First spray was around 12:15 p.m. and I wanted to really track how this one behaves on my skin. 12:15–12:20 (opening): Right off the bat, I got a dry, aromatic impression that actually came across a bit tobacco-like to me. Looking at the notes, that surprised me since the opening is mandarin and rosemary. I didn’t get a bright citrus blast, but more of a rounded, dry aromatic feel. Around 12:30 p.m.: The opening stayed very smooth and understated. Still no sharp citrus pop, and that initial dry aromatic character was lingering. It felt elegant, but very subtle. By 12:54 p.m.: This is where it got interesting. I honestly couldn’t clearly pick up the chocolate, coffee, or coconut that are listed in the heart. I got a faint powdery texture, which might be the iris, but even that was very soft. At this point, it felt like my nose might be going a bit anosmic to the scent, because I wasn’t really detecting much beyond that original dry, tobacco-adjacent impression. Overall, this wears extremely smooth and low-contrast on my skin. Nothing jumps out or announces itself. It feels more about texture and elegance than clearly defined notes. Very refined, but also very easy to go nose blind to if you’re actively sniffing for changes. I going to call this one for today. It’s a great sense, but I’m not gonna be able to do a breakdown of it.

The smell of physical therapy today. In beast mode for shock value. 😂. 6 sprays which is two to three more then my usual. It def got noticed and two compliments. Yes we all know how I’m the anti mass appeal frag guy but Naxos is absolutely a mass appealing frag. Today’s weather of frozen tundra required something sweet and bold. I find Naxos to all that and more. Personally I could never make this a daily wear as it’s two sweet for my tastes. Not that I think I could ever be an sig scent guy. My sig scent is quality and variety. What say you frag fam?

Finally a cold spell here. Versace Eros Flame for today! It's been awhile since cold enough.
