The review
Worth a try. That is where 1981X lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Naxos.
Alexandria Fragrances sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Naxos's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $110 per 100ml it costs 62% less than Naxos — the 16th cheapest of 19 twins we can price.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Alexandria Fragrances publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
What it is chasing: bergamot, lavender and lemon up top, honey, cinnamon and jasmine in the middle, tobacco, tonka and vanilla underneath — the shape of Xerjoff Naxos.
Top
- bergamot
- lavender
- lemon
Heart
- honey
- cinnamon
- jasmine
Base
- tobacco
- tonka
- vanilla
For nights that deserve gold. Lavender and citrus dissolve into honeyed tobacco, tonka and vanilla — a warm, opulent fougère you can almost taste.
How it ranks against the other twins
Of the 24 twins of Xerjoff Naxos we can price, 1981X is number 16 on price per 100ml.
