Xerjoff 1861 Naxos EDP

From the first spray, there’s an immediate sense of depth—often opening with a dry, crisp cedarwood or a creamy sandalwood. These woods offer two sides of masculinity: one sharp and structured, the other soft and smooth.

i love it so much

From the initial spray, you’re greeted with bold, earthy top notes, like citrus or herbs, which offer a fresh opening that invigorates the senses. These are usually complemented by richer, deeper notes that develop over time, such as cedarwood, sandalwood, or vetiver. These woods provide a warm and grounded essence, often evoking a sense of the outdoors or a rugged, natural environment.

There’s something beautifully distinctive about this cologne — it doesn’t smell like anything mainstream, and that’s exactly what I love about it. It feels crafted, almost like a quiet piece of art you wear on your skin. The layers unfold subtly throughout the day, shifting from fresh to warm with a kind of effortless sophistication. It doesn’t chase attention, but the right people notice. This isn’t just fragrance — it’s identity, memory, and mood, all bottled up in something truly special.
