1861 Naxos

Xerjoff Naxos dupe, inspired by the original

Naxos is one of the best loved fragrances in Xerjoff’s Casamorati collection, released in 2015 and named after the Greek island. It earned its following on a warm, honeyed tobacco that feels gourmand and refined at once. Our interpretation carries that character in a long lasting Eau de Parfum, made in the EU.

The Story Behind the Scent

Xerjoff is an Italian house known for rich materials and high concentrations, and Naxos shows that style well. The idea is a Mediterranean warmth, sunlit and sweet without turning heavy. Lavender and citrus open it clean and aromatic, honey and cinnamon bring a golden sweetness through the heart, and tobacco, vanilla and tonka settle into the cosy, slightly boozy depth people remember.

How Our Version Compares

We do not claim this is identical, because no interpretation is. What we have built follows the same honeyed tobacco signature, from the aromatic lavender opening to the warm vanilla and tonka base. Ours is blended at up to 40% perfume oil, higher than most sprays, so it projects well early and stays close to the skin for hours. A little goes a long way, and it wears best in cooler weather.

Who It’s For

Naxos suits anyone who likes a warm, sweet, grown up scent. It is at its best in autumn and winter, in the evening or any time you want something cosy and a little indulgent. Unisex by nature, and a favourite with people who enjoy tobacco and vanilla without a heavy smoky edge.

Notes

Top: Lavender, Lemon, Bergamot

Heart: Honey, Cinnamon, Jasmine

Base: Tobacco, Vanilla, Tonka Bean

How it Smells

It opens aromatic and bright, with lavender and citrus giving a clean lift before the sweetness arrives. Within minutes, honey and cinnamon warm it up and turn it golden and gently spicy.

The base is the heart of it. Tobacco, vanilla and tonka build a soft, sweet, faintly boozy warmth that lingers for hours. It is rich without being cloying, the kind of scent that smells like a warm room on a cold day.

Common Questions

Is this the original Xerjoff fragrance?

No. It is our own interpretation of the Naxos accord, rebuilt at up to 40% perfume oil. It is not the branded fragrance and does not use the same formula.

Is Naxos a sweet scent?

Yes, honey and vanilla make it sweet, but lavender and tobacco keep it balanced and grown up rather than sugary.

When should I wear it?

It is at its best in autumn and winter and in the evening, when its warmth and sweetness come through.

Is it unisex?

Yes. The honeyed tobacco character wears easily on anyone.

How long does it last?

Built at a high oil concentration, most wearers get a full day on skin and longer on clothing.
