This exquisite fragrance was launched in 2015, as part of a special collection that pays tribute to the rich Italian olfactory tradition, masterfully combining fresh and warm notes that achieve perfect harmony. With its complexity and depth, XJ 1861 Naxos presents itself as a sophisticated and multifaceted fragrance, ideal for those seeking an enveloping and long-lasting sensorial experience.

The top notes of XJ 1861 Naxos are a wonderful citrus accord that combines lavender, bergamot and lemon (or lime). Lavender brings a fresh, soft and relaxing sensation, while bergamot, with its vibrant freshness, infuses a sense of elegance and sophistication. The lemon note adds an extra layer of luminosity, creating a bright and refreshing start that awakens the senses. This citrusy start is the perfect prelude to the richness and complexity of the heart and base notes.

At the heart of this fragrance are much warmer and sweeter notes that sublimely complement the opening notes. Honey, with its soft sweetness, merges with cinnamon, which brings a spicy and warm touch that adds character and depth to the fragrance. Cashmere, meanwhile, brings a velvety soft sensation, enveloping the whole in a layer of comfort and elegance. Jasmine sambac, known for its intense and floral aroma, introduces a subtle but appreciable floral dimension, adding a touch of sophistication and sensuality to the heart of the composition.

The contrast between the sweetness of honey and the warmth of cinnamon creates a cozy and enveloping sensation that, together with the floral touch of jasmine sambac, creates an aura of mystery and luxury. It is at this point that the fragrance begins to develop its complexity, displaying an evolution from freshness to depth, without ever losing the sense of sophistication that characterizes XJ 1861 Naxos. The transition from citrus notes to spicy and floral ones is one of the characteristics that makes this fragrance so special and fascinating.

The base of XJ 1861 Naxos is a captivating blend of tobacco leaves, vanilla and tonka bean. The tobacco leaves provide a touch of rusticity and warmth that blends perfectly with the sweetness of vanilla. This combination creates a smooth yet deep finish, with a feeling of richness that lingers over time. Tonka bean, with its sweet and slightly amber tones, adds a warm and balsamic dimension, perfectly complementing the previous notes.

The presence of tobacco, vanilla and tonka bean in the base gives the fragrance a sophisticated and addictive touch, which lingers on the skin for hours, leaving a subtle but long-lasting trail. This olfactory complexity is what makes XJ 1861 Naxos so versatile and special, as, although it starts fresh and light with citrus notes, it evolves through warm, sweet and spicy layers that leave an unforgettable impression.

In short, XJ 1861 Naxos is a fragrance that encloses within it a perfect balance between freshness and warmth, between floral softness and spicy richness. It is a fragrance that invites you to wear it on any occasion, whether during the day thanks to its initial freshness, or at night due to its enveloping and sophisticated character. Without a doubt, XJ 1861 Naxos by Xerjoff is a luxurious olfactory creation that leaves a distinctive, sophisticated and timeless mark.
