Naxos

  • 2015

A jewel of Xerjoff, Naxos is a honeyed, gourmand fougère-tobacco: lavender and bergamot on a heart of honey, cinnamon and tonka bean, with a tobacco and sandalwood base. Opulent and sunny, in the spirit of a great Italian classic.

What its composition says

  • 2 materials on top, 3 in the heart, 3 in the base: the three stages are of comparable size.
  • Honey: barely 3.5% of the catalogue contains it, which makes it the rarest material in its palette.
  • Bergamot: conversely, one of the most widely used materials in the catalogue — 43% of the analysed perfumes contain it.
  • Gourmand, woody, citrus, aromatic and spicy: 5 registers of raw materials share its palette, with gourmand supplying 3 of 8.
