Great Boozy & Gourmand(ish) Scent
Just got into Navitus XO Brandy and man… this one’s grown-man cozy with a boozy twist. I believe it was created by Dominique Ropion for Navitus Parfums (they’ve been teaming up with big-name noses lately), this scent leans into that warm, sweet, slightly spiced vibe without going full sugar bomb. I immediately get hit with brandy and cinnamon right away—it’s got that same smooth opening energy you find in Angels’ Share by Kilian, but XO Brandy keeps it a little more grounded and wearable day to night in my opinion. Then it slides into a syrupy plum and immortelle combo that kinda reminds me of a softer Straight to Heaven, but with less edge and more comfort. The dry down’s all about oak, vanilla bourbon, and patchouli—it wears like a warm hug from someone who knows what they’re doing. If you’re into boozy gourmands that don’t scream for attention but still turn heads, this one’s worth checking out.

Sweet, boozy, floral mostly-gourmand
XO Brandy is one of the newest three releases from Navitus Parfums x Big Beard Business. It’s sweet and boozy, but with a noticeably floral side to it, featuring notes of brandy, almond, heliotrope, sugar, sandalwood, patchouli, and tolu balsam. It strikes me as nice unisex evening or cooler-weather option, especially. It’s certainly not as dark as earlier BBB releases like Exalt Nuit or Soir Exclusif, but occupies a bit of a midrange, similar to Empyreal in Steven’s latest collection, in this respect, so it’s a bit more versatile, seasonally and situation-wise, than some of the heavier and more intense Navitus releases, historically.

It mostly feels like a gourmand, even with the heliotrope, patchouli, and other less food notes, and performs pretty well. XO Brandy, like the other recent releases from Steven and BBB, is priced at $145 for 100ml, with additional discounts currently available.

Sweet apple coffee-marzipan.
Stays gourmand.
A bit too sweet for me.

Until the dry down, the patchouli is bothersome. But then all the gourmands come through, and it becomes so beautiful. Navitus knows how to blend.
