Xerjoff Naxos Eau de Parfum

The Xerjoff Naxos Eau de Parfum channels the sun-drenched intensity of Sicily, blending citrus brightness with spicy warmth and a tobacco laced base. Part of the 1861 collection, it captures the island's ancient architecture, azure seas and cultural crossroads in a vibrant oriental fougère. Within a curated selection, it stands as a preserved artifact of Mediterranean opulence, balancing freshness with indulgent depth.

The opening fuses Sicilian lemon, bergamot and lavender with Omani incense, creating a sparkling citrus aromatic accord laced with smoky intrigue. This top note evokes sunlit stone, sea spray and distant spice markets, offering immediate lift while hinting at the richness to unfold. The structure feels alive and textured from the first moment.

In the heart, Sambac jasmine blooms alongside honey, cinnamon and cashmeran, introducing floral sweetness, spicy heat and a musky softness that ties the composition together. Honey adds gourmand allure, cinnamon brings fire, and jasmine provides elegant contrast, turning the fragrance into a sumptuous, evolving bouquet. This phase builds sensual momentum without losing clarity.

The base settles on tobacco leaf, tonka bean and vanilla, delivering a warm, resinous drydown with smoky, sweet undertones. Tobacco grounds the sweetness in earthiness, tonka adds hay-like nuance, and vanilla smooths into a velvety trail. Longevity is excellent with captivating sillage, ideal for evenings or transitional seasons where presence shines.
