Naxos is a masterpiece. One of my all time favorites.
Awesome that you love Naxos! Enjoy 🤗🌹Xo Sam
That little background/history lesson is what makes this video a perfect score! Really love how you present it, overall love your approach!
Oh thank you, I appreciate that! 🌹Xo Sam
Well I have 10 fragrances from Xerjoff and I think this brand is one of the very best niche perfumes on the market. I do not have currently Naxos but I think it smells very good. I have, bouquet ideal, Gran Ballo, Lira, Golden Dallha, Commandante, Ivory route, Amber star, Star Musk, ouverture, Synghonium. Love, love love Xerjoff perfums
Interesting. I tried both and couldn’t stand the Mugler one. Fell in love with Naxos. Can’t wait to buy a bottle. Found it to be the smoothest, creamiest, most heavenly creation. Extremely well blended. For me it’s is soft and feminine.
agreed. Naxos is many levels above Pure Havane. the honey note is the best I’ve ever experienced. it’s so creamy & smooth & well-blended
.. oh I thank you for your comment. I too can't stand the T. Mugler one; on one side it smells good but there is something else in it which I don't like and it is really strong and stays on skin very long.
.. I wanted to try Naxos but people's comments on it's similarities to the Pure Havana made me think again.
I am getting a sample of Naxos .. I hope that you are right.
@@fondoman3884 Did you get the sample? If so, what did you think?
You look someone like from royal egyptian family❤✅😂❤❤
😂 I'll take that. 🌹Xo Sam
Yes she dose
Yes Nefertiti
I love love love everything about your channel. Love your taste in frags, your 2 cents on everything, the tongue-in-cheek humor and yes how you pronounce the fragrances so well is VERY much appreciated. I can tell you have a gift for linquistics. Pls continue doing what you do. You've broadened my horizon in exploring more daring scents for a woman. Don't ever apologize for anything....saw that "panty dropper mockery" vid. That's right up my humor alley!
You are gorgeous always in all your vids. Love you all the pounds!
Thank you so much - you made my day/night/week. I will keep on putting these out there 🙂. 🌹Xo Sam
Naxos is my favorite fragrance of all time and it blows Pure Havane out of the water.
Naxos and Alexandria II are my favorites!
I loved this full review. Excellent!
First of all, love your channel and the amount of research you do prior to video...really impressive! Your review is on point and I agree with all the points you covered. I think there are more interesting fragrances from Xerjoff in my own opinion and my personal favourite is Alexandra II ( I have seen your video on this in which you absolutely smashed it 🤜🏻). Thanks for lovely review as always. On a final note, love the coordinated outfit with the Xerjoff Bottle..brilliant!! Looking forward to your next video. 😘
Thank you so much 🙏🏽 Yes, definitely... Xerjoff is a house of opulence, why settle for mediocre? I will see you in my next review, my friend. Thanks for the support. 🌹Xo Sam
Right? I love when research is done on product reviews. I love this channel. I also love seeing successful fellow black women on the tube. I just love when we reject the stereotype. I didn't know if it was appropriate to comment on race but I know you'd appreciate my sentiments! I'm also hiding in the replies section lol. I expressed this to Eva Monroe as well.
You are totally right about this one. I even sold half of my sample, because I prefer Mancera Red Tobacco, Phaedon Tabac Rouge, Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille, Initio Side Effect and even Dolce & Gabbana The One For Men EDP. Yes it has great quality, but just like Pure Havane, it doesn’t captivate me emotionally. I do love many Xerjoffs: Casamorati 1888, 40 Knots, Nio, Kind Of Blue and XJ 1861 Renaissance.
Thank you - yes, those are all much better options to be honest. There was no moment of spectacular feelings for me either. 🌹Xo Sam
I will let you know just purchased my first from the house (Naxos). Great review glad I came across your channel.
Thank you! How did it go with Naxos? Hope you're loving your new frag. 🌹Xo Sam
Totally disagree with your review of Naxos. I’ve had both fragrances and the quality of Naxos towers over Pure Havane. Naxos is not complex? Totally disagree there. Naxos is much smoother as well. To steer someone away from Naxos towards Pure Havane is one of the craziest things I’ve heard in a while.
Hello Robert, thank you very much for commenting. A lot of reviewers are afraid to be critical of popular fragrances due to clashes of opinion, but this is my honest take. As I phrased it, if I had money to spend on a Xerjoff, this would not be my first choice. Naxos is *nice*, but nothing new - there are Xerjoff frazzles added to the Pure Havane DNA, which to me does not justify the price markup. And that's the beauty of us experiencing things differently. Thanks for watching.🌹Xo Sam
I concur with you, Robert. Naxos is my favorite fragrance ever.
Uhh someone is upset with spending 250 in a 'smoother' clone
Thank you for your honest review .
Hi Queen. If you are to recommend 3/4 Xerjoff fragrances, which would you? I love rich opulent and somewhat smooth unisex scents.
I've become a big fan of Xerjoff generally, and Naxos specifically.. It's intoxicating, as are a number of Xerjoff fragrances. I'm also a big fan of Mamluk, and Ivory Route, but I wouldn't blind-buy either one. If you're interested in sampling this masterful House, order a sample set. For 25 Euros you can select any 4 Xerjoff fragrances. I'd include Naxos, Mamluk, Alexandria II and Erba Pura. Discover four great scents for peanuts.
Great review. I am relatively new to the Xerjoff fan club BUT I fell hard and fast! I have Nio, Renaissance, 40 Knots, 1888, Alexandria II AND Naxos. I love them all BUT I could wear Naxos EVERYDAY if I allowed myself to do so. I haven’t smelled the Mugler twin (pure Havan) and don’t much care to do so. The quality of Naxos is just so good...regardless of price... signature Xerjoff. 😊 Funny thing though, I don’t consider Naxos a tobacco forward scent. I get more of the honey and florals on my skin.
Those are great choices and yes, Naxos is definitely one of the more versatile Xerjoffs. I agree - not a full-on tobacco scent. I bet it smells elegant on you! Not so much on me unfortunately.🌹Xo Sam
@@MyWorldofFragrance Do you think that Naxos would be a great replacement for Parfums de Marly Layton/is it just as versatile as Layton to where you could wear it in the summer? What other versatile niche Signature scents would you recommend besides Layton/Aventus?
Do you think someone who enjoys Naxos, Pirtrait of a Lady, Oud for greatness, Layton Exclusif, black Afgano and other superstars would enjoy Alexandria ll? I’m considering to buy Alexandria ll but am worried that it is too challenging..?
Great Video as always, I've got Pure Havane & your review just makes me wana stick to just that... I'll go for Nio or Richwood instead from the Xerjoff house.
Thanks for the helpful review,as I have not tried this one yet. I usually like tobacco fragrances, but for some reason i havent really been convinced to try this one out.
Thank you! Hm well if you're anything like me, then too much hype pushes you away. I would have a sniff if you have access to Xerjoff, but personally wouldn't spend sample money on this. 🌹Xo Sam
Makeup and accesories so 20' decade. I love her taste in everything ¡maravillosa!
I agree with you but I haven’t smelled any Xerjoff yet. Which ones do you recommend?
Naxos is a must have!! 1 of the best dry down colognes out there. I gambled & blind bought Naxos, & I feel like I won!!
Wow very interesting and honest take!
Beautiful Samira. Nice review!😊🌹
Thank you so much, my friend.🌹Xo
Rockin that Nefertiti vibe! Nice!
I’ve been wanting to check out Naxos! Good insight 😁
Haha, thanks. Sure, why not give it a try. 🌹Xo Sam
Just started watching your channel and I've enjoyed your videos. I respect your opinion, but when I smell Mugler I get cheap synthetic vibes that pierce the nose. I'm used to very high quality all natural attars so when I smell something cheap it gives me a headache and hurts my nose lol. Naxos to me smells totally different throughout, one of the reasons being due to the overall quality. I would even go as far to say that Alexandria 2 gives off more of a designer homme type feel than naxos. Not to say that I don't love Alexandria 2 but it's one of those very likeable type scents as well for new to niche individuals.
Thanks so much for sharing, Adrian! Definitely better quality in Naxos, but I wish I smelled the originality that you do 🌹 Xo Sam
I’ve also made the mistake of following the hype by experiencing and purchasing Naxos before discovering Pure Havane. I agree, the quality difference ain’t worth it. When I’m paying niche prices, creativity and originality are very important too.
Love naxos but 40 knots im obsessed with
I do not own Naxos, but I have been curious to sample it. I do see that it’s often compared to Pure Havane, which I also do not own. Thank you for another great review and I look forward to trying both of these, and comparing them. I really enjoy your channel. I appreciate the time you put into making your videos. Especially since you work outside the home and you have a toddler running around! 🤣
Thank you so much 🙏🏽 They are worth trying, although I personally prefer Pure Havane.🌹Xo Sam
Firstly you are SO breathtaking. Oh my word. I got a sample of axis and I swear it smells identical to mugler angel on me. I can’t wait to shower it off 😂. It makes sense, I’m a Lira / Italica girl! I feel like people who like scents like this though would love it because it’s definitely a more well constructed version of angel!
Hi Sam, I'm so glad I found your channel. You strike such elegance and depth, and you remind me of blushingpixie from long time ago. would you consider making a video about perfumes that give off feminine and sensual scent?
Aw thank you so much for this lovely comment. Yes, definitely! That's coming up. 🌹Xo Sam
I was thinking Naxos was the geek isle but I learned something new today :)
Thank you! 🌹Xo Sam
I think Naxos is one of the best perfumes I've ever smelled. On me it smells divine....
I don't think that Mugler can beat this finesse of Naxos! This Levander note with the honey almost mint honey and the character oh my god. Can't help this...sorry.
How about on a guy?
Finally got this in today, love the scent actually, super smooth blend with good sillage. Smells masculine to me, I do not think I would want to smell this on a woman. I can see how this is a safe bet, interested now in more of their line. Which is your favorite Xerjoff fragrance for men??
Thank you for sharing! Alexandria II wins for me. 🌹Xo Sam
If I smelled this on a woman, I'd throw her back.
I call it "Noxious"...for some reason i don't like the mix of tobacco and lavendar/fougere. My two cents :-) It's not that it's a bad fragrance per se, but i guess i like my tobacco fragrances on the cozier, less aromatic side. I haven't tried a lot of Xerjoff, but I have Lira, and really love More Than Words, Cruz del Sur II and Richwood.
I think the closest 'inspiration' Naxos got from is Lanvin Avant Garde, but I'd have to try them side by side, great review btw Sam!
You look amazing! The necklace must be from an Arabic country? You make it look super modern!!! Love the style😍😍😍😍😍❤️
No I do not agree with you. Naxos is a beautiful scent and classy scent that a powerful woman can pull off.
Amongst the 1861 fragrances my personal favourite is Zefiro.
I find the mint in Renaissance to be gooey and too syrupy. Not fresh at all. It's almost nauseating after a while.
I liked Naxos but it was too cloying. Some fragrances make me sweat. It should always be ten below zero outside to actually pull them off.
Zefiro is definitely wintery but I like it too much to care. White wine, woods, incense. Sounds like an Iggy Pop song in an empty church...
Great video! And take care!
I love Zefiro, too, that's a great fragrance. I was thinking about getting it now and wear it... forget seasons! I think Naxos becomes cloying on me too for whatever reason, but I definitely love Renaissance 🌹Xo Sam
I really like this one. Have a decant. Alexandria fragrances has a similar one but toned down a bit. Its actually beautiful as well. Same staying power.
Update: I bought full bottle. Pure Havane is def not on same page. I could not pull off. Too masculine on me. Love Naxos
That's great - I know lots of people love this one. I will have to look into Alexandria fragrances. 🌹Xo Sam
Very elegant and classy the parfume too
You have a great look. On that note I just ordered Naxos off a frag facebook group for $169, hopefully I like it, your video made me a little nervous now lol.
Thank you! Chances are you will like it if you've done your research prior to purchasing. Lots of people enjoy this one.🌹Xo Sam
At least you got a decent price!
I don't know about Nexos BUT I've had and tried a few of the A*Men pluseven a A*lien and find that they all have the same dry down DNA which I didn't like at all. I would guess Naxos has a dry down I would like much better and would be willing to pay more for.
If you don't like Pure Havane, chances are you won't like Naxos... but your nose knows best. 🌹Xo Sam
It's intriguing how you smell naxos coz it's totally different on my nose.
Naxos to me is honey based heavy with a touch of tobacco and those citruses and pure havanne is tobacco heavy with a touch of honey. Naxos is more elegant and very refined and elegant in my opinion. Pure havanne is nice but very sweet and more juvenile or for younger crowd. Naxos to me is unisex and can be worn year round even in the Summer due to that beautiful opening cutruses as long as it's 2 max sprays coz it is very long lasting and projects quite well on my skin with 2 sprays. I loooove naxos, just a masterpiece and very sexy scent.
I don't find them to be similar at all. Naxos is more sharp, lavander is really strong on my skin, it has really sharp and zesty lime or citruses in there so it is just more fresh all the time. Would never buy Havane, but I have Naxos and we both enjoy it very much. It is worth the hype, yes.
Awesome that you're enjoying it! Also down to skin chemistry, so great that it works for you. 🌹Xo Sam
This is exactly the kind of information I wanted when I started looking at Naxos. Because of COVID, I can't go to the shops to sample perfumes, but I also can't rely on reviews on websites because those people likely sought out the perfume because they like it. I just want an intelligent, sophisticated, knowledgeable lady to tell me what's going on in that scent.
I should have listened to you and skipped Naxos! I was sure the lavender and honey would appeal to me, but I'm not loving the powderiness.
The flu hype did ruin a lot of things with people complying. Now it’s all swept under the rug and I’m debating about Naxos
How many sprays do u recommend to go for??
Performance on naxos?+ whats ur batch number
😯 this didn't show up until now.
Personally I really like this one , it's surprisingly easy to wear yet have enough complexity to keep you interested.
Hope all is well with you and yours 🙏
That's wonderful that you enjoy Naxos! And still watch my video to hear my take on it 🤗. Thank for the support, Robert.🌹Xo Sam
I love Naxos sorry but of course Xerjoff More than words is just fantastic/ masterpiece , you are right there is more jaw dropping Xerjoff scents out there more pricier Fars which you have . The KEMI line i feel people lean more towards Pure Havane because its been out more than Naxos in years i mean . Of course a bump up from Xerjoff is Bornikoff if you are looking for the finest / rarity obscure oud and money is no object im not quite there yet but i did get a decant of Oud monarch . Curious other offerings from this line its getting a lot of buzz and im in a phase where i want to explore maybe challenging scents( Initio )pushing my nose and im on a refined citrus kick but no Clinique Happy lol furthermore loved your make up look and video
Naxos & PH are night & day... Naxos is luxury in a bottle whereas PH is like soaking yourself in wet food stamps...
Haha, I can agree to an extent.🌹Xo Sam
agreed
Not the wet food stamps 😅😅
I've sampled some of the Mugler line, including this one and I'm baffled as to their popularity, and as a grown man, I try to imagine which demographic those ridiculous plastic bottles are destined for.
Also very curious as to why PH is compared to Naxos by so many other CZcams reviewers- Mugler surely can't have that much influence.
They share a few notes and there is the scent of tobacco with varying degrees of quality, but anyone who appreciates the subtleties, artistry and quality of perfume, there are key differences, otherwise why not lump all tobacco scents or all perfumes together and call it a day?
Thanks for weighing in here, Reinhold. Oh yes, I agree with your point of view, except the similarities went far beyond the notes for me with these two. It really was undeniable.🌹Xo Sam
I can not wear pure havane. Its too much patchouli for me. But naxos its just wow. I love naxos. I got few compliments, where usually people do not tend to do so. Everybody is different.
Awesome! Glad you're enjoying Naxos. Thanks for sharing🌹Xo Sam
Great Video!
would u mind to make a review on 40 knots by xerjoff? what r ur thoughts?
thanks!
Sure! Thanks for the suggestion. 🌹Xo Sam
What other Xerjoff would you recommend?
Alexandria III, Pikovaya Dama, Zefiro, Golden Dallah, Mamluk, Renaissance, Richwood... so many others that are more original. 🌹Xo Sam
I think that fragrances are subjective and I like to think of myself as a fragrance enthusiast but I tend to disagree with you. Niche fragrances with designer dna is best of both worlds: high quality ingredients from niche and the not so challenging dna from designer
I agree. It's too similar to Pure Havane.
Maybe it's a bit better, smoother than Pure Havane, but $100-$150 better? No.
I'm not a big fan of either. They smell like cherry cough syrup.
Neither are in any way outstanding to me either. Live and let live to those who love them I guess.🌹Xo Sam
Great video! Even though I love Naxos....I do think it’s overpriced and found Alexandria Fragrances 1981 X just as good, for 1/4 of the price! 😬
Never smelled Naxos or Havane, but 1981x is a favorite.
1/2 the price
BRO MUNN Very impressed With them!
kool`stuff Oops Yes I meant 1/2! 😅
Your greet is like Joy's and it's a very nice way to greet your viewers
I like Naxos very much!
Awesome 😊 Glad it works for you. 🌹Xo Sam
Would love for you to review TF Tobacco Vanille 😃
I love Naxos, my next Xerjoff will be Alexandriaii
Thank You!!!
Can you do a review about xerjoff erba pura?
I ve had Alexandria II, Richwood, Symphonium, but i always come back to Naxos. The others are amazing of course but they are not as manly as Naxos, they are too sweet.
really? i find the sweetness of naxos is too strong and it feels feminine.
Can't believe it ,today you came on my h9 bus .wow
Lira is my favorite.
Renaisance is ny favorite ! Loved your thoughts, prices can be tough, but i dont think unfounded here.
I like richwood pikovaya dama alexandria 2 symphonium and uden i tried naxos it was meh i tried nio it smells like pure white cologne
Thanks for sharing! Great choices there. 🌹Xo Sam
@@MyWorldofFragrance i have to explore the xerjoff line further because now they hit of miss roja my number 1 house but xerjoffs can be very creative Zanzibar bad to my nose what i normally do is buy a lot of decants and see what ones are bottle worthy but not to get off topic but rose sapphire by boadicea has the most beautiful rose note ive smelled
🔥⚜️NAXOS⚜️🔥
Really enjoyed your review, but I disagree. I own 5 Xerjoff’s and Naxos is my favourite. Xerjoff can be a risky wear, but this one is safe while still being complex enough
LOL hello cool cats and kids. I haven't put my nose on anything xerjoff yet but I'm interested
Lol - you got it 😆. Xerjoff is a must-try to be honest. One of *the* luxury houses of our time. 🌹Xo Sam
@@MyWorldofFragrance gosh my last purchase was Roja Amber Aoud so I'm saving up again for something from that house. Is lira also a little basic for Xerjoff expectations? Its everywhere and I just bought a decant of if it thats still on the way.
@@hlaback If you enjoy gourmand fragrances, then you would like Lira. It's pure dessert. I would recommend trying fragrances from the general Xerjoff line as Lira is from what used to be the Casamorati house, which is a distinctive style.🌹
I love Naxos because of the honey.
I tried a decant of 1861Zefiro and Mamluk but I think your body chemistry has to very different from mine because Mamluk smells like nyc project elevators (urine) on me 🥴I was so grossed out. Zefiro smells ok, reminds me of an older man like my college professor. Tfs
The only one from the 1861 line I loved and was actually compelled to get was Zefiro its the stand out composition in the line for me.
I love Zefiro too! 🌹Xo Sam
What do you think about kobe.
Worst fragrance I have ever smelled 🤦♂️
@@hachraff3503 Okay, I'm glad I didn't purchase that one. How about Xerjoff amber star. I did purchase that one.
Zefiro 👌🏽
All I am gonna say is.... "Carole f**cking Baskin"😂😅. Another good video. With how good you look in this video, you could as well just change your name to Nefertiti 😎
Bravo
Great Review. You're so Beautiful 😍
Aw thank you so much! 🌹 Xo Sam
i ❤️ Fatal Charme 😊☺️😊
Blind BOUGHT based on Hype....DISAPPOINTED 😥 MUGLER PURE HAVANNE IS BETTER in my opinion
do you Carole baskin killed her husband
Allegedly 🙊
Didn’t get a notification for this one, just so you’re aware. It’s probably the reason why the views are low. Unless Mr. Momo is pulling strings? Yup, that’s it… fragrance illuminatus confirmed!
Haha. Thank you for letting me know, although I'm not sure I can do anything about it 😔. Momo should actually be happy with me, I rave about most of his stuff! 🌹Xo Sam
Your beautiful thanks
Save your pennies? Pure Havane is probably more expensive than Naxos now 😂
Hello cool cats and kittens 😂😂😫
😊
You look like a light skinned Jessica Simpson
Are you born in luxor egypt??😂
( haha ) pretty!
Omg you are beautiful...
Unfortunately not for me it wasn't.
So, Naxos is a basic fragrance. Thanks for the tips. I'll pass.
Lmao 🤣...you're crazy?...my advice try it for yourself...I've tried a lot of xerjoff & that's the only one I ended up buying
@@hachraff3503 Bad taste...
Normally I enjoy yours reviews, but this one seems to me, a very snotty and arrogant assessment. Check this O.59 min ->Crow pleasing, popular level this could pass for something else not necessarily a Xerjoff creation? < Do you or do you not want to be recognized for your fragrance?. Kudos for background/history lesson.
THIS USELESS WOMEN DONT EVEN OWN A BOTTLE OF NEXOS HAHAHA BLOODY WASTE OF TIME
