, bergamot) and spices (pepper, ginger, clary sage, nutmeg), two key florals (lavender, geranium), and a dry down of vetiver, tonka, incense, musk and sandalwood. The note breakdown rings true—there are the sharp, heady qualities of the lavender and geranium, a boatload of varied spices, plenty of fresh, tart citruses, and a try down with just a hint of sweetness.
Aweigh has elements of Tom Ford Lavender Extreme and Molinard Lavande on the sharp lavender side, but certainly some fresh citrus cocktail fragrances like Creed Virgin Island Water, and the coconut/resinous/woods aspect of the risk comes out more over time, and the sharpness fades a bit.
Compared to prior Navitus releases, it’s not quite as easy on the nose as say, Soleil Matin or Elation, but closer to Verve Matin in that it’s multifaceted and defies classification somewhat. Its opening is challenging but its dry down is rewarding.
Overall, I’m pleased with it and positively delighted that the price point for this and the other new releases is $145 for 100ml.
