Naxos 3,4edp by Xerjoff

Part of the 1861 collection celebrating the unification of Italy, Naxos is an indulgent olfactory tribute to the island of Sicily. An island home to immeasurable natural beauty, immense cultural significance and its own unique form of chaos. A place enriched by the influence of the numerous civilisations who passed through it over the centuries.

Xerjoff Naxos is an opulent, unisex fragrance that weaves a romantic tapestry of sweet and spicy accords. Its heart blends creamy vanilla, amber, and sensual woods with luminous citrus and spicy pepper top notes, while the base lingers on warm benzoin, tonka bean, and resinous labdanum, creating an intimate, lingering aura suitable for both men and women who love a luxurious, seductive scent.

The perfume shines at night or on special, romantic occasions, when its velvety depth can be fully appreciated. It layers beautifully with lighter citrus or floral scents to personalize the composition, but use sparingly to let Naxos remain the dominant voice. To extend its longevity, apply to pulse points after moisturizing skin, and consider spritzing on clothing or hair for lingering notes; avoid rubbing the skin, which can break down the fragrance molecules.

For style‑specific pairings, consider:

- Classic elegance: layer with Xerjoff Accademia for refined woody refinement.
- Modern sensuality: blend with Tom Ford Noir Extreme for amplified amber richness.
- Fresh twist: mix with a light citrus Eau de Toilette for daytime versatility.

The bottle is a sculptural masterpiece: a frosted, teardrop‑shaped vessel with a polished gold cap shaped like an arrowhead and the embossed “X” emblem on a gold plaque. The design conveys luxury and timelessness, echoing the perfume’s long‑lasting, lingering notes that evolve gracefully from luminous opening to deep, enduring base accords.
