      I've had my bottle of Naxos for months and the smell is the same every time to my nose. Not bad, not unpleasant... not my signature scent though, and tbh I have a hard time figuring out when I'd want to smell like it.

Chad’s assessment was very close to my assessment. It smells like a clone or a version of baccarat rouge. What’s funny is I had heard Montal had its own instant crush/baccarat rouge and it was SENSUAL INSTINCT

    Was looking for a review on Arabians Tonka on the newer batches(performance and scent wise) . Would your bottle happen to be that of a newer batch?(2022 onwards I think).
    And after testing, would you recommend instant crush over it?
    Also, I think Montale bottles are made of aluminum, so dw if you accidentally drop them👍.

    The only niche brand I blind buy is Mancera. They tend to be very affordable at discounters (I bought Black Line for around 40$. That's practicaly clone fragrance money). And with most of them you either know what you are getting into (Red Tobacco) or they have some designer sensibilities but with better quality or unique twist (Cedrat Boise, Aoud Lemon Mint). I also had some great surprise successes. Black Gold I picked just for an ongoing sale and the bottle design, but it totaly blew me away and it's currently a favourite of my collection.

    Yup i sampled all Parfums De Marly and i only was blown away by Carslisle and Pegasus Exclusif. The price tag though not justifiable lol. Greenley and Sedley are great but for the price there’s better ones in that field. And my fav is Althair just pure gourmet vanilla. I actually enjoy Naxos. The opening can be harsh but the honey/tobacco dry down is lovely! It’s done right. I had le male elixir but it was too much and too cloying that it made me nauseous!
    I also recently purchased my 3rd niche. Roja Parfums Elysium Cologe and man o man, probably the best blue fragrance i have ever smelled. It beats Bleu De Chanel EDP/parfum in everywa

    Naxos - Boring honey tobacco scent, nothing special. Insanely basic, normal, but it's nice. Don't get too excited when trying this stuff out, you won't be amazed in any way. People who say they're amazed by this stuff, have always just used the same nasty creed aventus knock off freshie bullshit & never went into the gourmand niche.
    Ani - Repulsive cheap turkish women perfume smell. If you grew up in a turkish family, this stuff will throw you back instantly into the moment where your weird aunt hugged you, with that repulsive smell lingering for hours on your clothes afterwards.

Like you I find to many of these style fragrances lean too feminine for my tastes. Interesting to see although they are good they don’t always blow quality designers away. What’s the point in buying a fragrance that is too situational. I’ve learned my lesson the expensive way. If something blows you away moving forward I will be keen to sample. Good work my man.
