In advance, I was very curious about the scent, especially because of the Naxos associations beforehand. I had imagined something with a lot of tobacco and sweetness (and to be honest, I also hoped for that). What I got here is definitely something different. The fragrance starts off very spicy and alcoholic. I smell a lot of caraway and rum coming through. For me, this is really cool because Miami South Beach is something special. You can't find anything like this anywhere else, in my opinion.

Now let's get to the biggest criticism: longevity and sillage.
I applied the fragrance really generously and from the beginning, I could only perceive it up close. After about 3-4 hours, it was almost gone, which is really a shame for the scent. Actually, this is supposed to be an extrait, but on my skin, it performs really poorly. Unfortunately. Could it be different for you? I find that really disappointing, and it also rules it out as a bottle buy. I would still recommend testing it.

The scent is fresh and citrusy right after spraying, thanks to the bergamot and lemon. After about half an hour, the honey combined with cinnamon comes to the forefront. This note makes up the main part of the perfume until it fades away. The tobacco gives it a certain volume in my opinion. However, it never takes center stage at any time. It is a very unique scent that smells very high-quality.
The longevity on my skin was very good with 3 sprays. After 7 hours (including some time outdoors in strong gusts and rain), I could still perceive the scent, and so could my surroundings. The sillage can be well dosed according to the number of sprays. If you want to stand out with the scent, this is definitely possible. I also think it can be worn very well in summer, though of course less, because the DNA somehow feels summery to me. For winter, it is also excellent due to its sweetness.
In terms of price, it is good when you consider what you get for it. The bottle is, of course, traditionally beautiful as expected from Xerjoff. It is also very suitable for beginners in the niche world. Definitely worth trying out.

The opening is fresh and zesty. The scent overall is somewhat synthetic. However, one must give it credit for its longevity. I could still smell it on myself after 8 hours and received a compliment. The smaller the office space, the fewer sprays please! Generally, the scent is mass-appealing and liked by almost everyone. The bottle is, of course, bottom drawer quality. I bought the scent for 60 euros using discount codes from him, which is a very good price. However, I find the scent grossly overpriced at 180 euros. Give it a try, but don't expect (as marketed by Jeremy) the best of the best ;)

The fragrance starts with the famous metallic note. There is no other way to describe it. Personally, I really like this because it is something unique that defines this scent. It's just a shame that this note only lasts about an hour. I would give the top note a 9/10. After that, the almond comes to the forefront and stays there for about 2 hours. This phase of the perfume gets an 8/10 from me. As it progresses, it turns into a vanilla scent. In my opinion, it ends similarly to Herod or Carlisle in this vanilla-fougere note. Personally, I preferred the first two thirds of the perfume. After 7 hours, the scent slowly fades and becomes close to the skin. The sillage is strong in the first 3 hours but diminishes over time. I would wear this fragrance on a date or when going to a club, but I have also worn it at university (with a few less sprays). The bottle and sprayer are of top quality.

In my opinion, the scent starts off very sweet. However, this sweetness fades over the course of the next half hour to an hour. From then on, it begins to be a lot of fun for me. It is a scent with an Arabic touch, which can be very much appreciated by Europeans. The fragrance is very voluminous in the sense that it fills the space around you. In my opinion, two sprays are completely sufficient. If you are outdoors all day, 4-5 sprays can also be nice. The longevity on my skin is about 6-7 hours. After that, it is still perceptible up close. The bottle is, of course, world-class. What bothered me was that the plastic covering on the cap felt a bit cheap.
