Launched in 2015 as part of the renowned Xerjoff XJ 1861 collection, this fragrance is an olfactory celebration of the opulence and vibrant spirit of Italian culture. Crafted by the esteemed perfumer Sergio Momo, Naxos captures the essence of the Mediterranean with its rich and aromatic composition.

More Fragrance Questions
What is sillage and how does Xj 1861 Naxos Perfume project?
Sillage refers to the trail a fragrance leaves in the air as you move — sometimes called projection or throw. Fragrances with bold base notes like oud, amber, musk, and woods tend to project strongly. Lighter, citrus-forward or aquatic fragrances sit closer to the skin. For maximum projection, apply Xj 1861 Naxos Perfume to pulse points and allow it to dry naturally without rubbing.
Why does Xj 1861 Naxos Perfume smell different on me than in the bottle?
Fragrances interact with your skin chemistry, body temperature, and pH level, which is why the same scent can smell different from person to person. Factors like skin hydration, diet, and even medication can influence how a fragrance develops. Applying to moisturised skin helps the scent bloom more fully and last longer.
How should I apply Xj 1861 Naxos Perfume for best results?
Spray Xj 1861 Naxos Perfume onto pulse points — wrists, neck, behind the ears, inner elbows, and chest — where body heat will amplify the scent. Hold the bottle 10–15 cm from your skin and avoid rubbing the fragrance in, as this breaks down the top notes and reduces longevity. Applying over an unscented moisturiser helps the scent last even longer.
What is the difference between designer and niche fragrances?
Designer fragrances are produced by major fashion brands — such as Dior, Chanel, and YSL — and formulated to appeal to a broad audience at an accessible price. Niche fragrances are created by independent perfume houses with a focus on artistic expression, rare ingredients, and unique scent profiles, produced in smaller quantities at a premium price.
What makes Arabian and Middle Eastern fragrances unique?
Arabian fragrances — from houses like Lattafa, Rasasi, Afnan, and Swiss Arabian — are rooted in centuries-old perfumery traditions using ingredients like oud, rose, saffron, amber, and musk. They are often oil-based or highly concentrated, giving them exceptional longevity and sillage, while offering remarkable value compared to Western niche fragrances.
