The review
On paper, Catania is a strong bet if you want Naxos for less.
Noted Aromas 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 $33 per 100ml it costs 89% less than Naxos — the 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 Noted Aromas 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
The original opens on bergamot, lavender and lemon, turns to honey, cinnamon and jasmine, and settles into tobacco, tonka and vanilla. That is the brief Catania is working from.
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, Catania is the cheapest per 100ml.
