There is no doubt that Naxos by Xerjoff is a striking fragrance: opulent and sweet, with honey, tobacco and citrus notes that immediately impress. The composition is undoubtedly of high quality and the longevity is also decent. Anyone who likes warm, gourmand fragrances with masculine depth could find exactly what they are looking for here. However, despite the successful fragrance structure, a bitter aftertaste remains - and that is the price. Naxos is priced in the absolute luxury segment, but in my opinion does not offer enough added value to justify this claim. Yes, the smell is pleasant. But extraordinary? Revolutionary? No, not really. It brings back strong memories of other, less expensive fragrances with a comparable profile - such as Mugler Pure Havane or Armaf Club de Nuit Intense Man, which may not have the same sophistication, but evoke similar feelings in everyday life.

Sel Santal surprises with a creamy, slightly salty sandalwood composition with clean freshness and warmth in the drydown. It's not a scent that screams loud, but that's exactly what makes it so wearable and pleasant. Of course, this is a niche experience, but for the price, this is a good fragrance. It smells higher quality and is versatile. Summary: Sel Santal is a good fragrance for the price. It is minimalist, stylish and reliable. If you like sandalwood, you shouldn't go wrong here.

Perseus is a fresh, citrusy-aromatic fragrance that immediately opens with lively bergamot, crisp greenery and a slightly creamy base. A summer fragrance through and through. Hardly any other fragrance from the brand is criticized as often as this one. And to be honest, I don't understand the hate. Perseus is not a complex work like Layton or Herod. It does not reinvent the wheel. It is an elegant alternative for anyone who likes fresh, sophisticated fragrances. It is reminiscent of Chanel Bergamote 22 and Chanel Allure Homme Edition Blanche, but with the typical Parfum de Marly DNA: clean, round and elegantly packaged. The fragrance is very suitable for a fresh scent. As always, the bottle is a real eye-catcher.

Vicebomb is a fragrance that is loud, sweet and seductive. From the very first spray, it is clear that cherry takes center stage. The best cherry ever captured in a perfume.
Amarena cherries meet vanilla, almonds and a light spiciness. The sweetness is sweet, but not sticky. The fragrance has rough edges. That's what makes it so exciting. Vicebomb is for anyone who is not afraid to stand out. The performance is outstanding. You are carried away in a cloud of cherries for hours. And unlike many cherry fragrances that seem artificial or flat, Vicebomb always remains high-quality and surprisingly rounded.

Wu Long Cha X is a citrus fragrance with an elegant tea base. Bergamot, orange and oolong tea provide a clean start, reminiscent of a high-quality spa atmosphere. Later, floral and woody nuances are added to round off the whole. Is that good? It can be compared to Louis Vuitton's Imagination. Both fragrances combine freshness, transparency and elegance. Imagination is even rounder, more refined and deeper. Wu Long Cha X is a strong fragrance. It is modern, clean and extremely wearable. Anyone who loves Imagination will be very happy here.
