Xerjoff Naxos vs. Dua Brand Fortune

My Personal Take

First Impression

When I spray Xerjoff Naxos, it immediately feels rich and smooth. There’s a honeyed sweetness mixed with tobacco that smells refined and confident. It has that high-end, luxury vibe right from the start.

When I spray Dua Brand Fortune, I instantly recognize the inspiration. It’s bold, sweet, and powerful, but it hits a little louder and rougher in the opening compared to Naxos.

How They Smell on My Skin

Naxos develops beautifully. The honey, lavender, and tobacco blend together in a way that feels creamy and well-balanced. Nothing sticks out too much—it just smells classy and well put together.

Fortune stays strong and dense. The sweetness and tobacco are there, but it feels heavier and more aggressive. It doesn’t evolve as smoothly, but it definitely keeps its presence.

Performance

Both perform very well on me.

Naxos lasts all day with strong projection, but it never feels overwhelming.
Fortune is a beast—very strong projection and long-lasting, sometimes even stronger than Naxos.

If performance alone mattered, Fortune absolutely delivers.

Overall Feel

Naxos feels polished, luxurious, and effortless. It’s the one I reach for when I want to feel confident, refined, and put together.

Fortune feels bold, intense, and unapologetic. It’s great when I want something loud and powerful without worrying about subtlety.

Final Verdict

If I want the best overall experience, I choose Xerjoff Naxos. The quality, balance, and smoothness are hard to beat.

If I want maximum strength and value, Dua Brand Fortune gets the job done and then some.

Both have a place in my collection—but Naxos feels like luxury, while Fortune feels like power.
