The review

Worth a try. That is where Exelof Nexon lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Naxos.

Emper 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 $96 per 100ml it costs 67% less than Naxos — the 15th cheapest of 19 twins we can price.

Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Emper 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.

Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.

How it ranks against the other twins

Of the 24 twins of Xerjoff Naxos we can price, Exelof Nexon is number 15 on price per 100ml.
