I went to the Tomavicci event today and met a he own and got this awesome signed fragrance.

I always thought Naxos would be my first Xerjoff pick up but when i saw this at a great price i said “nuh-uh”. So here it is. Stuffs stronger in the bottle than the sample. And luckily it suits my skin chem. I love how they put effort into little things and details. Love when a company puts effort into things like this. To me its a sign of appreciation and valuing their customers. Unlike some other brands (cough cough Bond no.9 cough). Usually i chuck boxes in the bin but ill be keeping this.

My daughter was on vacation and traveled to France and Italy and bought me Xerjoff Naxos and my wife Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Forte Mandarine Basilic . I’m so excited to start wearing it, but think I’ll wait till the 90 degree temps drop a bit.

I vowed I would never pay those normal CC price but I got this beauty at a steal! Town and Country for the Win!!!
