Miami! Oud
I think it would have suited the name much better.
Because what I get in the opening is:
Coconut, rum, honey, and then oud.
When I read the notes at the beginning, I honestly expected something different, and with each wear, I discover a new, special note. Sometimes a bit fruitier, sometimes a bit woodier, sometimes dark and sexy.
The fragrance is incredibly versatile and so special. But the oud note remains a constant companion. The coconut keeps coming through again and again.
This scent is definitely not an ordinary fragrance. It stands out. In my opinion, it is also not a blind buy candidate; you have to like the oud and the coconut rum note.
I really recommend testing this fragrance. Try it, let it sit for a few hours, and then smell it again. It also lasts quite a long time on the paper strip. And now we come to the point that really bothers me about this scent.
H/S yes, the longevity and sillage are really disappointing for me. Despite the explosive start with the oud, the fragrance then becomes very close to the skin. What a shame.
As for the Naxos association, I can definitely agree with the predecessors, and I don’t know who ever threw that association into the room. Because as everyone has already said, no... Definitely not Naxos.

Subtle Oriental
As a blind buy from the TNB collection, I got you and could hardly wait to test you. At first, I am greeted by plum and cinnamon. Delicious! The perfect scent for the Christmas season. Gourmand sweet. But then, after a short time: where are you, my beautiful fragrance? Or have I become nose-blind? Unfortunately, others can no longer perceive the scent on me after a short time, and I can’t smell it on them either. Maximum 3 hours, and the sillage is even shorter for me; it becomes incredibly close to the skin in no time. For an extrait, this is really disappointing for me. What a pity, because the opening is truly perfectly fruity sweet and opulent. Whether I would associate the scent with Dubai, I cannot say, but it is really nice for winter. So, for those who do not want to overwhelm their family with a scent at Christmas, royal Dubai is definitely worth it. Personally, I would have wished for more power.

Beautiful, But...
A beautiful, very cozy warm scent. Neroli in such a soft form carried by sandalwood. The fragrance itself doesn't really change but gently oscillates.
The longevity is about 4 hours during which I perceived the scent myself. However, now we come to the main problem. It is only perceived by those in close proximity, meaning I have to hold my arm directly under someone's nose. I myself have occasionally sensed the scent lightly, but I also sprayed it directly and generously on my clothing and body. So for me, it’s more of a lovely cuddle or "going to bed scent".
The bottle itself is really beautiful, even with the cap. However, when removing it, it has unfortunately happened to me several times that I accidentally twisted the spray head off. Super annoying as it caused perfume to spill.
In summary, the scent is not a recommendation for purchase. What a pity...

Grandma's Powder Puff
A powderiness envelops me as soon as I open the bottle. Wow. On the skin, it develops an incredible strength, and you really have to use it very very very sparingly.
The scent itself doesn't really change for me over time; this creamy powder note is truly very strong, and I can only faintly perceive rose and other floral scents.
The fragrance evokes childhood memories of Grandma's cosmetics cabinet. A lovely scent for anyone who loves creamy powderiness. However, I see the target audience for this fragrance as more suited for those aged 30 and above, and definitely feminine.
Bottle: the milk glass is really beautiful and has a slightly vintage feel, like a fragrance you discover in your grandparents' cabinet. However, I am very disappointed with the emblem; after just two uses, the inscription is already scratched. What a shame.
Sillage/Projection: outstanding. Two sprays are definitely enough for me. Longevity is about 7 hours.

Frankincense over Frankincense
I have been able to test all the All Saints fragrances so far, and I love that the notes are very reduced, giving the scent a clear line. In this case: frankincense. But a beautiful, gentle frankincense that carries you well through the day and shines through again and again. The scent itself changes little, and the woods blend into the frankincense, forming a harmonious unity throughout. The longevity for me is about 4 to 6 hours. However, it stays quite close to the body, which is certainly not bad for a frankincense scent; who wants to smell like Christmas Eve all the time?
The price-performance ratio is great.
