Little Latin America
A rich, complex fragrance that tries to capture the Latin American atmosphere.
The opening is dominated by the citrus line, with the bergamot-lemon-orange trio, then complemented by freesia and juniper.
After the opening, the woody-floral notes unfold: magnolia-jasmine-dry woods, tea.
The base notes are dominated by vanilla-sandalwood-tobacco leaf, which makes the harmony creamy-slightly sweet.
Despite the Iso-E, it is not long-lasting enough on my skin, unlike the other absolutely great fragrance, which is Montabaco Intensivo.

Warm spices
I don't want to write about the perfume itself, but I would like to describe the comparison of the pre-2021 and post-2021 Bach for you:
Older (pre-2021) releases: The honey and tobacco duo was much more pronounced in the drydown. The honey had a deeper, richer, almost liqueur-like character, and the tobacco was darker and more powerful. The scent felt "more serious", richer and full-bodied overall.
Newer (post-2021) releases: The drydown is slightly cleaner and shifted towards the lavender-vanilla-tonka trio. The tobacco note is present, but many find it more subtle, smoother and less raw. The honey is sweet, but not as thick and "sticky" as in the older versions. The scent feels lighter overall.
The older Naxos had an almost "dark" or "thick" honey that, with the tobacco and tonka, gave it a "heady" effect. In the newer version, this honey character is softer, airier, and less dominant.
Performance (longevity and projection):
While Xerjoff Naxos is known for its generally outstanding performance, I have noticed a slight decrease in the post-2021 batches. This does not necessarily mean that the performance is bad, as even the newer version is an extremely long-lasting and projecting scent, but the older releases were slightly stronger. It is important to note that perfumes "mature" through contact with air (maceration), so a fresh bottle may have a stronger scent after a few months.
Summary
The drydown of the post-2021 Naxos is softer, "cleaner," and less dark than the older version. The emphasis has shifted from the dense honey and raw tobacco duo to the creaminess of lavender, vanilla and tonka.
Personally, I like the older versions better.

Mistiq fragrance
Oh my god, you either love this scent or you hate it... Let's see:
Unutamam is not intended for the masses and represents an unusual fragrance for many. It stands out from the contemporary perfumes and is compared to the bombastic, masculine, green scents of the 1980s.
Fragrance notes and fragrance profile:
The perfume is an aromatic, spicy and woody composition, the main notes of which are:
Head notes: Lavender, rosemary, mint, juniper. The opening is extremely powerful, herbal and spicy. Some compare it to black licorice or even naphthalene.
Heart notes: Jasmine, carnation, patchouli, ambergris, oregano. The heart notes show the dominant, greenish, spicy character of oregano, which is made fuller by ambergris and patchouli.
Base notes: Castor oil (castoreum), cistus, oakmoss, caramel. Castor oil gives the fragrance a strong animalic, leathery and sexy character, while caramel enriches it with an unexpected, sweet but not raunchy tone.
General characteristics:
Type: Extrait de Parfum, which means an extremely high concentration of fragrance and long lasting.
Longevity and range: The perfume is extremely long-lasting (up to 9+ hours) and has a strong range.
Character: Masculine, rough, raw, yet refined. Recommended for people who like unusual, earthy, animalic and herbal scents.
Nishane Unutamam is a work of art, not just a fragrance. A true "anti-gourmand" and "anti-mass" perfume, created for those who love challenges and unique, characterful scents. If you are looking for a perfume that people will definitely remember and that questions traditional fragrance concepts, then you should get to know Nishane Unutamam.

Rich scent
A classic oriental-woody fragrance.
The opening of the fragrance is quite fruity and floral, the freshness of jasmine and neroli mingles with notes of peach, which gives a surprisingly sweet but not intrusive start.
The heart notes are dominated by rose and cinnamon. The rose here is not a light, spring floral scent, but a rich, dark and velvety rose, which goes perfectly with the spiciness of cinnamon.
The focus in the base notes is on sandalwood, as the name of the perfume suggests. This creamy, warm woody note is made even more characteristic and deep by oud and leather. The oud note in this perfume is not too animalic or medicinal, but rather subtly smoky and elegant. The musk and amber provide a soft base, which further increases the longevity and silkiness of the fragrance.
This perfume is not for everyday use. It's an ideal choice for special events and evening occasions, but I think it's also perfect for colder autumn and winter days.
It smells a bit feminine to my nose, but it's a very nice scent.

The meeting of elegance and strength
The opening is fresh and vibrant with notes of bergamot, grapefruit and violet leaves. This freshness is complemented by the delicate spiciness of white thyme and cardamom, which gives a complex and exciting introduction.
The heart of the fragrance is the realm of depth and elegance. Here, lavender and ginger mix with soft but firm notes of rose. This heart note makes the fragrance both classic and modern.
The base ensures the durability and depth of the perfume. Vanilla provides a warm, creamy base, which is made truly characteristic by the earthy, animalic notes of patchouli and musk. The woody notes of vetiver and cypress give the fragrance its backbone and masculine line.
Masculine, barbershop, signature fragrance.
