Today I'm going with another recent pickup, one that most reviewers say is the best clone of Xerjoff Naxos. I have a decant of the OG and side by side, I have to say - it's really close. The honey and tobacco really come through in this one with what I feel is better projection than the OG. My only real complaint is the cap - the bottle itself is cool with that frosted glass but that cap - it's kind of cheesy and it's a little hard to secure back on. When I got the package it was off and rattling around inside the box. All in all - I'm really liking it so far.

All seniors here please kindly guide me regarding a dilemma I'm facing. When I first started my fragrance journey I was still in my home country living with my parents and did not have any major expenses by myself. I used to work as well and study and I used help my parents with bills as well and then the rest I would spend on myself eg on a new fragrance. I had a collection of 5 to 7 designers back then. Fast forward to 12.12.25 now I'm studying abroad and I bear all my expenses myself and still help out my parents when I can. However, I've seen a huge shift in regard to my mindset regarding buying new fragrances..all my fragrances are almost used up except for the Aqua di gio parfum ;( . I want to buy a new one but now I don't think it is sensible to buy 2 3 as they are a bit expensive here in EU as per my opinion and I have to also save for my own bills and tuition! how do I go forward and have a healthy relationship with this hobby in a way it will not make me regret? I'm thinking about sticking to only 2 or 3 fragrances even though sometimes I get very tempted to buy a fragrance that I wanted for long time or that I used to like a lot! Yesterday I tried out Juliette Has a Gun Ego Stratis and now I'm in love with it but it's 100€ for 50ml 🙃 ... fy I'm 23 , a student nurse and I manage all my expenses alone . Anyone else ever face such situations?
