Naxos is absolutely magnificent ❤
10/10 perfection, just so beautiful.
I will order my 3rd bottle soon.
Hands down the greatest scent I have ever smelled. I have smelled so many different products from a lot of different houses, but nothing speaks volumes to me like Naxos.
You really are a brilliant reviewer and I am in awe when you start telling the story. Obviously you are a knowledgeable guy. Keep the great work up it's a pleasure to listen to your words
Thank you for your very kind words and the encouragement that this provides for me....really, really grateful🙏🏼 Thank you again @Philip Winn I'm so happy that you're enjoying the style of these reviews
Like always, it is such a joy to watch your videos!
Thank you 🙏🏼 appreciate the kind words and support💫
This quickly became my no 1 fragrance in my collection, this thing is a masterpiece and a perfect example of the top of niche perfumery, it is masterfully blended, anything else I say is redundant and has been said before, but that said one of my close friend really hates it I don't know how can someone hate this masterpiece!
I got it yesterday and I’m currently wearing it today. This is the best fragrance that I have ever worn. I also bought 40knots too. Think this may be my favorite brand now.
Just today I ordered Zefiro since Naxos either was OOS everywhere I looked or if it was stocked, it was at a price that I couldn't stomach. Patience sure is a virtue nowadays. Already have Renaissance which was my first Xerjoff and it blew my mind as in "how is it possible to make a fragrance like this?!". Again, another quality video content fron you, sir. No unecessary filler. Just straight to the point. Keep it up! Your channel will blow in popularity.
You're very gracious in your comments @SteadyAimRay, greatly appreciate the feedback and more specifically the support 👊🏼
I'm so happy to hear that you own and LOVE Renaissance. For some reason it gets a bad rap, when in fact I completely agree with your comments "how is it possible??!!!" Next week I'm reviewing Renaissance and have done quite a bit of research on this one...can't wait to share.
Lastly, Zefiro is totally awesome. I can't wait to hear what your thoughts are on this one.
Thanks again for all your support, very much appreciated🙌🏽
Great video and review!!
Thanks Daniel! Appreciate your feedback and very much appreciate you reaching out👊🏽
Hi, this review was great ! I haven’t try Naxos yet but i love Renaissance so much !
Naxos is awesome but Renaissance is next level (a citrus explosion of happiness!).
I'm reviewing Renaissance next week and putting forward my theory on this fragrance 😂....I'd be curious to know your thoughts once this video drops.
Thanks for watching and for your feedback👊🏼
Renaissance beautiful and relaxing. Zefiro romantic and mystic. Soon we will see how Naxos expands this journey.
Boom Baby!! The trilogy will be completed🤩
Greetings Marcelo,
Got my Naxos few days back. I wore this to the new year’s dinner night, nobody openly complimented but I could sense the attention it was getting. A fragrance that gets that kind of attention at a ultra formal event,speaks for itself. This is a champion for me. Thanks for the great analysis.
Warm Regards
Ari
Happy New Year to you Ari! Congratulations on Naxos this one is a winner for life😎
Hoping you had an awesome start to the year my friend💫
Got mine today. xerjoff Naxus just beautiful.hugs from Portugal
Congratulations @Showtime!! So happy for you! What an awesome fragrance (happiness in a bottle❤️) big love from Australia👊🏽
Great Reviews just joined yr channel 2 days ago and got drawn into it very different to others . Very good story telling.
Welcome Porous!! Firstly, so happy that you've discovered my channel and a massive THANK YOU for subscribing🙏🏼 appreciate the support👊🏼
i just got a full bottle and from the sprayer it smells so good i was like wow!!!! this thing is beautiful
Congrats!! This is a fragrance for life in my opinion😎💫 awesome to hear from you @kinansteib483
This channel is elite 🔥🔥
Thank you Mohamed🙏🏽 really appreciate the support my friend👊🏽
Just subscribed to your channel. I find your storytelling and personal, visceral, experiences with the fragrances; as well as your articulate backstory to be astounding when reviewing! Keep up the great work! You've a new subscriber!!
Thank you Michael, that is an extremely generous comment and very appreciative of your support.
I’m really grateful that there seems to be an audience interested in this form of fragrance reviews.
Thank you for your support🙌🏼
@@TheNicheFragranceCollector Your format is impeccable
Thank you sir🙏🏽♥️ Appreciate the support!
Where to begin...I am not good at guessing smells and notes. I used to choose the perfumes I buy only on wether I like them or not. But this thing is an eye opener...The fragrance that opened the niche fragrance world to me! First time I went to a niche perfumery shop just out of curiosity. Sniffed quite a lot of fragrances, but nothing caught my attention until I smelled this one...tried it on my skin then went out just to come back an hour or two later and get the whole bottle. I was sniffing my hand like an addict :D
Its a compliment collector this fragrance, every time I wear it there is always at least one compliment. Some serious longevity and sillage, but not in an offensive way. Truly a masterpiece that works all year round: I live in a place where it is very cold in winter and very hot in summer this juice just works no matter the weather.
I also love your channel and the way you present the fragrances. it is not an overstatement that you are among the best there are. Keep up the good work
Wonderful to hear from you Ivan; I loved your break up on how Naxos captured your heart
I really loved your comment on how the 'notes' become irrelevant to the beauty of the overall construction of the fragrance....that's the magic that I'm sure the perfumer is looking to create.
I appreciate the kind words and very much appreciate your support, thank you🙏🏼
naxos / oud for greatness/ aventus creed my top 3 all time👌
Awesome line up @MuscleAKAOzzy...all three are totally amazing. Great to hear from you, thanks for sharing!
just discovered your channel today and i have to say its the best ive stumbled upon, great job!
Great to hear from you Eduardo👊🏼 Thank you for reaching out and really appreciative of your encouraging words, means a lot my friend🙏🏼
Naxos is a very good spray and go. I don't think I'll have to plan ahead to use it like I would Erba Pura. Naxos is such a lovely scent, and I can see how it has wide appeal. I feel like I'm in a comfortable bed with all my favorite scents around me. Torino23 completed my 'discovery' set which I love too.
I have Naxos its a masterpiece will own Zefiro next as its autumn in our part of the world and in Spring get Renaissance
Yep, totally agree. Zefiro is amazing over the cooler months; projects beautifully. And yes, Renaissance is THE classic summer fragrance. Great to hear from you @Porous Dumasia
Hello Marcello…
So, today my Naxos arrived. I previously agreed that Zefiro was a master piece…While I agree it is a fine work of art that takes a while to appreciate and it will most likely become a classic. Naxos is the master piece of this collection. It speaks volumes. It both warms and cools the nostrils at once. I had a full water this evening and yes I fell instantly in love. It is stunning, masculine. It is not afresh fragrance but it is refreshing. I believe I will be able to wear this all year round.
Congrats Joey! How exciting my friend and yes, it's instant love with Naxos....it doesn't take much to make this one a classic in your collection.
I agree that this is easily an all year round fragrance, but find that it plays really well during the cooler months (which is never in Perth😂)
Well done mate!
am i the only one that think the top notes of this fragrance is too feminine?
Hola Marcelo...Gracias por ésta reseña tan ACERTADA...Estoy seguro que va a ser mi PRÓXIMA CÓMPRA...NINGÚN RESEÑADOR MENCIONÓ ANTES...SU VERSATILIDAD... ACÁ EN COLOMBIA SE MANEJAN.. VERANO Y PRIMAVERA..LO CUAĹ RESULTA EXACTO PARA NAXOS..
GRACIAS Y UN GRAN ABRAZO..
Gracia Edgar🙏🏻 I’m going to respond in English😬 for me Naxos is a big winner, and wonderful for all weather. Thank you for your support Edgar…very much appreciated
New subscriber.
It’s a pleasure watching such insightful, intelligent reviews.
Keep it up, looking forward to more.
Greetings from Canada.
Hey Alan…greetings from Melbourne! Firstly thank you for subscribing, that’s very much appreciated and secondly greatly appreciate your encouragement and kind words🙌🏽….thank you my friend
Thank you sir!
Fall/Winter coming soon enough here in Toronto, looking forward to wearing some heavier fragrances after a very hot summer.
I really LOVE Naxos.
I just switched my Signature 'Base Note' scent from Aventus to Naxos
From one Heavy weight to the NEXT.
It's a BEAUTIFUL fragrance.
Ty for your videos, eh
Excellent choice @Rich Fleming😎 Naxos is definitely a heavy hitter and an incredibly beautiful fragrance… Great to hear from you💫
Rich, how many sprays of this do you normally go with?
Just started to follow I have this perfume, it's awesome! Thanks for your description. 👍 Looking forward for Penihaligons review..
Thank you @Patria o Muerte!!!⭐️, greatly appreciate your support and comments!
I’m a big fan of Penhaligon’s…check out some of the reviews I’ve done and let me know if there’s any others that you would like me to review 👊🏽
@@TheNicheFragranceCollector I will definitely watch it, many thanks for update, and wishing you best luck 👍
Ciao amico.. My mom is from Palermo. Yes, it is a beautiful Island. Love this video. ❤❤🇮🇹
Ciao Karlee, wonderful to hear from you. I can’t wait to return to Sicily… maybe next year🤔
Appreciate you reaching out, thank you for your support💫
@@TheNicheFragranceCollector Yes, it certainly has a timeless charm. Btw I loved your video and thinking about buying the fragrance for my dad. Thank you.
Ciao.. ❤️
I have a 30 plus fragrance collection an naxos is my favorite its expensive but its worth it
That sounds like an awesome collection! But yeah, I can understand why Naxos is your favourite. It has so many things going for it (projects well, heavenly scent, lasts well), makes sense
Great to hear from you @Christ Alone 89👊🏼
Hi Marcelo, I get the tabacco mostly in the dry down, and I love the tabacco note in any fragrance. Even though this is an awesome fragrance, I would prefer Coromandel by Chanel to this one. Nonetheless Great review as always my friend ! Cheers!!
Yes, Coromandel is amazing and I feel have more layers (tends to evolve a lot more)….out of interest Ali, are you connected to the instagram account scent.explorateur?
@@alinavid1581 Thanks Ali
I love Naxos.
I’m with you on that my friend👊🏽
@@TheNicheFragranceCollector I've been revisiting it lately. I forgot how amazing it is. You know it's pretty versatile too. It can be pretty much worn all year. Obviously the sprays have to be controlled in the summer. You were right to put it in your Xerjoff video as a great starting point for people discovering Xerjoff and niche fragrances in general. I love your style by the way. Keep up the good work.
Thank you Mark for the kind words. Totally appreciate the support my friend.
And your comments are 100% on point, absolutely agree with you.
Looks like that footage is from Tindari ,one of my favorite places in Sicily😍
I love Sicily; and the short answer is 'Yes' the long answer is; it's a collection of shots from all over the island🧡 Great to hear from you Gus
Ughhh I so hoped I would hate Naxos, coz I get the feeling it’s masculine. Naxos was my first Xerjoff purchase, and I fell in love with it. That was 2 yrs ago and I now own 18 bottles from Xerjoff and I’m still collecting . Quite a few of the bottles were about $600. I adore Naxos, my second love is Richwoood then Irisss, but I love all of my purchases. I need a backup of Erba Pura . I wear it a lot in Summer. I find that Naxos blooms with beauty in cold weather. In fact most of my fragrances perform much better in cooler or cold weather. Every time I buy a sample of a great Niche perfume and sample it and think it’s weak and doesn’t project, when I step outside(it’s Winter here) I see it come to life and wow is it strong . Not all but out of my over 500 bottles of Niche, I’d say 90% of them are cool weather frags. Maybe I’ll move to Alaska . It’s so beautiful there. I’ve always loved Alaska.
I don’t like hot weather, which is weird since hubby bought us a beautiful house by the beach….sigh
Wonderful to hear from you Elizabeth and so good to hear that Naxos is also a winner in your books.
I love your incredible collection of fragrances… 500 is quite a feat!💪🏽
And reading between the lines you have a very charmed life😎💫 my congratulations to you❤️
Thanks for reaching out, I appreciate your input and jumping into the conversation
I’m really wanting to blind buy this one for Fall! I love Nio for summer and is currently my only Xerjoff
Blind buying is such a scary enterprise for me… I shy away from this. But I highly recommend that you test this one out! Naxos is one of those fragrances that is pure magic for the wearer and also those who come in contact with you
Good luck Jaime, curious to know your thoughts once you’ve had a chance to test this one out👊🏽
@@TheNicheFragranceCollector for sure! I’ll definitely update with the results!!
@@TheNicheFragranceCollector this arrived today… and blind buy success! It’s everything I could’ve wanted and more! Not only do I love it, but it’s nothing like anything else in my collection.
As I mentioned I wanted this for Fall but it feels much more versatile than a single season.
Really looking forward to spending more time with this perfume.
To be honest, I was a little concerned about the honey note. I don’t hate honey, but I didn’t know what to expect and I didn’t want to smell like a jar of honey. But everything about this fragrance is smooth, you can smell the quality, and it truly matches the rave reviews.
Boom baby!! I’m so happy that Naxos is a Homerun for you 💫
This is one of my all-time favorites and I always love it when it resonates with others. I totally agree with you that this is an all year round perfume.
Congrats Jaime on your new fragrance💫😎
Marcelo....just came back from the mall after sampling a few high end stinkers. Tried out Naxos on skin and now about two hours later the fragrance is an olfactory confection. Will be picking up a bottle soon. The only reason I didn't grab one right away was a deep sale on a bottle of Greenley by Parfums de Marly. ;) Some may call me crazy, but I'm all about the art of a good deal! Naxos..I had my doubts. No more.
I always love when I come across a ‘good deal’….everything stops, just for this😎 So yes, I totally understand. Really happy that Naxos has proven to be a winner for you; could this be your first Xerjoff?🤔
I had no doubts either. It's not for me.
Interesting that this one doesn’t work for you Greg….is it too sweet?
@@TheNicheFragranceCollector Took me three months, but finally picked up a bottle of Naxos this afternoon. Thanks Marcelo!
Boom Baby!!💥💫 Congrats Fred, a totally awesome purchase my friend👊🏽
Out of curiosity, which of the 2 between Naxos and Alexandria II do you prefer and why? I would appreciate the advice of someone familiar with fragrances like yourself
Hi. You mentioned that you are a movie buff... Now I like you even more 😄May I ask what is your top 10 movies?
I got recently a sample of this fragrance and while I was talking to my brother-in-law I offered him a spray test and his first reaction was pretty negative. He doesn't appreciate the scent of vanilla and other gourmand notes and thus he did not have a positive reaction to the fragrance.
sounded very nice fair do's , love your channel, very good reviews,..... will you ever review the dessert gems collection by frederic malle? T(he Night/Promise/The Moon)
100% on the Dessert Gems (these are incredible)....so many perfumes, so little time😩. I'm treating this like a marathon, slow and steady wins the race😇
Thanks again @Adz Adzy for your support and feedback🙌🏽
I think I must try Naxos out. I was born in a major Sicilian city not far from Giardini-Naxos.😅
I think it is your duty😉 Being that you are in the very place that the fragrance is in tribute to, it makes total sense🧡
Plus it's a beautiful perfume; so it's an easy one to fall in love with (just like Sicily!)
Great to hear from you @r4u....thanks for your comments
@@TheNicheFragranceCollector Just watched your video a second time, because yesterday I wore Naxos for the first time … Now I can understand what you’re talking about.😅 I know it’s been hyped, but for many good reasons. Love it. I will also be wearing it on a wedding party this weekend. Cheers, the Sicilian born German😉
Are those have the same smell
I've got all 3 and I would rate Zefiro and Naxos tied at the top followed by Renaissance.
Brilliant line up! I'm impressed that you rate Zefiro so high...most people really talk down this fragrance. Also congrats on owing all three, most people stop at Naxos and they're missing out on an awesome collection.
Thanks for your comments and support @Aditya shah
Yes, Naxos is mass appealing..almost everyone will like it. Zefiro is probably the least popular of the trilogy but somehow I feel it is a great creation - doesn't get the love it deserves.
Great videos!
I'll be dropping by Oligarch once the lockdown is over to check out their collection. I live in Melbourne but haven't been there yet but your videos are going to make me visit the store.
@@adityashah171 Thank you again for your feedback and completely agreed with Naxos mass appeal but Zefiro's absolute awesomeness....I love wearing Zefiro, it's such a triumph fragrance.
Wait till you walk into Oligarch😍 Allow an easy 45 mins to experience the store and allow Kevin to walk you through. You're going to love it! Thanks again for your support🙌🏽
Hi i love watching your videos and I always watch it wherever I am. About Xerjoff Naxos, would you say it’s a blind buy worthy?
Thanks for your feedback and support @Bright Ofori 🙌🏽 Blind buying in my opinion is ‘risky business’. Perfume is such a personal and interpretative product. Two people can easily disagree on the same perfume. My recommendation is that you aim to try it on you first, see how it makes you feel. I would hate for you to blind buy, only to realize that there are some notes in the fragrance that doesn’t resonate with you. Out of interest are you in Australia?
Yes
Ordered a sample of this - looking for a date night/special occasion fragrance. Slightly worried about the beastly performance, not sure I like the idea of smelling out a bar or restaurant!
I'll be interested to hear what you think of this fragrance once you get the chance to test...it's perfect as a 'going out/date night' fragrance. It has awesome projection but not in the way that you described it (well at least not to me). It's not that type of fragrance...unless you over spray😬
But as mentioned, I'll be curious to know your thoughts once you get the chance to test out...good luck with this Sam, great to hear from you👊🏽
@@TheNicheFragranceCollector I'll be sure to update you! It's tricky going on descriptions alone as honey makes it sound as though it could be sticky or sickly somehow - but with all the positive reviews I'm optimistic it will be love at first sniff
Do nishane next!!
100% Nishane is on the list of MUST DO!
Thank you @Srdan for the recommendation. Any particular fragrance in the range that you love most?
@@TheNicheFragranceCollector i Love and own Hacivat but im vert intriged in the house and want to buy and smell ani, karagoz, sultan vetiver, wulong cha and fan your flames as well as nefs!
So all of them😂 Sounds good….on my Todo List💪🏼
Thanks for watching and your support🙌🏼
Would you be kind to help, as the market is full of Naxos bottles in two colors. One white and one slightly darker...as the one you are representing. Which one is original?
Hey @Amos Noel, I haven’t come across the white version? The one’s I’ve seen in the retailer outlets I go to are all the darker color one. So not sure about the lighter coloured version. Could it be a legit product or a copy? Have you had the chance to test the 2 against each other?
Sorry Amos that I wasn’t a lot of help on this.
Thank you for reply, my concern was regarding the white color bottle case. As, the market is full of counterfeit. I prefer to order directly from Xerjoff. Furthermore, highly appreciate your channel.
You know it could be that Xerjoff have changed their bottle?? I agree with you to buy from a trusted retailer. Peace of mind, as you would hate to spend all that money for a bogus product. Good luck with this Amos👊🏽
Hello professor ! There's a new one in the XJ 1861 serie, called Decas....did you already smell it ?
Yes, hello my good sir🧐 Yes, have heard of Decas, but haven't fortunate enough to come across this one just yet. Not in Australia (that I know of)...have you had a chance? I'm really curious to know what this one is like
@@TheNicheFragranceCollector unfortunately no...i'm going to sample it soon....i read that some people consider it as a fresher Naxos. " Wait and smell".
Looking forward to watching your Zefiro review. I never tried this one either.
@@yoranysl6140 Yes, really looking forward to testing Decas....once you get the chance I'd be interested in your thoughts.
Next week I'm reviewing Renaissance (this one I absolutely love) and then Zefiro as the closer to the series....have you subscribed🤔 Love you to do so 😇
Thanks for your comments and support👊🏼
Can I ask you which batch code did you reviwe?
Naxos is the best scent I have ever smelled. There are rumors about new productions weakended performance and I think it is true. Naxos suffers from weak performance.
Longevity and projection are not good enough. I Hope to find old version of this masterpiece.
Great to hear from you Pourya. Not sure which batch I have.
I bought mine in 2018 but recently my nephew also bought Naxos and to my nose they both smell the same. He was wearing it the other day and the projection on it was amazing.
Good luck with this
@@TheNicheFragranceCollector in conjunction to what pourya said, I noticed your liquid is more honey coloured and the liquid in the newer bottles have a more lighter lemony colour. I read up it's coz of a removal of note from the previous batch. Just wondering if you've compared them both recently.
Great review. I love Naxos. Are you in Melb Australia??
Thank you @shizza82🙏🏼 greatly appreciate the feedback and support! Yes, Melbourne Aussie boy (just have an unusual accent which throws people😂)....and YES! Naxos is totally amazing; absolutely winning fragrance
@@TheNicheFragranceCollector Nice, I am also in Melb. I'll definitely be checking out more of your content mate. Good stuff.
@@shizza82 Represent! Not sure if you've had the chance to check out Oligarch in Caulfield? This place is 'niche heaven'...Kevin is your guy there, he's totally awesome and super knowledgable. Awesome to connect @shizza82👊🏼
@@TheNicheFragranceCollector I've never been there but I will definitely check it out now! I've been looking for some good niche places but a bit hard to find. Thanks for the info!
@@shizza82 I'm excited for you @shizza82🤩 Not sure if you're familiar with the Zaharoff range of fragrance's? George Zaharoff is coming to Melbourne (he's from Chicago) and we're doing a virtual "An Evening with George Zaharoff" in the Oligarch store next Friday. Check out my instagram (@nfc.perfumes) for more info.....I think this is something that you might be interested in
Marcelo or anyone reading this ( Naxos ) know where to buy the OG original version of this or has it been totally wiped from the face of the planet?
Hey Marcel, they might be some people selling their OG bottle, but I dare say that from a retail point of view, These are all gone now.
I'd like to know about the new one Decas
Yep, 100%....I promised that in the near future I will be creating a follow up to this trilogy to include Deccas....have you had a chance to test this as yet?
@@TheNicheFragranceCollector Not yet. I ordered 4 samples from Xerjoff and Decas was one of them! The bottle looks pretty cool too!
@@TheNicheFragranceCollector Sadly I have read Decas has a synthetic vibe to it, (Frgrantica) but I my self don’t believe It. I think the best way is to find it, smell it, wear and see how It settles.
naxos is gkeek island
100%....plus it's also a city in Sicily♥️ Great to hear from you Vangelis
sorry i didnt know!
@@TheNicheFragranceCollector
Clearly, it’s a popular name😎⭐️
Naxos is a Greek island......
Absolutely right Peter. It’s also an area in Sicily, beautiful seaside town☀️
Clearly it’s all in the name for both the Greeks and the Italians
what is he talking about?? 😂🤦🏻♂️
