NAXOS

Our Naxos Fragrance Oil is 98% close to the original Naxos perfume launched by the Xerjoff brand in 2015. It has the same notes as are present in the original scent profile. Top notes are Lavender, Bergamot, and Lemon; middle notes are Honey, Jasmine Sambac, and Iris; base notes are Tobacco Leaf, Tonka Bean, and Vanilla.

Fragrance Notes

• Top Notes: A vibrant opening is established with the sharp, zesty effervescence of bergamot and lemon, providing an immediate, bright lift. This is masterfully intertwined with the clean, herbaceous aroma of lavender, which offers a calming yet sophisticated introduction.
• Heart Notes: The core of the fragrance reveals its opulent character. A rich, viscous honey accord forms the central theme, lending a luscious sweetness and depth. This is enhanced by the delicate, indolic floralcy of jasmine sambac and the powdery, slightly earthy elegance of iris, creating a complex and alluring heart.
• Base Notes: The dry down is where the true richness resides. A prominent tobacco leaf note introduces a leathery, slightly smoky warmth. This is seamlessly blended with the sweet, creamy facets of tonka bean and the comforting, gourmand depth of vanilla, anchoring the composition with enduring warmth and sensuality.

How It Performs

This fragrance oil achieves exceptional longevity, consistently performing for 10-12 hours on skin and often exceeding 24 hours on fabric. Its diffusion is moderate to heavy, creating a noticeable but not overwhelming scent bubble that extends approximately 3-5 feet. The absence of an alcohol spike allows for a smoother, more integrated evaporation curve, ensuring the fragrance unfolds gradually and maintains its integrity throughout its wear cycle. Maceration of the raw materials within the oil base further enhances the complexity and richness of the scent profile.

Best Times to Wear

Naxos Fragrance Oil is a versatile scent, excelling in cooler climates. It is particularly suited for autumn and winter months, with optimal performance in temperatures ranging from 40°F to 65°F (4°C to 18°C). Its rich and enveloping character makes it ideal for evening wear, date nights, and formal occasions. It also performs admirably in professional settings where its sophisticated aroma can add a touch of distinction. For outdoor winter activities, its warmth provides a comforting presence.

Pros & Cons

How It Compares

Our Naxos Fragrance Oil is engineered to be a 98% olfactory match to the original Naxos by Xerjoff. The primary difference lies in the delivery mechanism. While the original utilizes alcohol as a carrier, allowing for a rapid initial burst and quicker evaporation, this oil formulation offers a more sustained and nuanced scent journey. The absence of alcohol eliminates any harsh top notes, presenting a smoother transition through the fragrance pyramid. This oil-based approach leverages advanced fixatives to ensure prolonged skin adhesion and a consistent scent profile over many hours, replicating the complex interplay of honey, tobacco, and aromatic lavender with exceptional fidelity.
