OUR TAKE
Naxos opened very sweet to me, with a rich vanilla impression and heavy white florals that pushed it in a feminine direction. I did not enjoy the first couple of minutes, but it became considerably more appealing as it settled. The overall style reminded me of Tobacco Vanille and Herod, but with lavender added, a facet I found slightly distracting. I associated it strongly with autumn, winter and cooler-weather wear.
